<p>[QUOTE="Insider, post: 8211044, member: 24314"]Aside from any rare variety (good luck they are out there, somewhere in a jar), the coins that CRH find, while very interesting/educational, are usual worth less than a dollar. Now, let's pretend they are worth $10 each. You would suppose you could sell 10 of them ($100) for at least $50 and since they cost you only 1c, soon you would be rolling in money. Unfortunately, the folks who would pay $10 for one of those coins are not interested because they are looking to find them for 1c also. It's a big wheel with all the CRH searching the same rolls and selling them as unsearched or trading them at the bank for more "new" stuff to search that has already been searched 95% of the time. Thank goodness CRH is fun. I do it myself about 20 min a week with cents my dad saved. At this rate, I should have finished looking through them in another six years. I do have a few coins with die breaks, cracks, clash marks, and tiny strike thru's for my trouble. I'd guess I've spent perhaps 60 hours over the years CRH and I really haven't turned a profit. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie8" alt=":D" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
