This is a huge reason why the dollar won't take off (amongst all the others previously cited by others). I just went through "$1,000" in dollar coins and this is what I pulled out of the bag. Essentially, it cost me $20 (minus $2.55 for the quarters and nickels) for a 2003D Sacagawea, 2 Euro coin, and a canadian dollar. The 2 Euro is worth about $3.10 and the canadian dollar is sort of a wash, but everything else is worthless. Can you imagine being the retailer who goes all gung ho for the dollar coins and you open up a roll with that SAK tag or a guitar pick. At the mint, it costs $36 plus shipping to get a full roll of 2008 Sac's. That used to sound expensive, but now it seems like a hot deal compared to what it cost me for a circulated 2003D. Heck, even Littleton seems like a hot deal compared to mine. well, at least I enjoyed searching the bag, otherwise I would be upset.
a safe-ty pin, guitar pick and a KEY ... for crying out loud. . whats next that folks will throw in a roll of coins... MONEY???
Well, you can't say there wasn't an interesting variety. That safety pin could be the rare 1853S DDO! Guy~
That's the second safety pin I've found from CRHing. My first one came out of a roll of dimes last year. I've lost track of the number of guitar picks I've received, but I usually get them with the halves (I guess this one was more valuable).
What's up with the guitar picks??? I found one in a roll of halves about 3 years ago, and you are the 4th or 5th person I've read about finding one. Guess I don't see the connection between rolls of coins and guitars (insert joke here).
how was the key able to fit!? and you know, this looks more like a metal detector find than a roll find! lol
the bank I use want accept rolled coins , they dump them in counter, and hand back the foriegn I try to stiff them with. bet they keep/exchange the .90% US silver coins when the machine kicks those out.
Keys usually end up in the half dollar bag. Some banks cheap counters with no "reject" function other than a magnet in the hopper and the teller's eyesight. Whatever goes in, ends up in one of the six bags. This is good for silver coins, bad for keys, safety pins, guitar picks, chuck-e-cheese tokens, old style 2 pence coins, Irish Punts, etc....
It will cost you a roll of money when you get into guitars. I don't own as many as some people.....but it has cost me a roll already. I own 3....1-6 stringer, and 2-12 stringers. I've gotten good prices on all of them so far....the last one I got at a steal...under $200. Speedy
