My latest box = 50 rolls of 2016D Lincolns

I get a box per week from the bank. It's usually mixed Loomis rolls. A couple of times I've got boxes of 2015D's. I dump them back into the coinstar without looking at them.
Here is my first full box of 2016D's. I don't know if I want to torture myself and look through them. There haven't been any Denver shield cent errors yet....

Yeah - searching the same looking coins for hours at a time without finding anything would make you just want to dump them. But then the "OK one more roll" kicks in.

 

Now that's dedication...would be fun a time or 2 though...GoodLuck

 

Keep maybe a few BU rolls and dump the rest back? Or sell it to bidiots on Fleabay and try to make a profit? Or torture yourself searching through them all with the possibility of having a discovery piece? Who knows what you can do with the box?

 

I'd rather gouge my eyes out than search a solid box of shield cents.

 

Nothing major reported so far but LOTS of Philly die cracks at the top left of the shield, at "One" and the right side of the banner. Nothing on the D's so far.

 

Maybe I missed something, but why get them if your not going to search them?

 

I think he was hoping for different dates, not just a solid box of 2016D's

 

I shout for joy when I get a new 2016 in change.

IMHO your system appears to be flawed buying coins from the bank and than turning them into coin star. I'm not sure what they charge, but why not return to another bank for 0.00 ?

A box on ebay is going for $40.00 + shipping, why not make a few dollars on them?

 

Oh hell, why get married if you know you ain't gonna be happy the rest of your life??

 

And that has to do with what?

I know... hahaha
The Denver mint must be run like a tight ship. I know it will be a waste of time. However there is always the outside chance... I am going to look at one or two rolls a week from that box.

 

Do banks want them back? I know my bank doesn't. I only lose $2.70 from coinstar.

 

A box of 2016 Denver mint or Philly? I'd be excited if it was Philly box.

 

Cool I just checked and you are right! I'll put them up for $40.00....
I always hope for mixed rolls.

 

Nothing ventured, nothing gained! I am always hoping for a solid box of Philly's but no luck so far. But I just recently completed putting together 90 doubled die Memorials from 1998-2005. ( Left and right pillars in statue bay) No time to attribute so I put up on ebay. Helps put food on the table and buy my puppy nice treats. We are both happy with this arrangement.

 

I just got my 6th box of 2016-P cents from my pick up bank (out of the last 7 boxes I've picked up). Wish I had the patience for dealing with eBay - Turning $25 into $40 is a pretty good trick.

 

So I'm new to the penny roll hunting everyone. I got two boxes of pennies. One is a box of hand rolled pennies and the other was sealed and has Loomis on every roll. They all have shiny shields on the back and 2016 on the front with no mint mark. Is it safe to say that they are all brand new rolls of pennies and that every cent in the roll will be brand new?

 

I decided to search them but only when I run out of mixed rolls. I can do about 2 rolls before getting tired. Since I'm looking for that little extra thickness on liberty, some distortion on the date, or some thickness on the designers initials on the reverse it takes a little time to look closely at every one.
