Based on my and my son's experience with coin roll searching, we would rate our productivity of roll searching as follows:
nickels pennies dimes quarters
Since I'm thinking about expanding beyond nickels, I would like feedback from other roll searchers on how they rate their productivity by denomination.
Cents tend to annoy me in this area though I have found a IDQ. Never found anything but common dates in dimes. I have the most fun in nickels never sold one however. I like quarters but I have state and park albums that I'm always upgrading form circulation. I also found a silver quarter this month so it's fun.
Most luck I have is just asking my teller if she had any halves or have anything unusual. I sold $70 worth since this summer that way.
My experience with quarters has been poor, not finding any silver or varieties in bank rolls. Success with dimes is getting increasing difficult. I think nickels and pennies give the most opportunities for finding coins that would bring some kind of premium in value and the most fun to spend time with.
