What's In A $25 Box Of US Cents These Days, Anyway?

I offer my thoughts looking back on a long life of collecting and imagining how things would have turned out if I'd allocated my time differently. Truthfully, my success and joy has stemmed from meeting other collectors, buying and selling, reading and learning, getting to know dealers. Coin roll hunting is a solitary endeavor with only marginal increments of knowledge and even less likelihood of financial gain.

I know most of you dismiss me as an old coot, which indeed I am, but I have walked your path and bet with certainty that all of you will one day come to agree with me.

CRH can serve a lot of different purposes for different folks.

For the data-driven and those on the autism spectrum, CRH statistics can provide comfort.

For the gamblers and the risk-takers, CRH can be a low-cost alternative to playing the lottery or the one-armed bandit.

As others have mentioned, there is minimal cost in CRH, aside from what you extract for yourself, thus opening the hobby to all income brackets.

I am Autistic and love coin roll hunting. I have been coin roll hunting for some years now (I am 24, almost 25). I one time got a coin bag with 500 wheat cents in it, it was last Christmas I think. Also I respect everyone's opinions. My grandma Linda and I used to coin roll hunt, sadly she passed away some years back, and I loved to spend time with her coin roll hunting. We used to go out of town to a delicious Chinese restaurant, and would stop at this TCF bank (I noticed it is now a Huntington bank), and get nickels. One time, they had a whole box of nickels for my grandparents and I. My grandpa had an account at the TCF bank. I hope everyone has a Merry Christmas.

@halfamind.... I appreciate the analytics/statistics, as the data appears to be pretty much spot-on from my experience CRH'ing. I also picked up a $25 box from the bank a few days ago. I'll go through a couple rolls here & there in my spare time & am cognizant of the fact, that its highly unlikely that I'll ever find those elusive bucket list DDO's or transitionals. That being said, I do enjoy the hunt even though 99.9% of what I find is junk & I end up rolling it back up or dumping it. Over the years, I've come across many minor DDO's/DDR's that are in decent condition & have added to my hoard.
