If you want to get a roll of any coin that has not been searched, then going through a bank or credit union is the only way.
Any one selling rolled coins that state they are "unsearched" is questionable. Only if they are selling the coins in the original US mint box as shipped and unopened would I bother.
As to the volume you want to obtain, you can do as I do, I have found various banks that have coin counting machines that do not charge a fee. I simply walk in, use the machine, and then cash the coins in. Once done, I will purchase a few rolls and ask for ones that have been deposited.
I also use other banks so as to not make them angry with me. Some banks are now charging fees if you keep depositing trays of coins on a regular basis.
If you want to search for new issues, another trick is to get Federal rolls of coins which are loose coins from large US mint bags rolled by federal depositors and delivered to banks. You can get them from banks but you can also ask a cashier if you can buy a roll. I have found many new issue coins (2010 Lincolns and now State Parks quarter) way before release to the public from chage handed out at Wall-Marts. Why I am not sure, but check your change!
And last but not least, at banks and other financial institutions, you pay FACE VALUE and not a fee.
Happy hunting.
Hope this helps.

Just find somewhere else to dump them unless they want them back. Some smaller banks never seem to have enough cents and will gladly take them and beg for more.
