Hi guys, I am new to coin roll hunting and I was amazed by the guys I saw on YouTube getting $100 or more worth of silvers in a box. I decided to try for myself. I went to my bank and ordered 2 boxes of halves. As of now, I have been through 75% and have found nothing! I did come across a few post 2005 AU's that I grabbed. I have heard Loomis pulls silver. Anyone else have any input/advice/experiences to share?
That weird I got 500 dollars in halves and got 4 40% silver coins... I had better luck with dimes though so maybe try those... and don't expect 100 of dollars in silver its unreasonable/impossible
Do you remember if it was from loomis or brinks? I also heard others have better luck with hand rolled coins.
Lol I missed the loomis part of the question... it was brinks im pretty sure... I think... I know it wasn't hand rolled and ive never heard loomis before so yea probably loomis. If you go to banks where a lot of older people go you might have better luck because generally they hand roll and they have old coins. just a suggestion
Don't get your hopes up. Those videos are either faked or *very* rare. Hang out here for awhile and see how many boxes have no silver at all.
Hi Ryan, welcome to CT. I'm not sure about Loomis specifically, but here are the two main things you need to look at. 1) People do still get a good box of silver from time to time, but most the best finds like you mentioned happened a few years back. With the rise in silver prices, there was also and increased number of people looking for silver coins, thus the reason for the drop off in results. 2) $1,000 or 2 boxes in halves is not a large enough amount to determine if there is silver in your area. If you look through some of the posts in the coin roll hunting post your results thread here, some members have gone through 15-20 straight boxes with no silver. The biggest thing to remember is volume. The more you search the more chance you will find some, but just don't expect to find $100 worth of silver too often. Hope this helps and best of luck to you.
those look exactly like the rolls I search. I would say 50% of boxes are skunk (No silver) and the other 50% have at least one silver. I do one box of $500 a week and after 40 boxes or so, my single best score was $189 melt value in silver halves (40% & 90%). Most of the time I am able to get silver in a box it is usually 1-3 silver halves. There are people that search over 14 boxes of halves a week so a multi hundred score would just take luck and persistence. Hope that helps!
You've got to look at the date of the video you saw, I bet it was from like 6 years ago and hance the results.
From some reading I heard Loomis pulls silvers and unfortunaely they serve the bank I have an account at. I think my next plan will be to call some banks and see if they have any hand rolled coins in.
Loomis does not search coins. They just dump all the ones they picked up into a counter and then are machine rolled. I asked our driver one day about this. There is no one who is hovering over large amounts of coins picking out the good stuff. It's all automated. Sent from my SCH-I545 using Tapatalk
I believe the big companies sort out the silver. You best bet is to visit all the banks and get their on hand collection. I average 1 silver per 10 rolls.
If the companies were sorting out the silver, then none should be found in any rolls except CWR. Sent from my SCH-I545 using Tapatalk
I only search Loomis boxes. I have searched 5 this year and had 4 skunks and 1 box had 4 40%ers. Last year I found a box with 35 40% and 8 90% then 10 skunks in a row and I quit for a while, but I think silvers still out there or I wouldn't be hunting.
I am searching dimes and usually find 1 or 2 dimes per $200 sometimes more. just expect to get some skunks (no silver). it will not happen every time searching. volume is the key to finding. my girlfriend put a rubber stamp on rolls we hand roll to take back to the banks so that we will know that those dimes rolls have been searched.
