<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Al Kowsky, post: 3744027, member: 97383&quot;]This morning I read an interesting article published by <b>CNBC</b> on role hunting, see link below. The article focuses on the popularity of this trend and points out that many people have made valuable finds doing this as a hobby in their spare time. I did a lot of roll hunting in the late 1950s and 1960s as a new coin collector &amp; made some great finds. I had a great advantage that most kids didn&#039;t, my Mom was a bank teller <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie7" alt=":p" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />. She would bring me as many rolls weekly as I could sort through, everything from penny to silver dollar rolls <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie59" alt=":joyful:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />. I was finding Indian head cents, Liberty V nickels, Barber coinage &amp; frequently Commemorative half dollars <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie57" alt=":jawdrop:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />! Today there aren&#039;t as many interesting finds out there <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie88" alt=":sour:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />, especially since silver coins disappeared from circulation. An important point the article didn&#039;t really stress was many banks won&#039;t let collectors keep exchanging rolls <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie3" alt=":(" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />, especially if there are long lines in the bank.</p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp; <a href="https://www.cnbc.com/2019/10/02/coin-roll-hunting-a-very-unusual-hobby-that-can-make-you-a-lot-of-money.html" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.cnbc.com/2019/10/02/coin-roll-hunting-a-very-unusual-hobby-that-can-make-you-a-lot-of-money.html" rel="nofollow">https://www.cnbc.com/2019/10/02/coin-roll-hunting-a-very-unusual-hobby-that-can-make-you-a-lot-of-money.html</a></p><p><br /></p><p><img src="https://image.cnbcfm.com/api/v1/image/106158860-1569961440951gettyoenn.jpg?v=1569961491&amp;w=1400&amp;h=950" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p>Getty Image[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
