    Found this 1c roll in an old jar of misc copper coins. Is it still worth anything even though the roll has been opened at one end?

    I think it might vary with the years. Still, even though it has been opened, probably still better in the roll, especially if its complete.

    The 1c coins? I tried to see but the roll is obscuring the date.

    The other coins are just a mix of random world coins, a couple of older pennies and half pennies, but nothing that looks particularly valuable.

    I squeezed the top of the roll a little to expose the year: 1977.

    Based on recent ebay sales, I think you would earn more by splitting the roll and placing each coin into a 2 x 2 coin sleeve.
    You could possibly earn $1 plus postage per coin.

    As complete rolls based on recent sales are going for around the $10+ mark

    Hope this helps
