    When searching rolls what do y'all look for? Is it just wheats and silver or do you get detailed looking for RPMs and other stuff? How much time do you spend on a box? Also what have you found like broadstruck,clips,DD,etc.? I would like to see pictures of actual finds or maybe get some post of what you look for in each denomination.
    Thanks Kent

    There's plenty to look for in a $25 bank box or $50 face bag of wheat cents. I work on both regularly, it's not out of the question for me to spend 3-4 hours going through $25 worth of material. If you wanted to get a good idea of what some searchers find in these boxes, there is a dedicated thread geared toward roll searching finds.

    i just search cents an nickels and can take anywhere from a week to a month to search 1 box, i'm in no hurry so i'll do a few rolls a day, i inspect each coin at about 30x mag. under my microscope looking for any varieties or errors, as kook stated the roll searchers thread is best place to see what everyone saves...
