<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Victor, post: 1866320, member: 5454&quot;]I know it can get confusing.&nbsp; With unopened boxes UNC and BU are about the same thing.&nbsp; In other words he probably bought the boxes from a bank and the coins were&nbsp; never circulated. So if that&#039;s true [never opened box of all the same date] then they are called MS [mint state] in the Redbook or other price guides.</p><p>&nbsp; In my opinion, to get an idea of the value on numismedia you would click on MS-61 to MS-70 up on the top once you are on the page for Lincoln cents. This would be for the newer unopened boxes.</p><p>In the Redbook you would look under the column for MS-60 and that would be the minimum price for that coin.&nbsp; This would apply to the newer coins say from 1983 and newer. </p><p>&nbsp; There is alot to learn, like the 4 different types of 1909 cents.&nbsp; Chances are what he left in rolls was the no VDB 1909 common ones.&nbsp; Rolls of 1909 VDB are worth quite a bit and people do leave them in rolls too.&nbsp; The Redbook should show you where the VDB is located on the reverse side of the 1909 cent.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
