<p>[QUOTE="The_Cave_Troll, post: 69442, member: 1674"]searching halves is all about averages. Some people get lucky in the short run (Wheat for example) but for every four rolls like Wheat had there are untold hundreds of boxes that will yield nothing. I have found my average to be about 1 silver coin per 5 rolls. If you are ahead or behind that number, don't worry, it will average out in the end if you sort enough coins. Just keep ordering boxes whenever you can, the coins will come.</p><p><br /></p><p>Keep going to new banks, too. I have always had those great finds when going to new banks and asking for what they have on hand. People bring coins into banks and they end up with a few rolls that regularly have silver in them, so that makes it worthwhile to keep going back to different banks all the time.</p><p><br /></p><p>Have fun, the joy is in the search. You will NOT make a lot of money doing it, but it is fun anyway. If you are doing it for the money, stop now, you would make MUCH MORE money by getting a job; it is just too time consuming to make it worth your time if you are in it for the money only.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
