About how many rolls of pennies do you buy every week/month/year? How many error coins do you find in them every week/month/year? About how much time do you need to examine a oin to tell if it's an error coin?
It varies for me - I have bought one box, and, I have bought 15 boxes in a week. I would say that the finds are very rare. Of the roughly 15ish most recent boxes I have found one each 1998 wide AM and 2000 wide AM, no DD's, and about 8 wheats per box.
about a box a week for the last 7-8 weeks. One Wide AM 1998, a few die cracks/clashes (nothing significant), one blank planchet, one 2009 per roll on average, 8-9 wheats per box, a 1-2 canadian per box.
There are 50 rolls per box. Me and my son average 8-10 boxes per week. Errors/ varieties are rare for us.
LOL. We got through quickly. We throw a wide variety of known error dates and a couple variety date into a dime box. Once the box is full I'll go through them and look for the treasures. As far as get rid of them, I'm lazy. I take them to the coinstar and dump them in. I figure almost .09 on the dollar isn't going to break me. I just recently found a friend of my wife that said she loves to roll coins...Find out this weekend.
