i keep reading, and seeing the photos posted of many great coin finds. many of them are posted by the same people over and over again. my question is - how many coins are you searching through, to keep finding the quantities your posting.
personally I manage only about 1 box (or so) of cents in a month. I don't expect to have the same quantity of finds, and I DO come across the occasional jewel. but some of you people must be going through huge amounts of coins. just wondering. thanks.

As long as my eyes don't act up on me, I do a box a week, mostly in the evening.

I do an average of 4 boxes in 7 days and either my eyes are much worse than I thought but I don't even find jewels very often. Should have added that I do pennies.

Halves I can go thru pretty fast - 4 boxes a week is easy. Cents take longer - a box takes a couple weeks. So it varies depending on what I'm searching.

Greetings. I go through about a fifty dollar bag every other week. I posted a pic of my five gallon jars on another forum, but it felt like bragging, so I kept from posting it here as a newby. The copper cents still waft into the area freely here, and all my LMC are unsearched. I get full bags of fifty bucks all the time for face. No end to cents collecting here.

Wow, there's some dedication going on here.  Myself, I tend to go in spurts... Generally get a roll of dollars every payday. The ones I don't need are spending money and I actually carry/spend them. (Hey the gov wants them circulating, I'm doing my part!) All other pocket change I get goes into a jar, and when the jar gets full-ish I go through it. Maybe once every couple of months? Friends & family also know I collect so some will do similar and when they have a bunch they'll "sell" it to me. And then sometimes when the wife is complaining her purse is too heavy I'll raid that too. And then on extreme occasion I'll get a roll or two of something else from the bank "just because" I've only recently begun looking for errors though and I think it's like any skill and it goes faster the more you do it.

I haven't searched any coins with dependable stats in a while now, but back when I did, I would often go through about 50 rolls a day. I currently have half a million to go through, so I haven't bought any bank boxes in years.

My son and I usually have $25 in change rolls (sometimes a little more, sometimes a little less). Most days, I can get to the bank and trade them in for whatever he's asked me to get. Today, for example, I'll pick up a roll of quarters and three rolls of dimes.
I also save out all the Canadian change I get. We have a friend who visits from Canada once in a while; when she does, she'll pick up rolls of cents equal to what I have for her in Canadian change. Right now, I'm at $15.50, so I could get 31 rolls of Canadian cents to look at. Where's my '85 pointed 5?!

At least a box of cent a week and sometimes a box of nickels as well. Sometimes luck is with me and I get some nice pieces and other times, just dirty fingers.
Seeing quite a few foreign lately in both.

I might do a box of cents every two months. Halves I will search every time time I am able to get them, whether it be everyday or every six months.
