1968S and 1968D Penny the two rolls have been opened

I just opened two rolls of 1968s and 1968D penny that have NEVER been opened until last week. All have never been touched. The two ends of both rolls had slight oxidation. All the D and most of the S are cut off center amongst other errors. I will put them under the scope tomorrow.

    I see no errors on the coins in your photos.

    They look nice. Here is what MS67's look like, they are hard to find in this grade, these were all from mint sets but that does not mean you can't find them in a roll.

    Nice, but normal, coins. Be careful of falling down the rabbit hole of looking for errors with a scope. You'll find tiny meaningless anomalies on pretty much every coin. I'd try to pick out the best condition coins and put them in holders to protect them.

    That does not guarantee anything. They are not necessarily going to be high grade.

    All the D and most of the S are cut off center amongst other errors.

    Mintmarks were still handpunched into the dies during those years. There is naturally a wide variation in placement. It does not constitute an "error".

    I will put them under the scope tomorrow.!

    Why? What do you expect to find?
