<p>[QUOTE="NickJersey, post: 2856976, member: 90001"]Great post. I have been searching coin rolls for several years, since I was forced into a new career. I used to find a silver coin every couple of days, but now it seems I'm lucky to find one every couple of weeks. Dimes seem more common, I'm guessing because they are harder to pick out edge checking than quarters. The most common coins I collect out of rolls now are Wheat Pennies. I can usually find 1 in a roll, sometimes 3 or 4. War Nickels are also good to look for, I'll find at least one a week. They are harder to spot because you have to look for that mint mark, most people don't know about them. Most of the good coins I get are from customers. One customer purchased cigarettes using 32 dimes, 29 Mercury,1 pre 64, 1 Canadian 64 and one clad. That was a good day. Attached is a picture of some coins I have gotten over the last couple of months, including some proofs. In the last year, the best luck I have had was what people handed me, not in rolls.[ATTACH=full]679480[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
