Roll Hunting, What Is Your Technique?

I gave up roll searching about 20 to 30 years ago. I also used to get bags of coins from the banks. Lately it takes to much time and you usually are searching rolls that someone else jusp went through and put back into the bank.

Shavill, I just got back into roll searching because I retired. I buy $50 bags every week. I have little plastic tubs that I sort by year but only include certain years that have double dies,WAM's, RDV-006, etc.
I then go through the entire bag looking at the obverse only and either sort or look closely depending on what I remember for errors.Also put aside all copper for resale. Then sort through the tubs looking for specific things so I don't get confused between WAM's,CAM's, or double dies. I have found quite a few nice pennies worth anywhere from $3 up to $150.

probably talking about pre 1982 pennies if I had to guess, Shavill

I found a bank that lets me exchange rolls of coins for their rolls. Not every bank takes rolls of coins in exchange for other rolls.
I get as many rolls of cents as I can afford. I ask the teller for the older cent rolls, usually brown cents. I get the professional bank rolled
coins, or if they have them, customer-rolled coins. I do get excited if I find a wheatie since they are very rare. I normally go through
the cents looking for double dies, wheaties, BU, nice toned, several error coins that I can remember like 1970-S, or anything else that looks interesting.
The rest, I re-roll and send back to the bank for another exchange of rolls. Sometimes it gets boring, because of ugly coins, and mostly 1990-2010 coins.
I have found Canadian cents, including a BU 2006 Canadian cent, wheaties, Indian Head cents, newer BU's, culls, I save the copper coins from 1959-1981 and put them together in a bag or coin tubes, and I separate the 1982's also, since some 1982's are copper and some aren't. I love finding great toned coins no matter what year. I also separate the questionable coins in a separate bag. Questionable meaning they may be error or whatever else that I found interesting about the coin.

One by one. I just ordered two boxes of Lincolns from my bank today. I'll post what I find.

ok shavill, here are some secrets from a roll hunting expert with about 2,000 hrs under his belt:

1) when you walk up to the teller demand loudly that she hand you 4-6 boxes of half dollars.
2) reply to teller that she has 1 minute to place them on the counter so that you can exchange bills for them.
3) when teller refuses, flip teller the bird.
4) wait until manager comes over to assist.
5) flip manager the bird, slowly, while he attempts to explain how difficult it is to get that many boxes.
6) bitterly mock manager.
7) flip manager and/or teller the bird while walking away.

I know it seems to be sarcastic that you've got a lot of posts in this community under your belt.

But I created this to be helpful, and to enjoy the discussion. Thanks for looking and reading, but if you could...not be so sarcastic next time would be awesome.

I get boxes and/or bags from several different banks, search through them keeping all copper and other dates known to have errors, and dump the rest back to a different bank where I have my major account so they don't grumble too much at the change. They have a coin counter, so there is no rolling involved on my part. Also, none of the banks in our area take CWR so I can't get them - just the boxes of rolls from String & Son.
