Any rolls I look at go in the trash, and I don't use wrappers when I return the coins to the bank. They go in the free counting machine.

I mainly use a black X but lately it has been a black X with two lines going on each side of the X so you can see it all the way around the roll. Lately I have seen a spike in Ike dollars in my area (i have been using them more often now though) So I am experimenting my marking each one with a small mark on the reeding of the coin and going to banks and picking up all ikes they happen to have. |

Who re-rolls in this day and age? I've got two thou$and in dimes to search in 2 hours....2 thou$and in halves....and what's the point of marking rolls? To each his own.

it takes me 30 min to search 2000 customer wrapped dimes.. its easy really. just open the top end, shift them in one hand, scan the edge and pour them back into the wrapper.. really fast and easy.. I avoid plastic wrapped and shutgun fed wrapped to save on time..

SD, 40 rolls searched in 30 min isn't bad....but if you are doing 300-400+ rolls and have to be done in 2 hours or less....no way am I re-rolling.

With the responses on here I need to ask what banks you guys use to that allow you to take back that much coin in a day unrolled without a charge. I have two banks that I have money at with several branches in the area and one bank allows as many rolls as you want back in a day, but I buy my boxes from them so I don't take them back there. The other bank allows 5 rolls a day per branch, or if they have a coin counter 50 bucks at the counter before you get charged 3%. There are 4 branches nearby so I can take back anywhere from 60 to 200 bucks a day and drive under 15 miles. It makes it a pain. So if there are any nationwide banks that have a coin counter and allow unlimited change in one day can someone tell me the name of the branch. It would save me lots of time and gas and you would have a special place in my heart lol

Rkrj, you have to locate a counter without a fee. You may also have to hold a minimum deposit with your bank. Some banks allow bagged loose coin deposits, and you see your money immediately, or days later. I had a sweet deal for awhile, where I turned over $500 bags of loose dimes or halves, and received cash then and there. You really have to do your footwork to find deals such as those.
Credit Unions are wonderful, banks aren't. I use banks to order coin, period.

I just mark my rolls with a simple line near one of the ends, but I'm tempted now to mark some as wheats or mercurys  |

I write on my rolls of dimes, this is silver do not sell. In case I die I don't want my wife to get scammed.

I'll usually mark the roll with an X or a K, and/or I will mark a roll of pennies buy putting a 2010 shield on each end, or a Westward Journey on both ends for nickels. Quote:

I have written 'Franklin' on a roll of BiCentennial halfs before, and dropped it at a bank I know to have a silver searching teller that also happens to be an obnoxious cow.
I am also guilty of marking coins that someone else has already, but only if the coins are in bad shape.
