<p>[QUOTE=&quot;eddiespin, post: 329488, member: 4920&quot;]Fantastic! You bet I will. Ever think this is like playing the slot machines except you can&#039;t lose? That&#039;s why this is one addiction I don&#039;t mind having. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>Look, as long as we&#039;re all into searching different denominations, I wonder if we could set some rough expectations, based on our experiences. I&#039;ll start. I used to search pennies pretty heavily a year or so ago. Expect a Wheat every 6 rolls. Now don&#039;t look at me if you get skunked in the first 20. In the next 20 you&#039;ll find 6 or more. Expect some Canadians, some clad, and some foreign coins, too, as you go along and get up there in volume searched. Forget about Indians. Or, rather, I heard of roll searchers finding them. But from my experience, at least, your chances are better finding one on the sidewalk.</p><p><br /></p><p>OK, now you guys. How many rolls of nickels do I have to search before I can expect to see a Buffalo? How many rolls of dimes before I can expect to see a Mercury? How many rolls of dimes, quarters, halves before I can expect to see silver? How many rolls of halves before I can expect a Liberty? These are just examples, and maybe they&#039;re not realistic. But you, the roll-searcher in the respective denominations, you tell us what our expectations should be. Roughly, I&#039;m saying. If possible. This isn&#039;t a test and you aren&#039;t going to flunk out of CoinTalk if you get it wrong. But given the volumes-searched we&#039;re seeing around here some of you must have realistic expectations, and I&#039;m just saying share them, spill it, get them out, and you&#039;ll feel a whole lot better when you do (and so might some of us who may be lacking your experience). <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
