New Coin Roll Hunter With A Ticked Off Wife.....

Taking back to the bank today:
$100.00 (roughly) in Nickels
$50.00 in Lincolns.

Scored two Silver War Nickels out of that and a dateless Buffalo nickel. (and several 2009 D's with one P)
And a couple Canadian Nickels.
The Cents produced half a dozen Wheaties.

I had been on a "break" from roll hunting again.
The wife tends to feel like I'm "invading" on her scrapbooking/computer time in our den when I'm in there !
She just doesn't have the interest to "assist" me in doing this.....and I think she gets mad when I "have" to re-search all of the coins she's done to make sure she didn't miss anything, the few times she HAS done it with me ! ....... I could see where this would be annoying ! ...

SO..... I find that I work best ....when it's quiet....late at night, or really early in the morning.
These are the times that I roll hunt generally.....

My wife was upset that I had money tied up in the coins and then she got even more upset when I told her and showed her the 25th annie sets. I am selling 4 raw and keeping 1 and now she is very, very happy.

My wife gets ticked with me as well when I roll hunt but for a different reason..

I mostly roll hunt for silver/old/foreign coins. I have every common date Canadian quarter, nickel, dime and penny so I no longer need to fill every hole in my albums.

So the part that ticks my wife off is when I'm roll hunting, I will open up one side of the roll and push the coins in to my hand like a log from the other side of the roll. Once the coins are in my hand, I can usually pick out any silver/foreign coins by looking at the rim. If there aren't any, I will start to put the coins back in the roll one at a time.

My wife HATES the "tink" sound of the coins hitting eachother as I put them back in the roll...

She always says "I only get a minute or two of silence which is ALWAYS followed by 49 tinks!! It's driving my crazy!"

The only time she will tolerate the tinking sound is when she decides to open up a roll or two herself because she gets jealous when I pull out silver.

Im curious how long all of you have been married?!

This is a funny conversation! My wife thought my searching was silly at first but now she very much supports me. She won't let me stop actually! And she helps sometimes. I started with pennies, then nickels and dimes. We inherited money recently and she even said I could use 10 grand to search halves in volume. I doubt I will though. But that's how much she supports me. lol.

By the way we are both 23 and have been married 2 years.

At first my girlfriend was excited about me roll hunting. She was pretty supportive and would even ask for halves when she went to the bank by herself. A couple months down the line, and it is a completely different story. She too asks if it is going to be a coin free weekend, but I can tell by her eyes that if I say, "no" I'm in the dog house. She doesn't mind the searching so much, but she doesn't like HATES dumping, she says she gets embarrassed.

I've had my girlfriend for a year now, but she says my coin searching is one of the reason's she loves me. Of course she thinks I'm a nerd, but she supports me so I'm happy!
