JonNickelCollector Pillar of the Community United States 860 Posts	Posted 03/11/2012 8:07 pm Is there a consensus about the order of productivity of roll hunting by type of coin, ie pennies, nickels, dimes, quarters, half dollars. Which is most productive? Which is least productive? Report this Post to the Staff

unfamiliar Valued Member United States 142 Posts	Posted 03/11/2012 8:30 pm From everything I've read (I'm a newbie who wondered the same question you did), it's: Halves > Dimes > Nickels > Quarters When it comes to silver. I don't know how you'd put pennies into that category as it's a whole different game, in my opinion. You do find more wheat pennies than you do silver in any category, but the reward is relative.

rachums107 Pillar of the Community United States 3345 Posts	Posted 03/12/2012 12:02 am I agree but I think halves depend on location too. I say this from reading the half dollar forum where folks are always finding either nothing, miniscule amounts or rarely jack pots. But I agree with the first post. Report this Post to the Staff
silverdollar2011 Valued Member United States 385 Posts	Posted 03/12/2012 12:26 am I totally agree, halves are very hit and miss, either you just hit a jackpot or just suffer several skunks in a row. Dimes are more consistent producers,as I can guarantee you with at least 1 silver dime per box. There's quite some variety in searching dimes too! Report this Post to the Staff
ibab Valued Member United States 167 Posts	Posted 03/12/2012 9:10 pm most dollar value of silver - halves. Halves are also easy to sort through quickly (time per $1 sort). While I've found silver in dimes, I've also found my fair share of other junk and mis counted bags - so I'm probably closer to even on that. -- haven't tried boxes. Nickels can be fun when you find war, buffalo, v etc Report this Post to the Staff
