Most folks who look at pennies in "brilliant uncirculated" condition are only looking at the fact that the coins are "pretty pennies" and do not take into consideration nicks, scratches and strength of strike. As others have mentioned most modern pennies can be gotten in ms63 from bank rolls over time without much effort. What is hard is finding them in grades ms65 or better this way. I am not saying it cannot be done but it is TOUGH.

This listing makes getting a set easy assuming the stuff from the 1960's and 1970's and 1980's truly is bu. The price seems very fair to me as that is a bunch of coins. Sincerely, John Leckrone

Personally I do have a very high grade set and a PL set. I also would like to have a roll set of gems but I'm far short of this goal.


Let me tell you....I have a bazillion hours into my Memorial roll set. I have 1982 and up, but continue to upgrade each roll as I find better and better examples. Most of my rolls are MS-64 at minimum, many are MS-65+....but it's a helluv a lot of work!

Isn't it nice when a non-collector looks at your album and says..... "A bunch of Pennies in a book ? Why bother with Pennies ?" .....
