[QUOTE="Midas, post: 51448, member: 2761"]The question becomes: "Was it worth it?" I can't justify looking through bank rolls and hoping for that wheat penny that is worth more than 5 cents. As stated before, these rolls have been searched and cherry-picked [U]many[/U] [U]times[/U] over the years. I remember as a kid in the late 60's looking through rolls and just being happy to find a D or S minted wheaties. Even though wheaties were not minted for nearly 10 years, finding them or any decent coins was almost nill...and that was nearly 40 years ago! I guess you have to hope to find a stash in some old guy's attic that is truely unserached. Bank roll cents don't seem to pay off after you consider the time, expense and all factors. Now watch somebody post they just found a 1909S VDB or a 1955 DDO in a bank roll.[/QUOTE]
