I dont save cooper or nickel, to me it just isn't worth it. I think your money and time is better invested in something else.
Silver is totally worth it, (just hit $40) (YES!) you are having very good luck with dimes, or I'm having terrible luck-I just searched a box tonight and found nothing,
except two golden toned dimes and a really nice '65. Found a '51 the other day though!
Somedays you will search and search and search and search and search and search...well you get the point, but you won't find anything.
Other days you will find amazing finds everywhere you look!
Good luck!

Okay.. Welcome to the forums! :) First, I suggest picking up a Red Book.. They're pretty cheap.. $10 or less.. Copper pennies and Nickels are illegal to melt right now, but who knows in the future.. Here's what I would save: Pennies: 1. Anything pre-1982 2. Wide AM's from 1998, 1999, 2000 Nickels: 1. All of 'em, I guess ;) Dimes & Quarters 1. Pre-1965 Halves: 1. Pre-1971 |

Dollars:
1. Pre-1979
Also, watch out for Proof coins.. Most of these coins have "S" mintmarks..
We'll be glad to explain any of these terms to ya, also! :)

Those are fortuitous. In 70 rolls, not one silver.

wow 70 rolls no silver... I stick to dimes and quarters but quarters I havent had much luck so I guess I'm a dime guy for now mostly.
anyways question about rerolling... should I buy a machine... I sure as heck dont want to use coinstar ill lose in the long run that way... I heard some banks do it free? what about my local coin shop?
( this better not be a canadian dime I think to myself ) right before I pull the silver out of the roll hahhaha crazy world this is

Obviously any silver. I don't have the space or inclination to hoard copper.
I take a little different approach on cents. I keep all au/bu pre 82s. Where I differ is I think the post 82 problem free Zincolns have the most growth potential.
Also, go check the varieties forum and see what is being looked for.

If you want to, you can get paper rolls cheaply, or at a bank, and reroll them yourself.. Then return them to a designated bank called a "dump bank".. This would save you the coinstar fees..

isn't there an easier way... can I walk into my coinshop and just buy silver dollars with bags of coins
anyone heard of this before? coin shops taking coins as pay
and arent there coin rolling machines that do it for you that you can get for home use or something?

I suppose you could pay with bags of coins.. Money is money, right? ;) and they like coins anyway..lol..
I've never heard of a coin rolling machine..
Are there lots of banks in your area? Try to find one that let's account holders use a counting machine for free..

You caught the fever. You caught it from us, once you started reading. It's contagious. We got it, and we passed it onto you. You poor, little thing. There's no antidote for it. You have no choice, now, but to keep on reading, and learn. You'll get the idea. BTW, welcome!  |

I would guess that a coin rolling machine would cost more than the profit your making in silver coin finds. Probably take multiple years to get your money back.
