sorry to bump this but there are alot of newbies out there who don't know the rules.
btw let me add a few that i don't see covered.
#29 DO NOT CHERRYPICK THE SILVER AT THE BANK
#30 DO NOT DUMP AT THE SAME BANK YOU GOT THE COINS FROM
i know to some of us this is stating the obvious but it needs to be pointed out that these practices will cause the banks to tire of us and either end by refusing to deal with us or worse charge us fees.

By the way, your map shows you are about 1500 miles from where I live. I didn't know that would impact your CRH'ing from here, them tellers must be unionized I tell ya.......

No, but your closer to me so please stop doing it.

Ok, Just for you....

Rule 31 (If I've followed along correctly):
"Scoring Finds":
The following was posted long ago and has become the defacto criteria for grading finds:
"Mega Dream Find!" = 50% of the total number of coins are silver (500+ coins per $500 box)
"Super Dream Find!" = 25% of the total number of coins are silver(250+ coins per $500 box)
"Dream Find!" = 10% of the total number of coins are silver (100+ coins per $500 box)
"Semi-Dream Find" = 5% of the total number of coins are silver (50+ coins per $500 box)
"Great Find" 2% of the total number of coins are silver (20+ coins per $500 box)
"Good Find" 1% of the total number of coins are silver (10+ coins per $500 box)
"Average Find" >0% of the total number of coins are silver (1+ coins per $500 box)
"Skunk!" = No silver

Rule 22 - Do NOT make YouTube videos of yourself Coin Roll Hunting. I mean no disrespect to those that have made videos of themselves because I truly do enjoy the videos. However it only shows people how EASY CRHing is and if more people see how easy it is the supply of silver will run out faster than you can blink your eyes. Also, what happens if some bigwig at a banks sees these videos? I realize that they already know people CRH, but seeing a video of it might make something click in his/her head and make them want to cut it off for good.

Remember, this is a fragile hobby and it takes just one person to enact a rule or policy that could make it hard or shut it down for good

Also, if they want to find out about Coin Roll Hunting, they can come to the forum and learn about it themselves. That's how I learned. If its meant to happen....it will.

Most of these rules are good rules to follow. Newbies should know that the first three rules are optional. You don't need to announce what your doing to the world, but you also don't need to make up elaborate lies a out what your doing.

As for youtube videos do whatever you want. Your video is just a drop in the bucket compared to the thousands of videos already out there. These rules were put out years ago when youtube wasn't really that big of a deal.

 

[mark1982]

I was lucky enough to have a veteran CRH teach me the ropes before I even found this forum. I remember the first thing he said to me was don't reroll and don't **** where you eat. ( don't dump into your supply). After that everything else was easy. Be nice to tellers, show them you appreciate them helping you, spread it out, try not to beat up the same banks, etc etc.

One of the differences i can see in recent years is a sense of entitlement that people have. They assume because they are a customer at a bank that they are entitled to order as much as they want or dump as much as they want with out a problem. While I agree that banks are there to provide a service dealing with currency , I disagree with taking advantage of them. That's why I fee we see people getting cut off more frequently. People are not establishing good relationships with tellers before they start bombarding them with coins. HH

i am new to coin roll hunting, my best find is a 1942 nickel (not silver)

These rules are funny.

Searching for silver coins was fun in 1965. It was profitable until the early 1980s. When silver hit $50 an ounce and inflation was over 18%... coins became almost valueless. Nothing much has changed since then. One cent is valueless and kids throw them at each other. 5 Cents coin is nothing but a sales tax token (5% sales tax is common). 10 cent coins are very small in size, so they are popular to keep as pocket change. A month's worth of 10 Cent coins saved ends up being just enough to buy a 12-pack of beer at a grocery store.

The only circulating coin with value is the 25 Cents coin. But... if you go to a vending machine, it takes 4-6 of them to buy a bottle of cold soda. Hardly worthy of keeping as pocket change because of their weight and bulkiness.

You can't get the average person to spent 50 Cent coins or 1 Dollar coins because there is a piece of paper that says 1 Dollar on it. Paper weighs less than coins.

Very few people... if any... are making a 'profit' searching for silver in bank rolls or bank bags. I don't search for silver myself because I know from past experience that it's all been hoarded. The only silver that shows up now is from people who spend it. The odds of being THAT PERSON who is next in line to buy those coins at face value is barely more than the odds of being hit by lightening in a storm.

So... these 'rules' are a bunch of empty words. All that matters is... be a 'profitable' customer at a bank and be courteous to everyone else... MAYBE you might be THAT PERSON once or twice a year.

Nobody watches Youtube videos unless they appear to be porny or are about famous people. These corny Youtube coin searching videos are not convincing anybody to coin roll search for silver because they won't find any silver other than by random chance once or twice the first 100 rolls. Frustrating/ and not going to make the searcher popular or rich.

I would venture to guess than less than half of ALL the people who are coin roll searching for silver actually post on a board like this.

Therefore... thanks for the advice, but I'll take it for what it's worth... less than the value of one dollar coin.

Maybe I'll explain why the banks still let people coin roll search without any fee to buy or sell all this mostly valueless coin that doesn't circulate much anymore because the banks and businesses prefer electronic 'money' IF they are engaged in legal businesses and aren't running income/ sales tax avoidance scams.

Thank you in advance for your time. PS- yes, I AM coin roll searching for nickels just because it is fun and passes the time... and is cheaper than going to the bar and drinking alcohol.

Just saw this posting, nice button! Now the big question. What does this have anything to do with rules of CRH? Lol!

 

[Dannycoco]

I get silver from banks every week. Both from crw and mrw. I hit 6 solid rolls a few weeks ago. And that's not the first time I've gotten full rolls. Your not gonna find it if you don't look.

Boy you've had a lot on your mind. This forum and thread has a lot of value, no need to throw stones at it. I don't know of one person that has ever posted here trying to get rich or make a living off this. Like your final sentence states "it is fun and passes the time". Maybe some spend more time with the hobby than others... But it is a hobby.

The advice here is to make the hobby easier manage, to have more fun with it... Remember advice is free - it's not worth a damn thing unless you put it to good use.

Yeah, these rules were put together many years ago, they aren't funny. If you don't like them, then please ignore them. I personally don't care what you think of them. Just keep it to yourself. How would you feel if everyone read your posts and said "searching nickels is stupid"!

 

[FormerTeller]

Nickel Sorter 2017 is quite correct. No silver to be found in rolls. Nothing to see here, move along...

 

[ugotit22]

yup no money to be made, and this isnt even the silver Ive pulled over the years which by rough estimate is north of 20k. Dont quit your day job nickel

Why do we even have this forum if all it does is hurt the hobby? BTW... I am on a serious skunk streak and would not recommend anyone try this hobby. Stick with metal detecting or picking through flea markets or something. /s
