Best Coin In First Roll Or Last?

Last. That would make happy because I did not find anything good until the last roll.

I like last, but I kind of cheat. I look at the ends of all the rolls and if anything interesting like a Wheatie, Canadian, or silver is on the end I set it aside. I then save those rolls till the end or periodically open one up for a pick me up if I get a lot in a row that are sad.

I get clear brinks rolls, so if I see a silver edge in a box of dimes I save it for last, unless I'm depressed and want to see a keeper right now. But then it turns out to be Canadian.

I was on a hot streak with half boxes about a month ago, then I got a skunk...or so I thought. I was searching on the couch, and one of the rolls must have rolled under my leg. Finished the skunk box, and was cleaning up the wrappers with a sad look on my face and I stood up and saw the wrapped roll. Figured it was a dud, but...saw some beautiful whiteness staring at me at the end of the roll. Ended the box with a 1964 Kennedy.

So long story short, I prefer to get the best one at the end, it's a nice surprise.
Can't tell you how many times I've started with 10 40% in the first few rolls, then nothing in the last 40 rolls.

First roll. It would give me confidence and hope for the rest of the box.

I don't really have a preference for one or the other but it seems as though I usually search through a whole box and don't find anything until the very last roll. If I find something early on I get my hopes up and expect to find more ... when nothing pops up I'm a little "blah". If I search through a whole box and don't find anything until the last roll and find just one it seems like that one coin makes my day :)

When opening rolls I sort my cents into three groups;copper,key zinc(92,88,99 and a few others),others.
I check the key zincs first then the others and save the coppers for slow times,so it's hard to tell what roll they come from.
