[QUOTE="-jeffB, post: 3020592, member: 27832"]Just as a reality check, there's an entire sub-forum here dedicated to Coin Roll Hunting -- getting change from banks (or wherever) and searching for valuable coins. Some people there search through hundreds of [I]thousands[/I] of dollars worth of change, and "finds" are few and far between. In terms of money gained over time spent, it pays a [I]lot[/I] less than minimum wage. If you don't enjoy the hunt for its own sake, it's probably a terrible use of your time. On the other hand, "getting rid of that nagging feeling that you're missing out" also counts for something. Myself, I check [I]every[/I] coin I receive for the obvious things -- obsolete designs (wheat or Indian cents, Buffalo nickels, etc.), because that's easy, and silver, because that's easy [I]and[/I] lucrative. I don't do much checking for varieties or subtle errors. Welcome to CoinTalk![/QUOTE]
