Just got a lot in.
Are collectors still looking for these or should I return them back to the wild?
I see some selling on ebay, but not sure its worth the time or effort.
These are quick lunch time photos and I'll know more about them after work.

IMO, most posting here would not bother.
If you have the time to look for virtually flawless coins and the money to have them graded have fun. Try a few and see if you make a profit. Seems like something for a retired person. If you are a dealer, sell the rolls to your CRH customers.
I would dump them in my local bank at face value.

Search the rolls for errors/varieties and use the rest to pay your mortgage or rent.
Depends on the years for dollars if they are 2002-2008 or 2012-present they are NIFCs and are worth some over face the rest you may be able to sell if they are still in mint rolls
Ok, quick update.
20 assorted rolls in plastic tubes HALF are marked BU (they look pretty good but I'm not a coin grader so that may be a stretch)
3 rolls marked errors.
North Dakota marked BU some errors, definitely something up with this roll (as pictured)
Got a 2x2 marked Minnesota Extra Leaf and $50 OBV error?
Looks like it may havve clashing on the North Dakota. Need more lighting on the pic.

The surface is a little lower and ruff where the mark is.
Reflects light differently.
I checked a few in the roll and all seem to have the same marks.
Looks a little like a giant panther stalking the buffalo.
You may want to break the rolls and sort them out for variety & error .... just for the fun of it.
The bank will take loose coin anyway right?
This is my precious 'flower saca' given to me as a gift from the forum members ....... and it is very very special at $1000
Bank wants them wrapped up in government wrappers....that translates to we dont want to do the work.
These aren't really anything special, NOT super minty.
15 bank rolls of 2000P.
8 head to tail, 2 head to head,5 tail to tail and 1 roll of 2000D.
The rest were hand rolled and some loose in the mix.
I could try and ebay the 10 rolls, but again they aren't in minty condition and after fees really not worth the $25 they Might bring in IF no issues arise from shipping.
Can we use it in commerce? They are legal tenders aren't they?
Coinstar will give full value e-gift cards to Amazon, Lowes, eBay, Home Depot, Best Buy...
Cashed in a large amount of coins a while back. I haven't bought anything at those places by credit card in over a year.
Just sayin'...
Sure we can, but I dont have any local Bills to pay.
I have a few cash back credit cards for anything over $20.
A better idea is hit up your local casino IF they take loose coins. NO 3% fee and you get cash instead of a gift card.
It looks like a strike-through.
What do you mean by not having any local Bills to pay? I thought they were yours already.
Yes I have them in hand.
My day to day purchases get done for the most part with a CC.
So by no local Bills I ment cash purchases, I really dont want to lug around rolls of change.
Could go down and pay the property taxes, that would go over big no Doubt.
Coinstar doesn't charge any fees if you get a gift card, and I'm always buying stuff from Amazon, eBay, Home Depot, Best Buy. Since I've never won at a casino (well, more than a couple bucks), the gift cards are a far better option for me...
Oh I see and now understand your dilemma. What is your plan? Keeping a couple rolls of 'error'?
So far the plan is I have a couple feelers out to a couple guys in the local coin club on the UNCish rolls.
I'm thinking the bank will get the sacagawea dollars tomorrow and I'll probably hang on to the 3 rolls of errors and a couple in the 2x2's.
I'll convert the loose quarters and after the coin club meeting in a few weeks, if I dont have anyone interested in any of the 20 UNCish rolls they will most likely be converted at the casino.
For the next few weeks, shop only at vending machines.
