My only concern is they make searching through a gazillion pennies easy. I can testify it isn't, and there certainty are no guarantees. It can be "fun" at times, and very frustrating at other times. I have gone through a million rolls of pennies, and while I have found some neat finds, I have never even found anything worth slabbing.

Thanks for posting .... Our hobby can use all the free advertising it can get. Although I tend to agree with Merclover in that they make it sound pretty easy. It takes a lot of patience and some pretty good knowledge.

yes it promotes the hobby and new people entering it, but it also entices newbies to coinroll hunt and go out and shake down a bank for rolls with improper etiquette and makes it harder on the rest of us hunters that know the procedures and what will trigger the banks into cutting us off. they, make it harder on all of us if they do thing wrong and trigger the banks into setting up blocks on everyone doing it.

That is the down-side: getting a bunch of get-rich-quick types who don't treat the tellers nice and make it harder for the rest of us. Hopefully those people will be quickly discouraged and flee the scene.
