John Bonzo Valued Member United States 123 Posts	Posted 08/01/2011 10:39 am My grandfather has given me two 1960D large date rolls that he has had in his desk drawer, probably sitting there since 1960. I am excited about looking through these (as I would be any coins) but am wondering if there is anything to look for besides maybe a small date or DD? If I don't find any errors, is there any reason not to throw these in my copper pile? Thanks! Report this Post to the Staff

I have an original roll of BU Small Dates; you can trust me on this 'cause I did the adrenaline thing at first myself. Report this Post to the Staff

John Bonzo Valued Member United States 123 Posts	Posted 08/01/2011 12:29 pm Thanks for the replies! I didn't see anything looking through the first time, but I am still "developing my eye." I've casually collected since I was a kid (just pulling stuff out of circulation), but my interest is starting to take off a bit (hoping it's a hobby that my daughter will be excited about sharing with me).

chugly Valued Member United States 234 Posts	Posted 08/01/2011 2:01 pm I virtually guarantee that you have at least a few repunched mintmarks in those rolls as there are so many of them for that date. This could be a great chance to train yourself on what to look for. Be sure you use good lighting and magnification and you could be pleasantly surprised, especially since these are all BU examples. Coppercoins.com is a great resource for helping identify them. Best of luck! Report this Post to the Staff

Thanks, that website is terrific. I will definitely use this as a learning experience. Report this Post to the Staff
