what are you collecting?
you can find silver in dimes and quarters, but they are not common
and halves have a lot more dates withe silver.
and nickels 1942-1945 have 35% silver.
and cents are cool cause of all the errors you can find.

 

ok thank for the help =D

 

here is a good thread: http://www.cointalk.com/threads/coin-roll-hunting-faq-v-2-0.202337/

 

If you will be coin roll hunting, I suggest highly you educate yourself on the varieties out there to search for. Varieties are the best things to find nowadays, as most silver and rare dates/mm have been picked through already. I would pick up the appropriate Cherry pickers guide for whatever denomination you wish to pursue.

 

ok thx

 

I think I want to get pennies dimes or most the banks I go to don't have half dollars

 

Personally I would suggest cents or nickels. Both tend to have older coins in them since they were not silver before 1965, and both tend to have more varieties. But, all of them are in one book, the Vol I of the Cherrypickers guide.

I bet you a dollar that if you are roll searching and buy and use this book it will pay for itself in a few weeks, (or sooner). Knowledge is the most important thing you can have in coin collecting. Luck helps, but I would choose knowledge over luck if I had to.

 

ok thanks for the help I will look in to getting that book thanks for advice

 

is cherrypickers a book a about coin roll hunting or coin errors?

 

Its about all known varieties per date and mm. Pull out a coin, look up the date, and see if there are known doubled dies or other varieties to look for. Its just a guidebook of known varieties. Its not ABOUT roll hunting, but extremely useful FOR roll hunting.

 

ok I think ill get it for my kindle thanks for the advice

 

when your looking for double died coins do use just use a magnifying glass?

 

Coin roll hunting can be a major pain if you don't have a lot of free time. You have to open up 100+ rolls sort through em take out the ones you want. look for varieties (optional) then put all your reject coins in rolls and take them to another bank.

 

I have a lot of free time I never think coin roll hunting is boring even if I don't find any thing good

 

i do too, just 0 time to go to the bank. i literally live in the middle of nowhere.

 

Creepy stuff happens in the middle of nowhere...

 

don't you DARE quote that stupid show!

 

I watched it when I was a kid. I thought it was pretty good.

 

its so weird! im getting chills just thinking bout' it.
why did you bring it up, might i ask?
