<p>[QUOTE="steve63, post: 2580265, member: 76463"]Unfortunately there is really no strategy for finding valuable old coins from circulation. Some unsearched rolls may exist out there somewhere, but if they exist they are in the possession of someone who has no clue they could be worth anything. If someone is selling an "unsearched" roll on Ebay, you can be quite sure it has been searched since that person is seeking to make a profit, so obviously they have first searched the roll to make sure there is no coin of value in it that would yield them a greater profit than selling the roll. </p><p><br /></p><p>If you are trying to find valuable old coins from circulation, there is no shortcut to the tedious process of searching unsearched rolls that you get from the bank, 99.99% of which contain no coins above face value. It's all just luck. Someone who knows nothing about coins unwittingly reintroduces a valuable coin into circulation and you are the lucky one who finds it first.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
