[QUOTE="desertgem, post: 911445, member: 15199"]There is a logical answer and also an emotional answer. Logically, the chance of finding a valuable coin is quite low. Bag storage of copper is very chancy, each might be a bright spotless red, or every single one has spots or corrosion, or somewhere in-between. But it is mint sealed, so sell to the emotional answer people below, at a multiple of several times emphasizing what treasures could exist and what they are selling for ( typical ebay write-up ), and be willing to live with them possibly ( extremely low chance) posting the roll worth of 72/72 #1 DDO, they found. Emotional answer. Break open the bag and check each one, you can always sell as unc, serached, rolls, and you won't toss and turn at night wondering...... If you do, have tubes or containers, so you can sort only once. One area for Unc ( spotted, etc, low end MS-60, one group of average MS(63-65), one for high end ( better than 65, one for nice toned, one area for varieties ( probably in flips or 2x2), and one for spending as it is corroded or badly dinged. I would keep the high end, toned , and varieties and sell the rest cheap. Then you can decide if worth slabbing some for resell. Just my experience. Jim[/QUOTE]
