Of the rolls in your pics only the 1975D UNC appears to have not been opened yet... I see no damage to the the ends of the wrapper like the other 3 paper wrapped rolls... Unless the individual whom had the 75D roll prior to your grandmother had a coin rolling machine... The other 2 rolls have probably been searched... There could still be some really nice varieties or errors in the rolls though!!!

Hello and welcome to the LCF! You have come to the right place to crack those rolls open and see what you've got! Lots of pros here to help, so ask away!

Your list only shows the date, not the MM, but that is very important. Some rolls are quite valuable and offer great cherrypicking opportunities. Maybe take some more pics of the roll so we can see more of them and give opinions, and list them with both date and MM?

The 43 roll might be the best depending on if it's an uncirculated roll and depending on how the coins look and the mintmark will help set the value.

Most of the others are a few bucks, the 58 a bit more.

You might find some varieties if you search them.

Better yet you might get interested in searching and learning about cents and varieties, it might be fun for you.

ok these two im pretty sure are bank rolled and have never been searched. the brown ones are very tightly wrapped VERY ive taken a couple apart and its a struggle to unwrap and impossible to re wrap like original

Let me know what you think thanks!!

Well, I don't know about you, but I would be tearing those 1972 rolls apart looking for a die 4!

[Scheel]

die 4 let me google that lol

There are certain years with some great varieties, that's what you can learn here.
In 1972 there is die-1 which is about the biggest doubled die obverse cent (other than the 1955). If you find one it might be $400-$800 then there is die-4 which might be similar or more value. Plus Die 2-3-5-6-7-8 can be worth $20-$100 or more depending on grades.

Another year in your group that has some possible rare coins would be 1971-P.

Plus a lot of other years have some worth looking for.

There is a very rare 1969-S doubled die that is worth $10,000-$100,000.

You should also check your 1960-P rolls for small dates and 1970-S rolls for small dates and a very rare 70-S doubled die.

Bottom line is most of the rolls are worth a few dollars but if you do some reading and searching the rolls and find a few good varieties in them you could be very lucky!

Nice! Make sure you wear some cotton gloves and have some containers or new paper rolls to put the cents back in when you're done. I see hours of fun looking at those! Even though a roll has been searched, some collectors only look for certain things. I have searched through rolls that have been "searched" through before and have found all kinds of varieties and cool errors. Good luck!

I was going through and getting a detailed list and found this a 1975 with a solid D is this anything special? It happens to be on the end of a still machine rolled bank roll!

[enamel7]

It's not special. Usually comes from a die chip. Some collect them, but not really any added value.

Don't only look for varieties! High grade, gem BU cents from this time period can be VERY valuable. Have a look at the PCGS price guide, check the MS-66 and higher prices. A lot of issues are very difficult to find in higher grades!
