What is your favorite denomination to hunt?

For me it's pennies, it's always a thrill to add to the wheat folder, and silvers slim pickings. I respect those who have that level of patience, unfortunately I do not.

Nickels. I've found a V nickel, over a dozen Buffalos, almost a roll of War Nickels, and many key dates these past 5 1/2 months. Halves are next best - found a Walker last week. Cents are third for me. Always a thrill to find wheaties!

 

I like cents personally because I always love saying "I got x number of pounds of copper from pocket change" despite it not being grade A copper. Plus there are wheat back cents! I have never coin roll hunted before though, but I have had the best luck with cents in change. =)

 

I love hunting half dollars. You have the silver you can find and the NIFCs.

 

Yup!!! They're a close second for me to me to nickels. The only reason I really like nickels better is because you can find the rare dates sometimes. I've found 2 1938-Ds and 3 1939-Ss in 5 1/2 months.

 

My coin of choice is the Dime...

 

Penny.

 

If you really want to find silver, Halves and Nickels are your best bet. I don't have the patience for Dimes or Quarters, honestly. Heck, it's discouraging even trying to find 2009 dated Dimes!

 

Please stop the personal attacks, Chris, John ... all of you. Back to the topic.

 

I love to search nickels. You are usually able to find good stuff every couple of rolls (pre 1960) vs. looking for silver.

Indeed! And sometimes you do find some silver. In 60 rolls yesterday, I found 4 War Nickels!

 

I probably have about $85 face value of pre-1960 nickels. Once I hit $100, I may try to sell them somehow, and then start over again.

 

Do you have a coin folder or album you're keeping some in? It's always fun to try and make sets out of circulation/rolls.

 

nobody likes quarters lol

 

I have 1 whole set I made out of the best I have found. After that, I keep them in tubes by dates.

I like them, but it costs so much more to get fewer coins. You are right though, maybe there is an opportunity to be had here =)

 

Said the Wheatie.

 

That's cool. What grade are your 39-D and 50-D?

 

Sadly, Coinstar seems to be a better source of quarters than CRH. For a time, two of my branches were getting quarters from a Laundromat owner. Found a couple of silvers in those.

 

I just started in my spare time. I love to get pennies from the banks. in fact, I'm heading there shortly. I usually pick up $25 a week, either in customer wrapped or bank wrapped. Whatever they may have on hand. I did get a box of brand new 2016's. Not sure if it's worth putting it on eBay or just keeping it. I think I may have to start storing them in the basement before the weight gets to be too much for the second floor, lol.
