    No dates/mint marks that stand out. If you took them to a dealer you may get 4-5 cents each. I took about 10000 to a dealer last year and he paid 4 cents each for the 40's and 50's (a little more for the 1943 steel cents) and a little more for the older decades.

    Thanks, wxcoin, I'll keep that in mind. Could be I'll just hang on to them and let my grandkids deal with them someday...

    I only got 2 cents for my 40s and 50s a few years back. Good on you!

    I also thought the 4 cents and up was a very fair dealer price to pay.

    Things must have changed over the last five years or so. 2.5 to 3 used to be fairly common and was perfectly reasonable imo.

    Perhaps the standard 3 cents is going up. But this is prob just the exception and not the rule.

    If my memory isn't doing tricks I believe the dealer paid me 6 cents for teens and 5 cents for 20's and 30's. I had about 500 common IHC which he paid 25 cents each. I thought he was very fair. I helped an elderly lady (well, at least older than me) sell her late mother's collection and he was very fair in buying the entire collection as well.

    Richard, you had only two 1955s in there. What were you expecting? You have to have at least seven or eight to have a chance at seeing the DDO. :)

    Wow how sad ..how very sad. The jokes and mocking just continues. The experience here has basically confirmed there is so much sadness poeple enjoy placing on others. Go ahead enjoy your hurtful posts..laugh at a person who said anything positive..go ahead enjoy your hate.

    For all your information folks I am not stupid, I was a coin dealer for 10 years, I have experienced the joy coins can provide to the mind and soul for the last 40 years and still do now in my mid seventies. Now go ahead and bash...have fun...call someone else a liar..a fool.. The facts are I ejoyed the rolls..I never expected the golden rainbow..I did find alot of key and semi key dates..I did not expect to make money only to have fun looking through what I felt were honest rolls. So let the bashing start....

    The only thing sad are your posts here. I haven't seen anyone bashing you here; just relating their experiences with purchasing "unsearched" rolls. Nobody has said there aren't honest sellers out there but nobody is just going to give anything away either. It looks to me like you have a problem with any opinion other than yours. If you had good experiences searching thorough rolls, great, I'm happy for you. I enjoyed searching through rolls of coins until I realized I now had thousands of coins sitting around doing nothing for me collecting dust. When the dust settled and I sold the coins I realized how much I could have saved just purchasing the coins I needed. That's my experience and this doesn't negate yours.

    When interacting with people in a public forum you have to keep an open mind and not take anything personally. Many threads go off the deep end and resemble nothing like the original topic; just move along.

    I don't think I have taken any shots.
    A dealer would know there are no unsearched cents.

    @pjerin, I ever tell you about the time I found a dead fish in my backyard? It was just lying there, and I'm nowhere near the water-level, leastways not low enough to where a fish could jump in my yard. I figure an osprey might have picked it up and dropped the sucker. Either that or one of the cats took a fishing pole from the garage and caught it. But I'd hate to think that because none of them has a fishing license and that would mean one of them broke the law. It was a big bass, though, musta gone three pou-oh, you were saying?

    Tell ya what, @pjerin. Try real hard to shake off this victim-mentality of yours. You'll feel a lot better for it, and for that matter, so will we...

    That's the going price that we trade for at my coin club 2.5-3. Sometimes more, sometimes less but that is about average price for me.
