    I came across 90 rolls of these uncirculated coins. Worth anything? Thanks.

    Sure, somewhere between $4.50 and $450. :D

    Seriously, there were 756,373,244 minted in Philadelphia and 1,753,266,700 in Denver that year, plus 3,028,244 proofs in Philly. MS65 examples from both mints carry only a small premium over face, PR65s are in the Red Book for a buck, and any lower grades are spending money.

    I checked completed auctions on eBay for BU '61 rolls.

    Once you figure in the S&H charge, they are going for $4.50-$5.50 per roll. (P+D)

    Well that's up to you of course - but I'd look at this way.

    A roll of pennies, if spent, is worth 50 cents. If you sold them they are worth about $4.50. I see a bit of a difference there.

    Let's say you offer these rolls on ebay in 10 roll lots for $2.50 a roll. At this price they should sell easily and quickly and provide you with 4 times the value you would have if you spent them.
