    But if anything it was minor. So no need to pay anybody to give attribution on it, we already know it. :D

    Save your money, slab it yourself, save it for show-n-tell, and move on to your next project. Good luck

    Yes, I enjoy these for the fun of finding them, not for their monetary value. I think anyone coin roll hunting for profit would be better served spending that time working. I think if I make minimum wage off an hour of coin roll hunting, it means I had an incredible box.

    I can't argue with that. for the time spent I think there's better uses of the time for financial gain than error and variety hunting in circulation rolls also. I still do it though, I just can't bring myself to hunt for things that aren't clearly obvious to the eye and require an encyclopedia and a microscope to figure out, personal choice though, it's also what turns me off about VAM collecting and those are a bit larger than a cent. LOL. it's just not that much fun to me the detail studying and comparing, but finding a 1998 or 2000 WAM, or a cud or struck through grease is fun to me or finding silver in dimes, quarters, or halfs or W mintmark quarters.

    coin roll hunting is profitable though, just not enough profit to make the effort and time worth it for more than a hobby and self satisfaction. some folks will say they are profitable at it, hunting and selling full time, but I have my doubts based on my finds doing it. It's like gamblers or fishermen talking about the big scores and great days, but never mentioning all the strike outs.

    As my father used to say "don't quit yer day job!". LOL

    Yeah, totally agree. I have had a few big scores (best being a huge silver proof dump that probably totaled a couple thousand dollars), but generally speaking it's just a fun way to put together a coin collection for free that has more sentimental value than one you would assemble through purchases since they're all your own finds. It's a fun hobby that actually nets you a small profit, but I think trying to optimize the money-making part of it is missing the point. Like you said, use it to collect what you like. For me, these minor varieties are fascinating, but to others they are understandably pretty esoteric.

    Ironically, the most boring time I've ever had coin roll hunting was my giant silver proof score, since it was just a monotonous parade of separating hundreds of clad and silver proofs from about $1000 of mixed BU business strike state quarters.

    When all is said and done, it's still just a lousy Zincoln.

    Wow. If I critiqued somebody's coin like that, those would be fighting words. I'd be ridden out on a rail.

    You're getting like me, I think. Be careful...

    All I can say is some times the truth hurts.

    It’s like collecting filled in D mints.
