<p>[QUOTE="MalakingAso, post: 1344171, member: 33557"]Thanks! I believe I did well too. Just for kicks I asked a coin shop what they would offer me for the Franklin's and they said at least $15 per coin and more for the BU ones. I got into silver / gold as a hedge but am finding I get far more enjoyment when I determine what I like and buy the best conditioned coins possible. This may sound odd but the hardest coins for me to find in good condition are Mercury's. I can find a few here and there but nothing in large quantaties, like several rolls. </p><p><br /></p><p>Compared to others I am maybe average at the whole coin roll hunting. The only reason I consistently get results is I consistently search regardless of how many skunks I may experience. I am pretty consistently searching 8 to 10 half boxes and 2 to 4 dime boxes per week. I do it more as a hobby and a thrill of the hunt, as I know the time and money spent picking up and dumping coins adds up quickly. Plus my kids get in to it as well and they like finding silver in old coins.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
