How Do You Guys Subject Yourself To Roll Hunting?

I haven't found any for a long time. It's technically illegal to distribute them (or this is what the banks say).

I search as many pennies as I can get a hold of. Partially because I really like it and also because they are becoming harder and harder to find. I consider it a privilege that I can still get a fairly steady supply of small cents. I probably wouldn't CRH if I was in the UK because I can see it being very boring. Once the pennies dry up I may switch back to nickels but search less often or I may quit altogether.

I've been getting really good results lately because I think the pennies coming in to the banks now are not from stores/businesses but from people cashing in their jars they've had sitting for a long time. Today I probably had close to 100 pennies from the 80's that looked like they had just come out of an original mint roll or close to it. Then there were 15 wheat pennies and some MS copper American cents. Not to mention 4 UK pennies and 4 half pennies (first time seeing half pennies ever let alone in rolls).

It can be like treasure hunting when you find something great. I think I've found 6 George V small cents (1920-1936) out of probably 100 000 or so pennies searched. Then there was this error coin I found: https://goccf.com/t/158225&whichpag...chTerms=2006
which now has a new owner right here on CCF.

I look forward to coin roll hunting kind of like other people buy lottery tickets. The only difference being my "tickets" are redeemable for face value and I win a lot more often :).

Coin roll hunting takes me back to my youth when my grandfather brother and I would spend hours looking. I rarely get bored. These days I usually have the TV on in the background. If you watch TV you can coin roll hunt at the same time. Just requires more hand washing than normal.

To spice things up a bit, look for errors. Learn what errors to look for. There are a fair number of those in the wild at any time.
