I only got 1 box that was all new 2014 cents. They were in the clear plastic rollers so I didn't open any of them so my lowest count would be 0. But if paper rolls, you have to open them all in case there is the elusive IHC or FEC hidden in a roll you didn't check. |

If they were machine wrapped or CWR's I'd be in it till the end as well.

I won't stop until the last roll, it's too addicting to stop.

I'very had boxes cough up some pretty significant keepers in the last 1-2 rolls... unless your box is clearly 100% new coins I would power through to the end.

I say learn how to cherry pick double dies and repunched mintmarks. You may be throwing away more than just a few coppers. Pick up a CherryPickers Guide and check it out. If this is not your thing, personally I would still pick all the copper. |

odds are the same that you'll find a good coin in the first roll or the last roll. So at best I'd say take a break if you are feeling glum and come back later. Don't abandon it.

In this game there will be highs and there certainly will be lows, when everything is said and done it all evens out  . The good thing about hitting a very low point is that there is nowhere else left to go except up  |

some days I hate it when I have a bunch of coins to cash in and dread to see a teller roll there eyes or a bank manager telling you you cant drop here unless you have a business account. dreaming at night where in the heck can I dump this stack of my rejects. but when all is cashed in and I cant get my hands on a box and the with withdrawals start. then I get a box and I get that hope that this box will be awesome to just get shot down with another skunk....ugh but when your really down in the dumps walking down the street kicking a empty soda can and the phone rings and your caller id says boa is calling you jump in the old car you drive which is the bat mobile to you. and you walk out of the bank with your head high and your chest out not further then your belly but its out, that's the feeling that makes this so worth it to me. even better you open the box and you see an ender, and score big on a box, that's happiness, ( wait is this my life, yup I guess so) any ways once you get that taste its hard to quit.. holly molly did I get carried away here,,,  if you can really quit, then you are a strong person, and best of luck to you any which direction you take  |

Take a break when it's no longer fun for you -- I've done that from time to time. In fact, I was just finishing up a box of nickels tonight and realized my box before that one was almost 9 months ago.

Last night I finished the exasperatingly bad box of pennies that I was thinking about quitting. Here's the stats: copper (all years) 344 Copper (1982) 44 Canadian (all years) 6 LWC - none 2009 (all types) 4 AU - BU: 8 Prior to this my last batch four boxes had (not counting the above box): Copper (all years) 2009 Copper (1982) 37 (correction) Canadian (all years) 37 LWC - 103 Can't speak to the 2009's nor AU/BU coins as I don't keep an accurate count on those items The box I just finished had 15% copper but I've had worse. In fact my worse batch of 4 boxes had 15% copper but it didn't have any figures for 1982 coins. So I'm going to lay off the pennies for awhile now and look into doing some halves and see how much pain those are going to give me. Hopefully I can fill the remaining holes in my Kennedy set before I get to work on the proof Jefferson set. I have 5 boxes of nickels to look through and then separate them down by years and mint mark. I'm not expecting much but am willing to work at it. Edited by ghostrider

My first box was of nickels and It was late at night before I went back to school and figured I could just call it in since I wasn't finding anything. But then realized 2 rolls will take no longer than a few minutes. Sure enough the last roll had a 1920 Buff in it! My first real CRH find. It was the best moment.
