<p>[QUOTE=&quot;treylxapi47, post: 1791751, member: 41863&quot;]Hey guys, just wanting to garner some advice from the crowd out there. I was at my grandfathers late last week and as I was about to leave his storage area when he asked me if I wanted a bag of pennies. I knew what he meant when he said that, he was saying he had some old pennies to give to me and to take them if I wanted them. I always take whatever my grandfather offers me (he always says if someone is giving something to you, take it no matter what because its free) unless its a ridiculously high end item then I usually turn him down. </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Anyway, i just thought it was a bag of random extra wheaties, which of course is exactly what the largest portion of the coins were. I think i only pulled 5 pennies out there were dated prior to 1940, and one statue of liberty half dollar, everything else was 40s-50s wheat cents.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>However, there were 2 plastic tubes with some pretty red pennies inside. I didnt pay any attention until I got home and started to organize and separate everything. </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Well i sorted all the loose wheaties by era like i normally do, pre 40s in rolls, post 40s in a big jar. </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Thats when i started to get to the rolls. I checked the tape on top holding the lids on and the caps both had 1960. One had a small LD and the other had a small SD written on it, im assuming standing for Small Date and Large Date. Now I have a roll of both varieties and without opening the tubes for examination all seem to be bright shiny red Lincoln cents. </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>So my question is what should i do? Submit for grading and see what happens, leave as is, sell the whole rolls, keep the whole rolls, what? I really dont know what to do about these. They seem to be worth a little bit in full red gem condition in MS-65 of better. Im fairly certain all 100 would grade at least that high judging by what I can see, im just curious on what I should do with them. Right now they are being left as-is in my box with my other rolls, the only thing i may do is re-tube them and put them back up for now, mainly to get a chance to look them over and see the condition. So im just looking at my options and seeing where i should head next with these.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Thanks for any input or advice![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
