[QUOTE="Mad Stax, post: 2791565, member: 79993"]Welcome to CT Tyler! As Chris stated, becoming familiar with the minting process is essential knowledge if looking for errors. If I were you I would stay away from quarters entirely, as they circulate frequently and you will rarely ever find silver in a roll. Dimes don't seem to produce much either but are better than quarters in the silver department. If silver is mainly what you're looking for I'd pony up for Half rolls, if you're doing it just for the sake of finding cool coins and building up a collection cents, nickels, and/or halves would probably be your best bet. And I wouldn't consider it to be like the lottery, sure... maybe in that you get that same rush when you find a nice coin, but unlike the lottery if you don't win CRHing you can just return your losses and recoup your money. I haven't roll searched in a solid half a year or so, but may dabble in it again at some point, it provided a solid starting point for my cent and nickel collections, and I once even got lucky with dimes and found a full roll of silver [ATTACH=full]648541[/ATTACH] Absorb all the knowledge you can and give it a try, if it's not for you all that's been lost is a little bit of your time. Happy hunting![/QUOTE]
