How Many Are Into Coin Roll Hunting?

I asked to look through a giant bag of Sac's once at my bank......and got a resounding NO !!.....doesn't hurt to ask !....

So your talking about one of those coin counter machines. You overflowed it with non-silver. The teller came and opened up the machine and there was a bag inside that contained all that? Never would have thought might try this.

Got an interesting run with some Brinks (paper-wrapped) penny boxes I picked up last week... Higher than usual wheat count, including a dozen 1944-Ps, but even more interesting were ten early 50s D-mint cents in XF condition or better, with three of them red or red-brown. Also had an AU red 1941-P. Guess somebody lost part of their coin collection...

Hi, I'm a new member to this site & string. I've been hunting through rolls of coins for years, from cents to halves. This past week I went through a box of dimes and only found a 1957 (about average for a box). I also scoured a few of the local banks and came up with over $1600 in halves. After going through all that I ended up with the following:
40% x 14
1964 x 4
Proofs x 2 (1971 & 2001)

These results are better than what I've found lately. I've hit a dry spell starting in early Feb. Don't think I've found more than 50 silver coins since then. In earlier years I would have had much more. Has anyone else seen the same trend?

As for pennies, this is what I do. First at the beginning of the month I buy $50 worth in customer wrapped cents. I find that I get better results from these than from fed-wrapped boxes. I average 10-20 wheats per month along with a few other things like dimes, foreign coins (various countries & denominations), Canadian King George cents (I'm less than 2 hrs from Canada, so I find Canadian cents by the handful each month and am able to pick out the older coins), novelty coins (items & symbols stamped into the coin's field), and the occasional error coin. Also I rarely get exactly 5000 cents for my $50, so I keep track as to how much I gain or lose. So far I'm ahead 300-400 coins. I'll let you know my tallies next time.

Just finished another box of cents last night and found this...a first for me.

homiegrubbs,
That's a beauty! I hope you have a Canadian cent collection to add him too!
