I don't mark alot of rolls cause my banks in the area have coin counters, but the rolls I do mark I mark with a red sharpie like on one of the edges.

You should mark the rolls Wheat pennies or Buffalo nickels. Play a joke on another coin collector. |

Mark the nickel roll Buffalo nickels or WWII nickels and put all 1964s in the roll. 1964 nickels are the most annoying nickels to come across. I'm tempted to do this to one of my banks. All the tellers collect coins and everytime I go in there they have a few silver coins and buffalos set aside from the day of working. |

Don't mark coins. It's obnoxious. Mark the rolls themselves. A hundred years from now there are going to be a ton of Kennedy coins that would have been collectible but are instead vandalized and damaged.

TenSence, I believe they are talking about marking the rolls, not the coins themselves.

I use a red bingo dabber to dab the roll end open part of all rolls I fill and return to the bank.  That way its not too obvious and I can tell immediately if I get one of them back when I buy rolls. I haven't had any come back to me yet!! The dabber is perfect and easy for me to use. |

I mark a long black line down the side of the roll. The tellers at my banks know what it means and they never give them back to me. They know what I am doing and are always willing to help me get what I need. It has taken 5 years of training to get them to this point but it is a great relationship. I love my tellers!

i don't mark my rolls. right now I can tell you that I'm getting halves with tons of varying symbols, usually marked not on the rolls but on the ends:
"K," "O," a triangle, a star of david, a dot, "R" ("R" btw is my greatest nemesis in the area), "M," and black sharpie marks that run along all the edges of the coins in the roll.
yeah I got what I thought was going to be a prank roll once too. it said 1967 on it and they were all bicentennials, except for one! the guy messed up the supposed prank and put a random 40% in it.

i put
X
cg
on my rolls so I know if I ever get a box back that I already searched
I also mark one corner of the box with the same thing
who knows what to do
I sometimes wonder if the banks return the boxes if the coins are rerolled by the company that gets them anyways

I'm new, but recently started getting "X" rolls. I don't know what to think of X yet. On one hand he's saved me some time with the pre-sorted rolls that I actually needed in my collection, but on the other hand him ripping all the copper out of other rolls and teasing me with the 1982 zincolin's hurts.

I'm guilty of occasionally putting "silver" on rolls of halves... Just some times tho... I like to talk to the teller, and watch 'em sqirm  ... That's for the rolls of bicentenials ... And yes, I do know it is brutal...  |
