I picked up $100 in penny and nickel rolls and found nothing special. A couple nickels to fill in my collection slots and about 8 wheaties, all common dates, 2 s mints. All filled in some slots also! I still have a $25.00 Brinks box to go through and picking up more at another bank today, fingers crossed!!
It takes a lot of patience and persistence to coin roll hunt. On average, I go through about $100 of rolled coins per week, finding about one wheat cent per four rolls, one war nickel every four to five months and one silver dime per month, no silver quarters in rolls at all. Every once in a while, I come across an error coin, proof coin or something worth a small premium. A few weeks ago, I found 30 wheaties in one roll, all common dates, some heavily worn. Being ADD, I can stay on task for about $40.00-$50.00 of rolled coins at a time and also not frustrate bank tellers by asking for and returning large quantities of rolled coins repetitively at various banks, which I rotate . This is a relaxed approach and I do it for fun. Maybe, over time, I'll find a few low mintage dates in great condition that will bring a nice premium. This is a nice retirement hobby as long as the eyes are good enough to see the dates and evaluate the condition of the coins. This is not an immediate gratification sort of thing, not a good hobby for one who is impatient.
good points i am a crh also and it does take patience i have a youtube channel if you want to checkout some of my searches.....http://www.youtube.com/user/coinsrus1000?feature=mhee
In the last year I've found about a dozen nickles in the 1930's and three dozen in the 1940's which include five war nickels,one of which I found today in a CWR,and several dozen 1950's, all common dates.
