Poll Question
In looking at the forum posts, most of the photos and threads pertain to silver finds, so I started wondering, why does everyone hunt rolls? For me, I started hunting rolls as a way to cheaply increase my silver stack and avoid the current outrageous premiums. But in doing so it has reignited my interest in coin collecting as well. Since I started I have assembled an almost complete set of BU Kennedy halves (minus my nemesis, the 2013P). I have also started branching out to other denominations now.

Coin roll hunting gives me something else to do while I watch TV or old radio shows.

I no longer roll hunt, but when I did it was primarily to fill holes in my collection. I do have a stash of duplicate wheat cents and silver half dollars, but that was never the goal. I once traded a significant portion of the half dollars (mostly Kennedy) to a coin dealer to acquire the remaining Franklin half dollars for my set. |

I still roll hunt. Primary motivation is simply to feed a love for coins. If I find cool stuff, all the better.

I was a CRH addict, for six years straight. With the help of family and fiends, I've recovered. Built a nice stack though.
When I listen to LED ZEPPELIN...so do my neighbors...
Roll hunting since '77
Dirt fishing since '72

Of course adding to the stack is nice. I still really enjoy the hunt.The thrill of opening a roll and not knowing what is in there is good for me. However when that same roll contains a few silver coins very satisying to say the least.

I do it to add to my stack and to my collection. It is to me a sub-hobby of coin collecting. Adding silver is a plus!

I'm stuck on silver, cause silver is stuck on me 100% acetone will remove any kind adhesive that causes silver to be stuck to you.  There's something about silver, it is attractive and addictive. Very interesting and pretty strange... Suffering from bust half fever. Want to learn how to attribute early half dollars by die variety?
