Roll searchers.....is it worth it?

Roll searching days are done it died off years ago your getting slim silver pickings

I started out with Lincoln Memorials because I like them and they are very affordable. If you do find a DDO or DDR you will be hooked for sure.
Iwas very fortunate and found:

Six 1998 Wide A M 's
Eleven 2000 Wide a m'S
Two 1999 Wide A M's( One is a MS65, Red)
One 1994 165* CCW Rotated Die( MS61)

All this in about two years. I have fun filling Whitman and Harris
folders for wheat cents as well as LMC's in AU or BU condition.
So have fun. Don't forget coins are recyclable.

i found a 2010-P dime in my washing machine

 

Congrats! Now that coin has definitely been cleaned. :goofer: TC

 

Wonder if it would come back as improperly cleaned from a TPGS...

 

I look at it like this

Search through rolls is a hobby, its something you do to kill time, relax, and hope one day youll find a real beauty.

expect to get rich? never! but have fun doing something that you can pass on down to your children (my children are 4 and 2 and they sit here with a new roll everytime im ready to open it up, they are excited and know that one day we will start a collection for them, when they can read the dates correctly)

 

Don't expect to get rich, but it won't cost you anything either

A number of us have made thousands of dollars (literally) roll searching, but I think that is the exception.

Good luck.

 

"Worth It?"

"Worth It?"
Like fishing, it is only "Worth It" if you enjoy it.

Plus~it's lower cost (You can still Spend what you choose to throw back)

Can give your eyes/hands/mind something to focus on.
Can be done rain or shine. (Though some choose to fish in the rain, too.)
