Well, the shows been over for about an hour and a half. I'm watching it on DVR and figured there would already be a thread. I was surprised to see one of the preppers does "a treasure hunt of sorts...coin hunting". It showed the entire process of picking up at the bank to opening them at home. It even educated everyone on exactly what to look for and how to do it. The guy talked about how exciting it is to find that really good roll.
At first, I was kind of excited but that quickly turned to fear. This is a pretty popular show and I guarantee the audience are exactly the type that would be interested in CRHing. I would bet money this brings more people to the hobby than any book or word of mouth or, '5 words to say when going the bank' sales pitch.
Anyone see it?

Missed it... I can picture it, though. Did it say if he's looking for numismatic value or just silver?

They/he only referenced silver but he was using a loupe to look at the rim of a coin?!?!
If I had never heard of this hobby and never been interested in investing in silver, I can tell you this show would have been enough to get me to go buy some half dollars. They pump the treasure hunt aspect of it. Of course, he found 12 silvers in one roll (or acted like it). That particular roll was a cwr while the others were bwr. Not sure if he bought it or staged it in case he didn't find any silver in the bwr's.

There are more than one "preppers". My DVR says "Doomsday Preppers, A decommissioned missile silo". Of course, that is in reference to one of the other preppers. The CRH portion is in the first story. Long haired guy that owns a rock quarry.

Easy way to offset this is to hand roll several hundred in halves and drop 50 bucks or so each at a dozen or so banks near your house... that's what I'll be doing.

Think about that... if everybody who regularly orders boxes rerolls a box and spreads the dumps around while simultaneously cleaning those banks out of all customer wrapped coin to ensure that no solid rolls or anything that is like an instant shot of crack to the brain is picked up... the effects of this will be mitigated and people will write it off as made for TV bs.

Thats a great idea fade , good way for us to protect our turf , last thing we want is the masses cathcing on to the game the next few days are the crucial ones as far as impact from the show so most people watching the tv show that decide to do it will most likely do it in the next few days or they will forget other wise so everyone should take fades advise if you have time and dump abound your area

I like the idea Fade. Unfortunately, banks in my area won't accept cwr's. I guess I could at least drop off a few loose coins at various banks, and make sure to pick up any customer coin.

I didn't see the show but I have ended up buying some coin that has been coin roll hunted a dozen times from someone in my town. I have been looking for a "commercial" coin wrapper with this every idea in mind, wrapping boxes periodically and dumping them around town.

I was around 14 years old when I figured out this crh thing, without television or internet. Now I'm 50. Once the average Joe discovers that it's all just a pipe dream, he will (through lack of finds), give it up.
When I listen to LED ZEPPELIN...so do my neighbors...
Roll hunting since '77
Dirt fishing since '72
