Roll-searchers, post your results!

Are they $25 rolls? I'm not too familiar with that denomination.

I just read your original post when you scored 322 frankies over a year ago. That is the most incredible thing I have heard of! Congrats on that and finishing your set. I just did the math, you scored $4.5k in silver for $161 dollars. Truely amazing! I don't think I would have slept for weeks.

Received some good advice from a CoinTalk member and went to another bank "off the beaten path" in my area. Unfortunately, same result. 8 rolls of dimes with lots of 1965+, but no silver.

 

More Advice:
You may get lucky but remember it's volume that will land you the silver. I made an earlier post, I'm pulling 1.67 silver Roosie from $250 worth. I also have searched around $1500 with only one Roosie (very frustrating). Then you get rewarded with 7 or so in $400 searched. You'll have to take the bad with the good.

Thanks for the feedback @Hellofthenorth. I'm going to stick with it. To get to this particular bank is ~ 2 mi and I have to walk it .... so I may be able to lug 10 - 12 rolls at a time. Don't think I can manage a box.

 

You'd be surprised how much you can carry in a backpack!

 

I've been doing 2 boxes of H's in a backpack, and a box of D's in a canvas bag for several weeks now. I do take the trolly, but I have to walk to and from the stops. :dismay:

 

I may stick with 8 rolls at the furthest bank and pick up extra rolls as I make it closer to home
SorterX, out of curiosity, any idea how much a box of H's weigh??

 

Excluding the boxes and wrappers (negligible weight):

Box of P's = 14.56 lbs/6.63 kilos (based on 25% Cu P's)
Box of N's = 22 lbs/10 kilos
Box of D's = 12.47 lbs/5.67 kilos
Box of Q's/H's = 24.95 lbs/11.34 kilos

 

Wow ... that's some good heft. I may start counting my coin roll hunt as part of my workout regime!

 

Man..that is heavey

 

I always comment to the cute young, lady tellers during my regular pick up (62.37 lbs) about getting their work out for the week. :yes:

 

I searched through $100 in nickels today and found:

*One War nickel, a 1942-S.
*29 early Jeffersons (oldest was 1940).
*Four Canadian and an East Caribbean States two-cent piece.

I'll probably go back to a box on my next nickel hunt; I've had more luck with War nickels and Buffaloes in boxes compared to a mix of CWR's from different banks.

 

I did yet another box of dimes. Today I found a '64, '63, '61, and '48. So for this week I've been averaging, now, 2.67 silvers per box.

 

Picked up one roll of CWR halves and pulled 7 40%ers.:thumb:

 

I'd say that's pretty close to my average. I do about 5k per week with dimes and average around 1.75 per box. I do more bags and they run about the same. I will be honest, there is a supplier that i get one silver dime every 5 boxes. Needless to say they are my dump banks now.

 

How do you have the time to do 20 boxes a week? I'm lucking if I can manage to do 5 and I don't even work.

 

I usually do about 3-4 bags and the rest boxes. I work nights as well.

 

Ugh, two contaminated boxes. Dimes still gave up a '64, but the nicks were dry.

 

Merc my bank has 6 boxes of nickels they want to unload on me, im tempted to take them up on that deal
I got 3 boxes of halves sitting in my trunk and two more boxes of dimes cant wait to go through them, hope to end my dry streak this week om rolls. Skunked on $310 in CWR halves this morning
