    hello to everyone, i recently purchase a 25$ box of pennies from the bank and after opening 2 rolls realized that they were all the same year and all in perfect uncirculated condition, i checked the rest of the rolls without opening them and every one had a 1973 on the end of the roll. Does anybody know the value of these or would they only be worth the copper value. All of the rolls are the same wrapper as well, and there is no mint mark on them so i assume they came from the philadelphia mint. ty for any help on this .

    I would put the coins together to make two rolls, and sell it on eBay

    All pennies without a mintmark (except in 1965-67 where all pennies don't) come from Philly.

    eBay auctions have one roll for $2.50, and 50 rolls @ $2.50 each ($125). Also, there is one for over 3 times that amount

    You can check ebay completed auctions, I see these sell for $3-5 plus shipping since they are OBW rolls. CONGRATS! That's pretty amazing!
