<p>[QUOTE="BigTee44, post: 1578152, member: 41883"]When I roll search I still pull out the shinny red ones. I look for very little to no marks and nice eye appeal on the coins when I pull them. I don't pull out too many from 2000-date(exception of any 2009) but love finding old 60's 70s and 80s still BU red. It might take quite a few $25 boxes, but it's very possible to complete your set from probably 1954-date. I go through about 2 penny boxes a week and you'll pull about 5-9 wheats a box. It's still very easy to find nice examples still in circulation. Happy hunting!</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>If you live near a casino and they still use coins as opposed to paper tickets, this is a great place to get coins! Maybe not so much for Lincoln cents, but I'm telling you. The little old ladies must have coins stashed away from the 50s. Cocktail waitress at one of them said she had gotten a 1912 V Nickel, it was worn, but still. Hanging out in Grandma's purse! The one around me use to give out half dollars, and I'll be dammed if that wasn't where I've seen entire rolls of silver rolls put into poker trays(this casino has since stopped giving out half dollars, and replaced them with a chip). But if you do have a casino with actual coins being played, it might be worth dropping in $10 and hitting cash out, never know whats been hiding out in Grandma's purse! :devil:[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
