<p>[QUOTE="John Burgess, post: 7845586, member: 105098"]All denominations are roughly the same, they all have their coins to find and any one can be productive as any other really. the exception might be with quarters in 2019-2020 and West Point Mint marks which were a sweet transition for a coin hunter to make and cash in on if they were so inclined to do so. </p><p><br /></p><p>If I were doing it to make money under normal circumstances, I wouldn't be doing it at all. you'd probably be better served cherry picking a coin shop and flipping the purchases than roll hunting in my opinion. Redbook is kind of nonsense. they put a value on everything, but a lot of the common stuff just won't sell especially moderns. </p><p><br /></p><p>That said I think, like in the case of the Ws, occasionally an opportunity arises to go whole hog on coin roll hunting a certain series. but generally speaking, my results hunting are never like the Youtubers. Sure I make a hit here or there over the course of a year, but it's never going to replace my actual job, even with the W quarters, the money wasn't enough to pay the bills, and even with dimes, quarters and halfs, silver is to few and far between and you'd probably be better served panning gold or silver, and looking in rolls of coins. meh, I'm not trying to discourage you from hunting, just telling you, it's not a career and if you did it as much as you needed to to be profitable, it's all you would be doing and nothing else with your time. So I think it's best kept as a hobby. people that actually try to do it to pay the bills are searching 16 hours a day usually a husband and wife team, and with the off 8 hours, getting more coin to search or getting rid of searched coin, and listing finds for sale and trying to sell them off.. it's a lot more than a full time job to get profitable at it.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
