2021 pennies found with double stamped obverse and reverse

I went to the bank to buy some new pennies to go through. The first 5 rolls had VERY OBVIOUS doubling in the words and the date. I stopped opening cause I didn't want to touch any more. The error started to taper off with the nose being doubled. I don't know where to start with these. They aren't documented. Should I join pcgs and get advice?

    You do not have full posting privileges yet and likely won’t until Tuesday or Wednesday.

    That means you cannot upload pictures

    This forum software does display images already hosted on a web server. You would have to upload them to the other web server and link them here.

    We would need to see pictures of the front and back to give meaningful advice

    The most likely scenario is that you are seeing some form of machine doubling, this is common and worthless because it happens a lot. When you can post photos in a few days please do so, with the foreknowledge that it may not be anything.

    [The first 5 rolls had VERY OBVIOUS doubling in the words and the date.]

    Are you saying a FEW CENTS per roll, out of the first 5 rolls, had some form of doubling or the ENTIRE 50 cents in the first 5 rolls had some form of doubling? Hard to believe that every cent in the 5 rolls has MD.

    I may be able to pay you $5,000 per roll.

    @Kimmybff ... Welcome aboard. We will need pictures to properly assess your coins. In the quantity you mentioned, it is likely to be machine doubling, which does not carry a numismatic premium. We will be glad to help when you post images. Cheers, RickO
