<p>[QUOTE=&quot;ranchhand, post: 66961, member: 2622&quot;]It all really depends on what you are collecting.</p><p>for one thing your not really going to find BU rolls of older coins at the bank...</p><p><br /></p><p>If you are only collecting BU coins you will be in for an impossible task finding older dates from rolls you find at the bank.</p><p><br /></p><p>If you are collecting circulated coins you will have a much better go of it. The best advice i can give for roll searching is to purchase as many rolls as you can.</p><p><br /></p><p>When i go to the bank for nickels ( I mainly search nickel rolls as i have already assembled a complete clad collection of dimes from roll searching ) I purchase about $200.00 in rolls of nickels, out of that group of nickels about 30% are from the sixties or earlier, I feel very lucky if i find 50 nickels form the forties or thirties ( thats out of 4,000 nickels )</p><p><br /></p><p>Sometimes i go through ten rolls before i find a single nickel that i need for my collection <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie2" alt=";)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>for war nickels ( silver ) i was so happy to find ONE silver nickel, and i have searched about $1000.00 worth of nickels!</p><p><br /></p><p>Its kind of like the lottery <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie2" alt=";)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>so the real trick is patience. and lots of it. also realize that you can search through thousands and thousands of dollars worth of nickels and still not find a 1950-D nickel.</p><p><br /></p><p>hope this helps... remember.. patience <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
