Bought 50$ Worth Of Halves, Dimes, Nickels. Result=zilch

... Keep your head up, it takes a good while to hone your roll-hunting skills, and a dash of good luck... At least you can get rolls of halves in your area

50$ is not a lot when you start buying halves and larger denomination coins

If your looking for more coins to search , try buying 2 boxes of cents .

That will give you a lot of chances to find varieties, errors, wheats and so on

I can pretty much make the statement " search two boxes and you will find something "

I always find something in a box.
My most recent finds although I have not had time the last few weeks to search have been
worn g-grade 1912-d , 1960-p small date ,1955-d rpm ,wheats usually 15-20 per box sometimes more

most banks have them just need to ask normally they will need to go to the vault to get them so I normally ask when they are not busy
and for the folks on the cheap next time you get 50 cents or more in change at the gas station ask for a roll of cents instead of 2 quarters that is if you see they have a roll in the till

a box is $25 and I have found some nice coins by picking up rolls from the store rather than a bank I even ask for nickles if I am due $2 might get some funny looks
my standard reply if they ask is "poker game "
