Cents - Proof

Proof rolls of cents contain 50 individual singles of the same date and mintmark wrapped into a single roll. Proof rolls can be either original rolls or so-called put-together rolls of coins, although put-together rolls may sell at a discount to Greysheet bid.

The coins in an original Brilliant Proof roll of Lincoln cents will generally grade MS64 to potentially MS66 and higher. One reason a person may buy a roll is to individually sell the coins as singles or to build multiple sets of coins. Collectors and dealers alike also enjoy searching uncirculated rolls for potential cherrypicking of scarce and valuable errors and varieties.
