Whenever you find someone's collection of whatever kind of coin. Wheat pennies, Buffalo nickels, that sort of thing.
Preferably not a worthless coin dump though. I once found 4 or 5 custom wrapped rolls marked 2018 P.

While roll hunting between 2009-2014, I found at least a dozen solid rolls of silver halves, partial rolls of silver dimes (ten silvers or more per roll), multiple rolls of pre-1960 Jefferson nickels, and 50+ solid rolls of wheat cents.
When I listen to LED ZEPPELIN...so do my neighbors...
Roll hunting since '77
Dirt fishing since '72

I hunted a box that had 24 40% Kennedys and another box that 2 walkers, 3 64's and 7 40%. Another box had 8 proofs. Not sure if any would be considered a "collection" dump. Other than the proofs it was probably just stuff that grandpa had in a coffee can or something.

I'm very happily in the "more than 5" camp... I've found dumps of every denomination via CRH except Quarters and Dollars. A friend once did tip me off to a cashier at a mexican food place who had given him 2 silver quarters in change - I went there and bought his quarters and got six silver ones.

Several wheatie dumps, a few Buffalo nickel dumps, dumps of old Jefferson nickels - even an almost complete collection of 1938-1961 nickels in another dump, a roll of War Nickels, my famous silver dime dump (9 rolls) among 46 total rolls from one bank... several different small half dollar dumps (mostly single full rolls of 90% coins).

And one of my dumps was a Coinstar mostly silver dump (37 quarters and 42 dimes) - see below link:

CRH Nickeloholic. 1,600,000 nickels searched in eight years! Have found FOUR complete Jefferson sets!
