Coin Roll Hunting - The Best Hobby Ever?

I prefer cherrypicking, but CRH'ing aint bad.

Takes me too much time to go through 1 box of pennies to look for variations and sort everything. It takes me an evening to look at every coin in the box, flip it to check the reverse then grab the loupe to look for discrepancies.

The time will get better as I progress my knowledge but I still hate dealing with tellers to get a box.

The regular tellers couldn't care less, but the head teller. . ugh, gives me a hard time. Funny thing, she tells me I cant give you one box today but come back tomorrow and i'll have one for you, ugh, we're only talking about 1 box. lolol

Its basically, that box is heavy and I don't feel like going into the vault right now, especially at closing time lol. so whatever.

My bank is always empty, and employees are laughing and enjoying themselves, and it irritates me sometimes when they can't give me a box or two.

Anyway, I recently found this vending machine that gives back dimes for change so every now and again I take 10 bucks and press return change. I get some dimes to search. Wish my bank could handle these transactions as easily.

Very nice!

At the rate you're getting boxes you will destroy it for others. Back off a bit or they'll shut you down and everybody else along with you.

Hey DenverNRG if you are, in fact, in Denver, what coin shop do you work at? I'm in the market for a good LCS! Send me an e-mail!

Oh don't worry bout my CRH amount.... 1 I am right in Denver so the federal reserve is a stones throw away so more coins flow through this area than say little towns or even big towns far away from the federal reserve 2 the tellers seriously LOVE me... I bring em doughnuts weekly and they are ALL super flirty with me and LOVE seeing all my awesome finds IE blank planchets, V nickels, Buffalos, foreigns etc, 3 even if I "anger" a cashier who cares... There's like a bajillion banks here in Denver and in most cases it doesn't even effect my route because there are like 3 banks on one corner generally lol
Just to inform you also I am in my 30's and I have other means of support in the forms of investments and trust funds the morgans are a bonus and like I said if I ever feel I will need some extra cash I can sell one or more of them easily in 48 hours or less... People buy these things up like candy lol

Denver, what you are working for is the silver value, you should be filing your taxes based off that, not the face value. If you get audited, they will slap you down and straighten you out with some heavy fines and penalties. Also, your employer is breaking the law by paying you like that as it means you and him are not paying into SS, MediCare, SUI, and all the other federal programs.

You'd be smart to take some advice from others here... it doesn't matter if the tellers love you, I learned that the hard way. The tellers don't call the shots, upper management does, and upper management doesn't give two craps about a bunch of entry-level rank and file employees, their job is to protect the bottom line, and you are detrimental to that end. With that said, going to 14 banks a week is nothing, and only ordering at 4? There is no way anybody will clean out an area ordering at that rate. I was ordering 40+ boxes of halves a week (and halves don't circulate) and still finding silver. With a denom that actually sees circulation, you would have to move through probably 100+ boxes a week to make a real dent.
