Roll-searchers, post your results!

I've been out of CRH commission for months with a new job and personal stuff...

I decided to pull out 15 rolls of quarters from about 50 I've had in a box since earlier this year.
Found a whole bunch of beautiful MS specimens, a 2020 W V75, a 2012 S Puerto Rico (only 1.68 million minted), a newer toner and an absolutely lovely terminal toner from my birth year.

That was fun! To say the least!!!

Long time no see.

 

Really glad to see you back!

 

Awww thanks!!

 

amazing!

 

What is the coolest thing you've found in nearly two million cents searched?

 

I've found a lot of cool errors and varieties. My oldest cent found was an 1879 IHC.
Nothing that I will retire on but it keeps me busy and out of trouble for the most part

 

So today I scored one NF String original wrapped roll of each of the first 20 presidents in the Golden Dollar series (president name is printed on each roll), and one Mint-wrapped 2000-P Sac dollar roll.

Seeking opinions. Did I make a good hit or is this not as cool as it seems? What can I do with this stuff?

 

They sell for a few bucks over face on ebay from what I've seen. I had a bunch one time and after I factored in ebay/paypal fees, packaging, shipping, my time, it wasn't worth it to me. I just unwrapped, checked for missing edge lettering and dumped them all.

 

Like FF said, you may be able to sell each $25 roll for $28-30, so not much return on your investment. Still a neat find!

 

The question is - will they still sell for any kind of premium if I rip them open to look for missing edge lettering? And how likely would it be that I'd find missing edge lettering? Bird in hand vs. two in bush, ya know...

 

If you find a missing edge lettering that single coin is worth as much as the whole roll and so on,but if you open it and go bust you won't get an extra return.

 

Is the time/effort of selling them to make an extra buck or two worth it to you?
That's the question.
If you find a missing edge lettering, that'd be worth plenty more than the roll itself.
To me, the time and effort to make a buck isn't worth it so it was better/easier to open the rolls and do a quick search. If nothing is there, dump, get that money back to buy more rolls. I'd rather not have CRH money sitting around waiting to make a dollar on it. Keep the money moving and search more rolls. At least that's what's best for me.

 

The DUBYA couldn't look much nicer if I had stolen it right off of the conveyor after being stamped at the Mint. BU for sure. And then the 1 yuan traveled halfway around the planet just to end up in my stash...

 

Barely touched

 

Hit a dump today. Already went through some penny rolls and found that most of it was copper Memorials, some in beautiful condition. But the piéce de resistance may be the "WI-D" roll in this batch of quarter rolls (some of which are obviously uncirculated). I'm gonna crack that bad boy open after dinner... drum roll please...

 

Phooey. Just 50 beautiful, shiny, common die variety 2004-Ds.

 

Found a 38S.
