<p>[QUOTE="coinman1234, post: 2012594, member: 51208"]I coin roll hunt completely for fun, when I get home and have nothing to do. If I were trying to make money coin roll hunting, I would probably not afford the computer to write this post lol. Also, I have never sold any of the coins I have found, they just go in my collection, and every Saturday I buy a Mint State Morgan dollar at my local coin shop.</p><p><br /></p><p>Same thing with metal detecting, which I do, you might go out a lot for months at a time and never find anything, but the reason why I do it is for fun, it's a relaxing and fun hobby that sometimes has great excitement. I love historical items the best, the reason I go to colonial locations, but even though some old artifact from 300 years ago might be in bad shape, or worthless, to me it is still amazing. This year I have found a 1655-1658 Louis XIV Liard, a 1723 Wood's Hibernia Half Penny, two toasted colonial coppers, (one is a King George II young head from 1727-1740, and the other one which I found this weekend, is most likely a King George copper, but it's hard to tell) some large cents, and a key date New Brunswick Half Cent with only 5,000 known to exist. Plus countless colonial relics, such as 20 colonial buttons, 5 shoe buckles, and other various relics. If I did it for money I would have lost money, for I would need to find something great to pay for my metal detector, and everything great goes in a display case, or a coin holder.</p><p><br /></p><p>Here is my favorite large cent:</p><p>[ATTACH=full]362832[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
