I enjoy Candadian quarter searching. I find lots of colored quarters and RCMP quarters....havnt found any silver yet, oh well. I did find a 1960 silver dime in a penny roll just recently. Is it worth keeping the prior 2000 quarters if they are taking them out of circulation? Also I have found like 4 sets of olympics except for the hockey one...i swear I have 3 sets that need the hockey one I can never find that one.

Solidifier, do you mean the standard hockey quarter or the one put out in 2009 to commemorate Canada's hockey gold in 2002? If the gold medal one, do you mean men's or women's, and also plain or coloured?

snicker... snicker... snicker... sorry I just had to. With CRH if you are not doing volume, you are not likely finding anything. I aim to search $7000 in quarters each week, and $3000+ dimes.
I am lucky if I average $2 in silver.

Reviving old topic because CRH'ing never stops! Four years after the last post, so a lot has changed.. the ARP program has killed off almost anything interesting anymore for coins, unless you still get into the steel commemoratives that come out now. Practically no silver, almost no coins made of nickel pre-2001 - so my focus is on getting US coins at CDN prices.. Will pay off once we are able to travel again because we have a cross-border driving trip planned, so it will be easy to bring them across to my US bank, change them up for US bills, and have US cash without the 30-35% exchange rate. First box of quarters yesterday: 22 regular US 1 silver 1964 US 1 silver 1968 CDN 1 Thai 5 baht 1 UAE 1 dinar kept 40 different commemoratives to refresh my trading stock Back to another bank! |

Ya they can be worth your time - once I went to the bank and the teller asked me if I was coin roll hunting - when I said yes she brought me out two of the four rolls of 68 silver quarters a man hand brought in that morning.

Oh, that's fantastic, when a teller is looking out for YOU and what you want.. Tim Hortons card for that teller, for sure! Ok, results from second box are not as good as the first - only got 43 rolls and $70 change in exchange for the box of 50 rolls brought to the bank (a little short changed, ha ha!).
Out of 43 rolls, 8 were plastic wrapped mint rolls - 5 different provinces from 1992 series, and 3 rolls from the 1999/2000 Millennium series.
So out of 35 rolls/1400 coins supposedly:
5 regular US
12 replacement commemoratives for my trading list.
1969/1972 upgrades for my album.
Well, it wasn't really 1400 coins - 3 rolls had a nickel mixed in to replace a quarter, so I lost value with that.. I mean, how hard up does a person have to be to squeeze 20 cents profit per roll from the bank?
So, here's a question - in your box of customer wrapped rolls, what would make you more upset? 5 rolls that are short one coin each (39 instead of 40), or 5 rolls with 39 quarters and 1 nickel in each? Personally, if some rolls are short, I will give the benefit of the doubt and think the person miscounted, even to the tune of 5 rolls wrong out of 50. But the rolls with the nickel? That's obviously on purpose. And that would steam me even more... :(
