Hi all, I’ve been a member of this site for quite some time now, and a lurker long before that. I feel that it is needed to create a thread concerning these "weekly" topics... Perhaps a few times a week or more.
Many newbies have joined this site in the past few months, which is good, and this thread is out there for them, moderate CRH'ers, as well as Vets at CRH.
Treasurenet.com is a great source of valuable information you will get nowhere else. I happened to stumble across this website out of luck, and I don't think I would be CRH'ing if I hadn't joined this website, let alone be doing the volume I do (which is small compared to some members on here)- but volume nonetheless.
There are a few topics that are brought up more than they should be brought up, this is an attempt to get all CRH related questions up here so many other's can help out a fellow CRH'er, or somebody who wants to get into CRH.
*Note: this is not anything trying to deter posts or anything, just simply a "Help" forum for some common questions. We'll see how this goes.
Some CRH related questions that are brought up many times...
HOW DO I CRH? WHAT DOES CRH MEAN?- CRH means coin roll hunting. It is very simple, and you don't need a large amount of money to get started. You can score some collectible coins with as little as pennies on the dollar, but if you want to do larger volumes, you can buy boxes(or bricks) of coins.
WHAT IS A BOX(OR BRICK) OF COINS?
-A box(or brick) of coins is literally 50 rolls of coins packaged into a box for easy transport, handling, and buying, usually for large businesses.
WHAT DENOMINATIONS ARE THESE BOXES(OR BRICKS) OF COINS?
-The denominations of Boxes(or bricks) of coins are of the following listed below.
Pennies- $25 Also, pennies are typically associated with the color red, hence the red box.
Nickels- $100 Also, nickels are typically associated with the color blue, hence the blue box.
Dimes- $250, sometimes you can get $500 boxes, though I have never personally saw a $500 box. Dimes are typically associated with the color green, hence the green box.
Quarters- $500, Also, quarters are typically associated with an orange color, hence the orange box.
Half dollars- $500, Also, halves are typically associated with the color yellow hence the yellow box.
WHAT DENOMINATION IS THE BEST TO SEARCH?
First off, no denomination is consistent with what is produced, though quarters tend to produce less than dimes, but when returning coins, sometimes dimes will be counted as pennies giving you a $0.09 LOSS if you happen to use a coin counter that cannot accurately tell apart a dime from a penny.
SKUNK STREAKS
In this hobby, skunk streaks refer to the amount of boxes that not a single keeper is pulled from. It is not unusual to go on a 10+ half dollar box skunk streak, and not unusual to go on a 5+ skunk streak on dimes or quarters.
DO COIN PROVIDERS SEARCH THROUGH MY COIN BEFORE I PURCHASE THEM?
No! Coin providers do not cull through coins as far as the general public is aware of, it is US who cull the silver and take advantage of the system, this explains skunk streaks listed above.
AM I THE ONLY CRH’er IN THE AREA IN WHICH I LIVE IN?
Generally there are not many CRH’ers; however, there are more than you think, more CRH’ers who are not members of this site. I can almost guarantee there is another CRH’er lurking less than 1 hour of where you live, also, if you live in a big city: New York, Philadelphia, Los Angeles, there are probably hundreds, if not thousands of CRH’ers in the area.
DO COIN BOXES GENERALLY PRODUCE BETTER IN CERTAIN REGIONS?
There is a theory that coin boxes produce better on the east coast, which I come to realize is not entirely true; however, there are more people living on the east coast, making there be more CRH’ers which means more volume searched. The more you search, the better the chances of scoring big.
HOW MUCH IS 1 ROLL OF COINS?
Pennies are $0.50 rolls
Nickels are $2.00 rolls
Dimes are $5.00 rolls
Quarters are $10.00 Rolls
Half dollars are $10.00 rolls
Small dollars are $25.00 rolls
Large dollars are $20 rolls(these are general Eisenhower dollars minted from 1971-1978)
MY BANK WANTS TO CHARGE ME A FEE TO ORDER BOXES OF COIN
Banks will charge fees to order coin sometimes. You either pay the fee or find a new bank. There are plenty of fish in the sea, but sometimes finding free bait is hard. (Referring to US as fish, and the bait as coin boxes).
PLEASE, ASK QUESTIONS ABOUT THIS HOBBY. IF YOU FEEL THE NEED TO CORRECT, ADD, OR EXPRESS A FEELING TOWARD A TOPIC, PLEASE EXPRESS IT! YOUR HELP IS GREATLY APPRECIATED.
