I also no longer hunt, but when I did it was primarily to increase my stack/accumulation. Pretty much the exact opposite of @jbuck.

I still roll hunt. Primary motivation is simply to feed a love for coins. If I find cool stuff, all the better.

I was a CRH addict, for six years straight. With the help of family and fiends, I've recovered. Built a nice stack though.

Of course adding to the stack is nice. I still really enjoy the hunt.The thrill of opening a roll and not knowing what is in there is good for me. However when that same roll contains a few silver coins very satisying to say the least.

I do it to add to my stack and to my collection. It is to me a sub-hobby of coin collecting. Adding silver is a plus!

100% acetone will remove any kind adhesive that causes silver to be stuck to you.

There's something about silver, it is attractive and addictive. Very interesting and pretty strange...

I just LOVE the hunt... putting together three complete sets of Jefferson nickels out of circulation has been a big-time accomplishment for me, especially when you consider it took me three years as a fast food cashier in the mid-late 1980s to put together the first one...

And I've also almost completed a Silver Roosevelt dime set (42 of 48 coins) from my combined CRH and Coinstar finds these past six years - I'm only missing 1950-S, the 3 1955 coins, 1960, and 1962.

And, of course, the hoards I've found... I've found hoards of wheat cents, Buffalo nickels, a full roll of War Nickels, nine rolls of silver dimes from one hoard, and several full rolls of silver half dollars. And the quarters are now fun to search thanks to the West Point coins and, yes, even the occasional silver does manage to show up, surprisingly.

And, of course, the oddities I've found... An 1867 3-cent piece, a half a roll or so of V nickels, some Indian cents, a Barber dime, Walking Liberty halves, an AU 1928-S Buffalo nickel, a 1970-S Small Date cent... you just never know what you're going to find if you're persistent. That's the fun of it for me!
CRH Nickeloholic. 1,600,000 nickels searched in eight years! Have found FOUR complete Jefferson sets!
