I'm new to coin hunting and just finished looking through my jar of coins. So my question is what is the best route to go now? I was think of buying rolls of coins from the bank to look through for "jems." Is that a good method to try? if so what is the best currency to go after? Quarters, Dimes, Nickels, pennies, Half dollars, ect. ... where is the money at?
Getting them from the bank is a no risk method. No matter what youll be left with the exact same amount of money as you started with, you literally have nothing to lose trying it
I looked at the poll you put and it looks like nickels are the way to go, but I am seeing the whole gambit. So, the next question is, is there a good site or book that has a complete list of errors to look for? at this point, I separate the coins by year, then google year and curency plus "errors" to find common errors. there has to be a site or book to use as a "one stop" resource.
This is a great place to start! Coin roll hunting (CRH) is a great way to learn about errors and varieties. If you have a way to post up-close and clear photos, you can post your finds and ask questions. There's even a forum for photography here.
