Polo4121 Valued Member United States 50 Posts	Posted 03/29/2012 8:30 pm I have searched through half dollar rolls once before. I got about 15 rolls and had a blast. I recently got a brinks box of cents and was wondering what the best way to search these would be. I looked through 13 rolls and it took about an hour. I did find some upgrades for my album and two wheaties ( a 40d and a 50d) any suggestions would be great Report this Post to the Staff

ZiggyZ Valued Member United States 162 Posts	Posted 03/29/2012 9:13 pm It depends on what you are looking for. Some people look for varieties/errors, and they usually search at a table and use a big magnifier. I'm just looking for wheats and upgrades to my memorial set (I pull coppers too, but that's not really my point in searching). I don't need magnification, so I like to do it on the floor, in front of the TV. Takes me about an hour and a half to two hours to do a box, but it used to be longer, when more of the memorial cents were upgrades. Report this Post to the Staff

rgathright Valued Member United States 264 Posts	Posted 03/31/2012 07:40 am Remember, these coins have been in circulation for years. Carefully sort them one by one and try not to scratch or treat them rough. Why? Because the potential for having a very rare find is in every roll and scratching it would be a shame. Have fun with your searching efforts. We do love pictures here! Report this Post to the Staff
