I stopped by the bank today and got two $25 boxs of pennies. I got 12 wheat pennies, my most ever in one sitting but not my best amount per roll. A few S mints. A couple hundred copper cents which went into my 2nd copper cent bucket. 8 Canadian cents. And a few error coins, one of which is missing the copper coating on the back (mint failed to place on the back copper coating) Anyone have ant idea on what something like that is worth? Couple bucks probably? Not excited about having to roll up about 4700 pennies now

Dang, 10k would take a while! 5K takes a while as is!

Keep in mind, most "errors" are post mint damage. Chemicals can remove the plating but there are unplated cent errors but it's usually both sides. Here is a good site listing Lincoln cent errors. http://www.lincolncentresource.com/Errors/Lincoln_Cent_Errors.html
