I have developed an obsession for coin roll hunting. It started when I found a sterling silver Royal Danish coffee pot, creamer and sugar bowl at a garage this past summer...45.98 troy ounces for $55. I then googled "finding silver" and read about coin roll hunting.

I started at my local banks branches...about 20 rolls which had 2 40% coins. After driving all over town for only 2 coins, I didn't feel it was worth the trouble. Then a friend told me that he gets 40% coins from teller trays (the kind in plain sight). I decided to give it another try after discovering Coin Community Roll Hunting forum. I read someone's comment about having more success at small town banks.

I drove about ten miles to a town with one bank. This bank had 55 rolls. I figured it was someone's dump but picked up 16 rolls anyway. These 16 rolls had 65 40% coins; so of course I went back for the other 39...which had 10 40%.

Over the next couple of weeks I went to every small town bank in the area. I ended up with the following:
7 rolls for 16 40%
100 rolls for 23 40% and 1 90%
110 rolls for 20 40% and 4 90% (including a Franklin)
30 rolls for 0.
I also kept some semi-key dates listed in the forum.
Unfortunately I cleaned out all of the close stockpiles of
rolls...moved on to dimes. I found 5 silver Roosevelts in about 70 rolls of dimes.
