First off, I'm a hand sorter, so I only do a $25 box once a week. This is my CWR dime/half dump branch so I get my penny boxes from them, and usually do pretty good. But when the box crossed the teller window I knew it was bad before even cracking a roll. 50 shiny NF String rolls glaring back at me Yup, a solid box of 2010 shields... wondering if I should dump them as is at another bank or try and sell them for a small premium? I'd probably be lucky to break even with fees and shipping though. Oh well, you win some you lose some!

OK I think I remember.

The scene in Goodfellas when DeNiro (Jimmy Conway) decides he's going to kill all his associates in the Luftansa heist.

Maybe a local dealer/collector will pay enough to make it worth keeping them.

Hmmm, looks like Heartkill (aka DeNiro) is smoking something that was veeerrrry popular back in the day when I was in school!

Open the rolls and spend a day picking the best 50 under extreme magnification and dump the rest.

I wouldn't even spend my time doing that. There are a TON of 2010 pennies out there.....

Now its a TON - 2500

Take a quick look on ebay,2010 shields are selling from 40 to 80 dollars per box, not a bad return. Being the first year of shield issue they might have a collector value? I have obtained 3 boxes of shields, I think that they might bring a premium down the road
Just my two cents.
