Hey, I've never been a roll hunter, but I've always been a pocket change searcher. Anytime I get change somewhere, I check it out. I've had some great finds this way. I swear one store where I used to work would always give me something interesting once a week, and I didn't even tell the clerk I liked coins. It was like whoever shopped there paid with old coins half the time.
In any case, how do people sort? Do you use any sort of device to split the copper from zinc, and silver from copper, etc? Do you go by feel of the coin, or do you inspect each one, etc. Obviously going through rolls and rolls sounds like it takes a lot of man power. I'm almost wondering if a $100 electric sorter is a good investment to at least filter the out the metal contents, and then to start inspecting closer from there.
