[QUOTE="softmentor, post: 2188991, member: 10469"]From what you have said here, these are exactly the sort of coins that roll searcher collectors love to buy. They hope to get lucky and find an error set or a rare date and make a nice profit. so, there is potential $ to be made if you learn about each series and what has value and go through them with collectors eye. There is also $ to be made selling them as is, not as much, maybe, but some value there. what you don't want to do is dump them too cheep. unless you sell them to me of course : ) You may not want to spend a LOT of time learning about coins but it would be worth getting some basic knowledge to be sure you are getting fair value for what you sell. RE copper cents, there is a very small premium at this time for copper (pre zink) rolls on Ebay, but don't forget that they charge a pretty good fee on product AND SHIPPING. that means to sell 10 rolls of cents you would have to get about $11.22 to cover face value ($5.00) shipping (probably $5.25 for that much weight) and fees (usually 10% or more).
