<p>[QUOTE="Tallpaul000, post: 168838, member: 204"]Reading the roll searching thread sparked my interest this year, so I began getting $100 worth of halves a month starting this june. I dont keep records, but my low was 1 on silver clad, high was 9. The silver is nice, but what really impressed me was how many AU/BU coins I find, for all years. I have roll containers for all years, and filling them up rapidly. I also found 2 proof coins so far, in AU/BU condition, with most passing for BU, markless w/o rub. I must say, its another way to get a treasure hunting fix, other than metal detecting or getting a good buy at an auction.</p><p><br /></p><p>I have a side story about an estate auction I went to recently. When the rolls came up, there was so many, nobody had the time to look through them all, so some blind bidding went on. I had won a bid for choice pick out of three JFK rolls, and luck for me, one was all 65 SMS in BU, got it for $30. My friend bid $80 on a roll of common date silver quarters, turned out to be a BU roll of 40-D's, that roll goes for about $2K, boy was he happy.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
