Nice finds indeed! What kind of boxes are you searching? Brinks?

Yup, Brinks. I needed a good box. I've had a lot of dogs lately.

I usually search nickels (I buy 10 or 20 rolls of cents occasionally...they are hard on my eyes). The Brinks boxes have been really good turning up alot of War Nickels and a fair amount of buffalos. I even found 3 Liberty nickels since September. The String Boxes have been pretty bad. Maybe I'll have to try a Brinks Box of cents and hope for a good box like yours! |

So a newbie question - how do you get one of these Brinks boxes? I've never heard of this.

Brinks rolls are the plastic wrapped. If your bank has plastic wrapped rolls, just ask for a box of 50 rolls.

I've never bought a Brinks box before. I'm going to check with my bank this week to see what they offer. Interesting way to find missing pieces.

It doesn't have to be a Brinks box...any $25 in circulation will do. There's nothing special about Brinks.
So from seeing the list of coins found by the OP, I'm assuming he's skipping all of the possible big money finds in die varieties? Too bad. There's a HUGE profit to be had from finding them. Seems like the OP is keeping very low value common stuff instead of hunting the scarce high value stuff.

Not quite sir! I weed out the obvious first, then slowly search for varieties. I've learned a lot from this forum and look forward to learning more.  Edited by m9frank

I don;'t think that is the noirm, for boxes of cents. I search a LOT of them, and don't find 10% 0f what you have listed. I am a variiety guntert/collector, and save every IJHC I get in hand. My listing would include a few Canadian, some mexican, a few from the bahamas, as well as the LWC, LMC. In facrt, I have about 16 boxes to go thru. I got them when I was still driving a car, but now I am not able to see well wnough to own a drivers license, so they are slowly getting searched, and "recycled" as I am able to get to the bank. I get both plastic rolls, and paper wrrap, so it is a toss-up as to which gives the best returns. I also like "customer wraps. You never know what they will hold. Good luck in your future roll-searching. Dick |
