Roll flippen! Quarters? Half’s? Dimes? Nickels? Or Cents?

Well I just went through a couple hundred dollars worth of quarters and found nothing.. did $50 dollars worth of Lincoln’s and found even less! Is anyone winning? Lol! I may try dimes next. Thoughts

Last year I tried my luck with 60lbs of pennies I had and I was....



N O T !!

 

LOL! Well the only thing lost was some time.

 

It was also the awakening that I needed better glasses.

 

Last year I bought a bag of 5000 nickels from a local coin dealer and found a 1944 Henning nickel!

 

I find if I keep one eye open and one eye closed, my 50/50 vision is only reduced by 50%!

 

Jersey, can’t trust those guys from Jersey! Always trying to slip you a bad nickel! Lol

 

Who picks up your garbage?

 

My wife! But I always say thank you!

 

" Happy Wife, Happy Life"!

 

You got that right friend! And I pay her a lot more then minimum wage!

 

I've been going through a lot of boxes of cents recently. If I find something older, say from the 60s or 70s with most of their luster, I keep them. Otherwise, I put away any die chips or cracks. The Memorials are riddled with cracks on the reverse. I just put them in tubes depending on where the crack is. To me, they're fun to keep and they only cost me 1¢ each and the tubes don't take up much space.

 

I agree. Some days the hunt gives us way more then we invest.

 

What are you looking for ? Silver and wheats ...
Everyone is different but I like to look for varieties & die rotations. That's where higher value coins hide in plain sight. Examples I've found is 1984 Double Ear Lincoln, 1999 wide AM Lincoln and 1988 RDV-006 Lincoln.
Variety hunting is tough for some but if one memorizes what to look for - it's easy.

Snowman, with quarters I’m looking errors, with Lincoln I’m looking for errors and varieties. There’s just so much to look for and things to remember while flipping through rolls.. I just got into the coin searching thing about a year ago and some days it’s fun while other days it’s work. I don’t need a job! Lol

 

Nickels and cents for me. There’s all kinds of good nickels left. Mostly varieties

 

Brilliant. Always open to new ideas

 

I enjoy nickels and found some keepers. Lincoln cents are ok but I find myself drifting off when flipping through them. When it happens, my vision improves!

 

I've found some amazing chips and cracks on pennies, nickels, and quarters. Recently I've found a couple amazing cracks on the reverses of eagle quarters and a nice chip on one. I'm thinking a lot of hunters just disregard them but I like them.

 

I'm in the process of memorizing where die chips on the reverses of the National Park quarters tend to be on each design. It's fun to find them even though there's no added value.
