Tdday was my first time I have went coin roll hunting. I opened an account at a local credit union solely because they told me they had rolls of halves. They said they had $430 worth of rolled halves. I started by buying $100 worth. All of the rolls were rolled in Brinks wrapping. I was thinking I would be skunked since it was Brinks due to some other threads on this forum. However, I ended up with 199 clad and one 1964 silver Kennedy. Is this normal? Are there labels of bank rolled wrapping that you prefer to see or are they all Brinks?
I don't know if any one type of bank roll is any better than another. I, personally, prefer customer wrapped rolls. I've found more in those than in bank wrapped rolls. Just a tip, when re-rolling after searching, mark the roll somehow so that you won't accidentally search a roll a second time. I always mark mine with "NO SILVER". It saves me from buying and searching the same roll twice and it might help keep other roll searchers from wasting time, too.
I deal in pennies and nickels because I'm not wealthy but really enjoy the thrill of finding a good date (found a 1909 VDB once, nearly fell out of my chair). At least in smaller denominations, bank- (machine-) sealed have way more wheat than customer-sealed. That might be because a wheat reverse is pretty obvious to most people, but that's my experience.
Never pass up on those unmarked customer wrapped rolls. Stuff happens occasionally: This was from $360 worth of halves I bought at one of my credit unions in March 2011. There were 70 40%m, 9 90% and ten proofs.
