Message:: [QUOTE="softmentor, post: 1698285, member: 10469"]hi and welcome to the fun of CRH coin roll hunting.Halves - you can find coins that were originally issued in uncirculated sets or proof sets. Anything after 2001 (2002 or later) would have to be Unc or proof originally, even if it now has some marks from being circulated. The last box of halves I did I found 14 2002 or later. That is a little higher than usual but I usually find some. Also anything with a "s" mint mark. and there are 90% and 40% silver.There are similar finds to be had with dimes. Personally I look for 2009 and silver with dimes, that's about it. But there are more to be found.I strongly recomend getting a "Red Book" since this will tell you what year/mint marks are only proof issue, as well as how many coins were minted each year (very low mintage usually equals higher value, along with condition) it is a wealth of information and a "general" price guide.There are also books about error coins, of which "Cherry Pickers" is the most widely know. If you like detail, there are some valuable gems to be "Picked"  Really it all amounts to what you like. If YOU think it's interesting, then you will enjoy hunting for it.[/QUOTE]
