[QUOTE="The_Cave_Troll, post: 40587, member: 1674"]As a child I got into collecting by taking my allowance (is it an allowance if you have to do chores to get it?) to the bank to get rolls of pennies. My Dad got rolls of everything else. Some of my favorite childhood memories are of sitting around on Saturday afternoons after returning from the bank and looking at coins at the dining room table with my old man. :) I remember that I was in awe when he pulled a Franklin half from a roll of half dollars! Now that I have real income and can buy more valuable coins, I still prefer to search through change an bank rolls. I've had fantastic success searching rolls of halves as of late. They just don't circulate, so the odds of someone else getting to the coins i want before i do is pretty low. So yeah, you can find good things in rolls, you just have to recognize what's good when its sitting in from of you ;) Good luck! CJD[/QUOTE]
