Spot Price plus 1 New Member United States 2 Posts	Posted 09/15/2011 04:01 am Hello all. Funny...i have been CRH for some time. I never knew this site existed until I started doing some research on some foriegn coins I found, oddly not CRH, but nonetheless, it brought me here to a blog someone posted and I found this. Awesome. I am kind of bummed though....i bought my first full box (something I did NOT know I could do until this site, thank you) and it must have come from the FED. But apparently there's 2 other people in my small town CRH as all 3 of us went to the same bank in the same day and bought all the rolls they had! ha. Whoops. But, I did want to ask a question: What rolls of coins if any, are best to search for or are most likely to contain GOLD coins? I would guess pennies. 1/10th ounce gold or fractional? While my half dollar searching will never stop, it may be somthing I look into. thanks for the help. Report this Post to the Staff

And as far as I have seen, I haven't heard of anyone on this forum finding gold from roll searching. And if they have then it is a major rarity. People are usually smart enough to keep a gold coin when they see them. Silver on the other hand get's away sometimes because people may not know the value and/or they may not know the coin is made of silver. Plus, if there was a source where we could find gold, people would be searching those rolls like crazy until it is all gone. Report this Post to the Staff
fistfulladirt Pillar of the Community United States 4333 Posts	Posted 09/15/2011 06:02 am I know of a a few hunters from another forum that have found gold coins roll hunting. Some hunters have found gold jewelry in the reject bin of a coin counter. Many times I have found gold-plated halves, and dimes. I have also found gold and chrome plated silver dimes. When I listen to LED ZEPPELIN...so do my neighbors... Roll hunting since '77 Dirt fishing since '72 Report this Post to the Staff

RollHunter Pillar of the Community United States 687 Posts	Posted 09/18/2011 10:36 am Someone posted awhile back about finding a 1/10 ounce gold eagle in a penny roll. I've seen a few posts elsewhere reporting the same thing. I'm sure it's not that common. There's also this https://goccf.com/t/98105 thread in the classic coin section, which I guess doesn't count as a coin roll but it pretty close. Report this Post to the Staff
