Thank you for the generous offer, Carl, but mostly my problem is with organization. If you'd still like to help, how about I send you $100 in pennies, and you can sort them by date, mintmark and grade, then send them back to me in separate bags once I've got a proper storage system set up.
Deal?
Oddly enough you would be amazed at how many times in the past I've come back from a bank with a $50 bag of pennies(cents). Sat down and gone through them one at a time. Almost all ended up back in the banks though but eventually filled many Albums or close to that. Of course that was a long time ago when there were still some coins of value around and an Album didn't have a lot of slots yet.
I USED to put massive amounts of what I thought would someday be valuable in those plastic rolls. Naturally sorted by dates and mints. Eventually I realized it would take a thousand years for most to be worth the trouble so I started taking those to the banks too. Just didn't want to wait a thousand years yet.
