I'm no longer an active roll hunter.
I chose nickels because I can get through them faster and there is a better chance of finding something older than me.

It is possible to complete a Jefferson set by CRH. And, there is some silver!

Practically a tie between cents and nickels. I try to alternate between the two when I hunt. I voted nickels by a hair just because I tend to pull out more from the 40s and 50s in nickels than I do in cents.

Well coming up on 24 hours of this poll, looks like nickels have taken the lead.  I really thought since half dollar coin roll hunting is always at the top of the coin roll hunting forum, I thought half dollars or bust would take the win...  Maybe they are too busy hunting for silver to be bothered with the poll? LOL!  |

I voted cents. I feel that nickels get repetitve after a bit and the variaties you find with cents are more attractive, plentiful, and valuable. For example, I assembled a BU set of Jefferson nickels for the sale price of just 1 LMC variaty. |

I like both nickels and cents myself but edge slightly towards nickels because I have the best luck there, there's always something interesting in both but as was said there's something about actually being able to complete a set from circulation that's appealing about it.
Personally I hunt them all when I hunt and some half dollars and dollar coins when I can get them (not often). My collection might be all from circulation, but it's all been at face value so there's that I guess, even if it don't go up, it can't really go down either. Lol

i would prefer cents, but I voted for nickels. heres why. I search one box of cents and one box of nickels per week, and my bank so far has typically always had good nickel boxes (a few gem 38's and 39's, and even one buffalo so far). On the other hand, the last 4 (or five, ive lost count) cent boxes ive picked up at the same time along with the nickels have been solid 2018-D rolls. I dont even bother searching them. I just search my nickels and go back the next week.

I found so many 1938-59 nickels between 2010 and 2014, that I had to dump 90% of them. I found many dumped collections in rolls.
I see no point in keeping the '46-59. except for metal value.

My opinions on all of the boxes: Pennies - cheapest to search through, could find wheats, BUs, or varieties and errors (I have searched these a lot) Nickels - 30s-50s are more abundant than in cent boxes, could find silver or old nickels (buffalos and 30s-50s Jeffs) (I have searched these a couple times) Dimes - only thing to find is silver (I have yet to search these) Quarters - could find silver, ATB Quarters (and W mints), or BU Statehood Quarters (I have searched a few rolls of these, but not very recently) Personally, I would choose nickels or pennies since that is all I can afford, but you do you |

A box of cents are the best for me. Also, the cheapest and most affordable to get, since I don't have a lot of money. The results are usually pretty promising. I find a lot of minor Doubled Die varieties, some major die varieties, some error coins, Wheat Cents and Canadian Cents.
