I was just reading the recent issue of the Numismatic News, and the headline on the front page reads the same as the thread title. Here is a CRH'er that searches boxes of cents. He's a bit particular by sorting and rolling the copper keepers by year and mintmark. This guy started in 1998 sorting boxes. Eventually, his hoarding got out of hand and he began returning the coppers to the bank. He had already returned $300-$400 worth when a fellow coin club member asked him if he had any remaining rolls of S mints from '68-'74. The inquisitive coin club member sparked this guy's interest and he began looking up errors and varieties and their worth. He ended up searching through his 1969-S rolls this spring. The fourth coin down in the first roll out of 20, he finds the 1969-S DDO#1. This particular error has only 39 examples graded by the two major grading services (PCGS and NGC). The last one that sold at auction in a similar grade sold for $126,500 in 2008.
Keep searching, you never know what is out there.
