What's best to coin roll hunt through?

eliminating half dollars. What would be best out of pennies, nickels, dimes and quarters. Usually I do a 25$ box of pennies or a 100$ box of nickels, but what would be the use of searching quarters or dimes? What's the possibility of getting something silver? So what's best to look through (luck wise).


Thanks,

I have all ways had the best luck searching Pennies. Nickels, Quarters and Dimes from pocket change. except a heavy counter clash Dime. Silver in Denver is hard to find.

 

I have usually have good luck with hunting dimes for silver 1-2 in $250 worth.

 

I've found some silver in dimes and quarters, but find that quarters have some very hard to find types such as 1969-d with proof type reverses.

 

I did not think you would find to much silver anymore out of coin roll hunting dimes or quarters. A lot of people know what they are. I'd almost consider two silver dimes out of a 250$ box of dimes very lucky. That's 1/125

 

There are so many people searching rolls & boxes these days that it won't be long before EVERY SINGLE BANK in the country will be placing a surcharge on every order. Where these people "dump" the discards is immaterial. What comes around, goes around.

If Coin Star is a stock corporation, maybe I should buy some of their shares because that will likely be the only place left to dump coins.

I have the best luck searching nickel boxes. I pull anything pre-1960. I can get between 25-30 per box. Much more rewarding than other denominations to me.

 

You do have a good point cpm9ball. I like to just open the tops of the machine rolled one without ripping it, push them out with a pencil, look through them, put them back in the roll and close the top.

 

Agilmore01 I only keep the 1942-1945 war nickels and the buffalo nickels. Last time I hunted nickels I got two buffalo nickels.

 

When I go that route, I may only get 1-2 per box. I lose interest then. I am a nickel lover. There are so many varieties during 1938-1959 that I get them all and search for the varieties when I get a chance.

 

well it all depends why you are searching rolls ? for varieties cents and nickels. silver... dimes and halves.

 

It doesn't matter whether you re-roll them or not. Do you think most banks will take your word for it? How many times have you found a Canadian cent or nickel in a roll? What about buttons?! The banks will still have to pay to have them ripped open, counted and rolled again.

Oh

 

One or two silver dimes a box, they are the quickest coins to search in my experience. It takes me takes me around a half an hour a box, if not sometimes less.


That is the method I do, I have done a total of around $40,000 in dimes over a course of around two years and nobody has complained. They told me that they just put the dimes into bags and send them back to the rolling company anyway so I should not take much time re-rolling them.

 

I did loose interest because my grandma sias I remember when I'd get change in the 30s and it would be Mercury dimes and buffalo nickels.

 

my banks do not take rolled coin anymore, they tell customers to unroll them and dump the coins in the machine...

 

You know how weird that sounds my bank said the total opposite.

 

i guess they trust the machine more than the customers....

 

At your bank maybe.

 

I got six dollars the other day, from the bank. I looked over and saw an old coin roll. I am excited about the other 5.50!
