papadoc Posted June 18, 2005 Report Share Posted June 18, 2005 i'd pay face value... that's about it, maybe a hair over. that's just me tho Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Metalman Posted June 19, 2005 Report Share Posted June 19, 2005 There worth just a tad over face value,, Not much more as a whole!! the only way that any particular cent of that year could be worth more, is Graded MS-66 red and above With the best premiums being above MS-67 Red. Good Luck, if the bag is opened the chances of finding a coin like that is Nill!! Rick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coinjoe2006 Posted June 19, 2005 Report Share Posted June 19, 2005 i'd pay face value... that's about it, maybe a hair over. that's just me tho Hm..Yeah, I would agree Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
28Plain Posted June 19, 2005 Report Share Posted June 19, 2005 Once you pick out the best few and put them in 2x2's the rest will bring you $.50 per roll at your bank. Hope that isn't a full bag of half a million cents. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Art Posted June 19, 2005 Report Share Posted June 19, 2005 Let me suggest another market that may net you 75 cents or a dollar a roll, if they are truly BU, ie not covered with spots or verdigris, Elongated cent collectors. They want the pre-Zinc lincolns and will often save them from circulation and clean them. SO.... There's a nice forum for elongated collectors on Yahoo. You may want to try there, or put some rolls on ebay intended for elongated fans or squished penny folks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SilverDollarMan Posted June 21, 2005 Report Share Posted June 21, 2005 I have paid $1.50 for 1961 P or D, in BU Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peter Posted June 22, 2005 Report Share Posted June 22, 2005 BU to me is Brilliant Uncirculated which apart from a few marks is exactly that. The US grading system for Unc (uncirculated) coins narks me. I'm given a choice of BU,BU gem,Bu Choice Gem MS63 to 70 ......Buy the BU choice gem store it in normal conditions and it becomes UNC. and slabbing....I would rather give up Numismatics....Try collecting hammered or Greek/Roman (stupid prices abound for newish 200 yr old coins) RANT OVER Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
