To the people who go through thousands of cents per week, is this what you do full time? As in for a living?
& @coop can I call you Big & Rich?

And where does one find thousands of cents that they haven't already looked through each week?
I was told (I can't remember when or by whom) that getting rolls from a bank that doesn't get their rolls from members is a waste of time.......is this not true?

As you get further along you will be amazed how fast you can go through 1000 cents! I work nights myself so when I get home to peace and quiet and unwind I'm doing most of my searching with the tube on late at night-I am not a seller but I do some trading...

I bank at Wells Fargo. I have 6 branches within 5 miles of my house and 15 within 10 miles. I just buy bricks that they roll or that customers have brought in or ones they get from their change service. They are not ones I have searched because I dump in Coinstar which ships theirs out to be rolled elsewhere. The reason I can look through so many is my job situation. I am an IT guy for an internet provider. I work from home at my desk. So I can search in between calls, sometime while I am on a call. It works out great for me. I do not sell enough to make a living, though I would love it if I could. I do know of two people that are able to do it. Both are on ebay and sell through Heritage and Teletrade. |

Thanks to all on how they recycle their searched coins. As usual on CCF, there is valuable information ALL the time. I learn something new every time I get on.

I'm not big and rich, just a person who has a lot of cents. (pun intended sense)
Seem like most of the varieties are now found on the eastern part of the coast. No more RPMs on the 1990+ coins that we see so much here on the opposite part of the country. If we find a Philly cent here, that is a good day and they are pretty circulated at that point. Just snow birds bring them here.

I visit the Coinstar machine at least once a week.

Punny! I LOVE puns!!
I didn't mean that you're big & rich, it was more of a play on words (phrases I suppose). Your name is Richard & you're a "big-wig", at least here in the CCF.
For whatever reason I give nicknames to people. Not with every person & the name giving happens by chance. For example my bestest, closest friend doesn't have a nickname bc nothing has ever hit me in that way.

tedster, I agree if you are only doing abot $10-20 a week. I usually do $100-150 per week. That is a whole lot of rolling, giving me less time to search.

How do you guys search, I sort mine into wheaties, and then by 1960, 1970, 1980 and so on.
I've found 2 San Francisco mint coins out of 4 boxes, it's pretty sad

There are a lot of years of which I dont check anything but rotation,cuds and clips-if I'm real antsy sometimes I will only sort out the well known DD years and toss the rest after a brief look over-suppose theres always that chance of a discovery coin but odds are thin and when I havent found anything good in long time I want to move through inventory somewhat fast to increase my odds

I love Florida. I was born there, my dad died there. Today's his birthday.
I would totally live there if my son would come with me & if I could stand the summers. #feelingsentimental #tear
