And now you're hooked........  Welcome to the club. Hang onto the Canadian cents and see how much of a set you can put together, that'll also help keep it interesting. I keep every Lincoln I get and have completed a full set of LMC's from circulation in Canada, and get about 2-5 wheats in every box as well. No Indians up here (yet.) As soon as my 20x and 30x loupes arrive, I'll start looking for varieties before I repatriate the rest when I go to PA for Christmas. |

Roll Hunting can be very addicting. I seem to find about 1 wheat per 6 rolls. I seem to have good banks they never question when I ask for bulk coins. I have one bank that will actually order extra boxes at my request. I make sure and dump at a bank I don't get any coins from as they have a machine that counts and bags coins. I do lots of roll hunting while not busy at work and the banks are open.

Wow, hunting at work. That would be awesome. That wouldn't go over too well here, though. All the change rattling around on the desk would be a nightmare in my quiet office.

Also, using the free coin counting machine at my bank is nice. I couldn't imagine re-rolling all those coins.
My hands get so dirty hunting, though. I have to wash them constantly. I'm thinking of getting a box of surgical gloves.
Anyone do this, or am I crazy?

No access to a coin counter, so I have to re-roll, but that's OK, just part of it

I use surgical gloves when I'm roll hunting. I buy them at a beauty supply store. It's like 10 or 15 bucks for 100 pairs.

Now that your hooked start looking for errors. You'd be surprised at what you find in circulation these days.

I get that ALL the time, they act like I'm asking them to jump off the Brooklyn Bridge. Talk about annoying... Yea. What the heck is that all about? They drilled me when I asked for some boxes of Kennedys. It was like an FBI interrogation. I almost said "forget it". But, they finally ordered them for me. Then they asked what they were for. I almost told her I was going to toss them in the ocean. What do they care! swcoin.ecrater.com

I did my first roll hunting today. I asked for all the nickels they had ($82) and $100 in halves. The teller had to count them by hand because they were loose. She had no problem with it...just put them all in a bank bag and sent me on my way.
