How Many Are Into Coin Roll Hunting?

I was having a really good month with all these silver laden boxes. HH Mark

I have come off the platteau for now and am on the lower side of the roller coaster for a time. Still finding silver just not near as much and having to go through alot more boxes to get what I do. For instance I got ME first Barber last night, only other silver in the box was one 40%er. Here's a pic, enjoy and HH Mark

wowza what a box ..........the banks got in 2 500 dollar boxes they would only sell me one but I got 20 90% and 28 40% so I was hella execited and I have my wife going to see if she can score some of the other box as I am writing this

what does a $20.00 roll look like? I've only seen the $10 ones.

hey all.....today I got a box of half dollars from my bank. my wife is a "why do you waist you time" type person. well I found 1 franklin 62.....4 64 kennedys.....and 7 40%....i was thrilled, my wife is still "its a waist of tome....

Metalman expressed my strategy to a tee...banks in small, remote towns. I wish I could afford to fly to rural Nevada and spend a month touring.

Umm....I search rolls of Lincolns, have for about 30 years now. I have scarcely found anything in Lincoln rolls that would constitute a generalist key date, although I have found a number of scarce to rare die varieties. I guess the best finds I have ever made in rolls would be a 1909S in VG, an 1864L in G, an 1872, a Civil War token from 1863, and a coal scrip token that sold on ebay for $60.

I bought four wheat bags from a dealer at $150 each about five years ago, and found a roll of indians and two rolls of 09VDB cents in the bag...along with about 20 rolls of steel cents, and a few rolls of earlier mintmarked cents that were worth far over $150 a bag...like 1917D, 1925S, 1929D, etc. All were basic circ coins, but they were the coins that typically sell for over $10 a roll. The guy basically tossed every roll he saw as a wheat roll into bags, and when the bags weighed 35 pounds, he called them full. He had four full bags when the local show came up, and he was happy to off them at a profit over regular bag price...which was $125 at the time.

Other good roll finds, I guess, would include a group of customer wrapped rolls I purchased in three $25 boxes at the bank to find that they had been rolled in the mid-1980s. This was about two years ago. Thing is, 1984, 1984D, 1986, and 1986D rolls all sell for nice money, and I was sorting through BU coin after coin in these rolls. I assembled three BU rolls of 1986 - worth over $25 a roll at the time.

I did the half dollar thing for money when I was in high school back in the 80s. Silver was difficult to find, but silver clad half dollars were easy to find. In one $100 group, $60 were silver clad. I took them to the local dealer for 65c each. I remember the silver ones selling for $1.75 at the time.
