I just want to ask what type of rolls do you search mostly. Customer wrapped rolls or machine wrapper rolls?

For me, it depends on what my bank hands me. I have no problem hunting either rolls, but I like bank wrapped rolls personally because there is a low chance they were hunted, and I can save the roll easily if there is an ender I want to keep. Hope this all makes sense. Happy hunting!

Searching half dollars I prefer customer wrapped. Of course I find a lot of dumped rolls, but the rewards are usually better. Nickels I prefer machine wrapped. Whichever route you go, typically the more you search...the more you find.

I do not CRH now, but when I did it was exclusively CWR. I dated a teller at the time and we made a good team.

Up in Canada here about 95% of all the Machine wrapped rolls have been put through the largest Roll hunting agency in the world, the Canadian government. These have all been processed and anything non-magnetic drops out, so no silver and no USA coinage.

I pass on these all the time.

The last few years I'd make the rounds and buy up at least 2 grand in dimes in one shot. Nothing better for the chance of solid silver than CWR rolls. Same with halves.

Machine wrapping does not, and cannot be tempted to search for scarce or rare coins.

There remains the possibility that customer wrapped coins MAY have been searched by a CRH'er.
Maybe even yourself in a roll recycle.

I scored my biggest score ever with CWR. 11 Rolls of silver quarters, 15 rolls of silver dimes, and a roll of 40%.
Rest in Peace

I like CWR especially during the month of December , lots of people cashing in all their change to buy Christmas gifts . On the other hand you can find some decent Lincolns and IHC from BWR's of Cents .

Hey if it's free to search why not just Search Them ALL ?

When I walk into a bank & they tell me that A customer brought in 300 rolls of halves earlier that day, & she shows me rolls that are marked with 4 dots, I don't waste my time. I've looked at enough of these rolls to know that he pulls out the same stuff I do (silver, proofs & all NIFC). If you want to waste your time searching every roll...knock yourself out. Then you also have to deal with dumping the same 300 rolls. I have found a few 40% that were missed by others edge searching because they looked very similar to the c/n clad. But never in the rolls marked with the 4 dots. If you have the time, & can easily (and cost effectively) unload the rolls you don't want...then go for it.

My best solid silver rolls were found that way. Old timers still toss the 40% halves. Not only that, just buy 'em and dump out of your district. Your tellers will love you.
