Roll Hunting And Wikipedia

This.

Their link says View History, but the page title is Coin roll hunting: Revision history.

I just noticed that my link does not work, since CCF opens it in a frame.


You can still see the two names to which I am referring.

Actually that definition of a coin roll hunter is very true. I doubt that someone wrote it jokingly. I think that most of the people that do it are just pathetic. I have to laugh on here when I read that these people searched $250 in coins and was happy to find one or two silver coina. The gas money and the time wasted that was spent getting and searching for that one or two silver coins (instead of getting a real job) always has cost them more then the coin is worth.

Especially when I read that they waste even more expensive gas driving around to different banks returning the used rolls.

"I think that most of the people that do it are just pathetic. "

Great way to make friends.

This is a coin forum, for people who collect coins and stamps. You seem to be extremely arrogant.
The way I see it, your pursuit of coins is just as pathetic is ours.
You must be lazy and have others find and package the coins for you. That premium you pay buys more gas then I will waste in years roll hunting.

That is sad that you will never know what it feels like to make your own discoveries.

It does not matter how much they search, because the initial investment is returned minus a few coins. Sounds like cheap fun to me.

We spend on gas, you spend on profit in a store. Good for you, I am proud.

You can't "waste" time on a hobby.

There are many types of people, they are not all looking for silver, you sound ignorant.
The thing about success and money, those with the most generally brag the least.

I personally always find something worth more then face value and collectable. Always.

Want to hear really pathetic?, I like finding old copper coins with a metal detector. My favorite coins are verdisgreen, red and blue.

Find your own fun, you worry to much about what others think.

Clearly you need a job to survive, as you don't posses the mental fortitude it takes to earn a living on your own.
If you did you would not be putting these folks down.

For fun, sure. Coin Roll Hunting is not gambling.
It's just somewhat risky sometimes as you spend labour and gas for not anything.
When I talk about addiction, this is what I mean:
If you do roll hunting very frequently, and now I tell you not to do it anymore, would you fell very boring during your weekend?
On the other side (for example), if you tell yourself to control your hunting amount of one box of halves (you have two in your house), and you have time, and you don't find anything in the box, would it be true that you would keep on telling yourself to hunt the second, even after trying to control yourelf?

You are not alone, Indian1... I collect coins, I roll search, and I detect. I have noticed that being smartly dressed when picking up rolls makes a difference as to the teller's attitude. I like messing a little with people's heads too, like going into a coin shop for the first time dressed scruffily, then dropping a few hundred on a nice certified coin! Priceless to see the range of expressions and emotions from the time you walk in until you leave! And I've pulled a similar stunt to the one you describe when going detecting, except my watch of choice is a Breitling and I drive a BMW, hehehe...

To everyone,
Have fun. I think there's nothing else I should say except for the apologize upon my previous biased comments.

Well said, rgathright!

i guess that makes us all pathetic hahaha oh right except for the person that called us pathetic

its about the thrill of finding something for your collection at face value (nothing else is a deciding factor) are you going to stop going to the grocery because of gas? to all of the great people on here myself included, we love to coin roll search, gets us going, you my friend will never understand the passion
