Did you know the US Mint endorses Coin Roll Hunting?

[Joliet Jake]

Was looking for info on the new buffalo $50, and found this:

http://www.usmint.gov/about_the_mint/collectors_corner/index.cfm?action=Buy_or_find

"Your local bank.
Purchase rolls of coins to search through. "


Now go out and get some rolls!

Also, noted Ikes are not considered circulating coins. Should I buy the 100 or so my favorite teller keeps in a box under his drawer? (They are all common clad.)

I've been keeping every one that I can find, which isn't that many. Only 49 so far. Although I think one of the regional banks in my area has a small stock pile that they are doling out 25 at a time. I don't know how many times I can hit them up.

You can make money selling the Ikes on ebay. Get 100 of them and they will sell for about $120... get 500 and you can usually get about $600. Not a lot but it's still profit.
