I want to begin coin roll hunting, but my current bank searches their couns before rolling them. How do you find a bank that doesn't do this if you dont mind me asking?

You go to a different one.

How do you know they have searched them?

I was getting a box of dimes, and the teller told me, you know these are searched through right?

I've had plenty of tellers tell me that silver has been gone from circulation since 1950. Do I believe them? Nope. Buy all their searched coins, I guarantee you'll find some keeper (s).

Oh you have much to learn- if you believe everything a teller tells you.....
Just buy them but please read through some of the posts here on newbie etiquette- maybe the newbie thread should be updated with this valuable info

All coin rolls are unsearched if you haven't opened them.

Many tellers don't even seem to be interested in searching coins they have in their trays....thankfully. :3coins:

Yea, last week the only halves at one of the banks I checked ended up being the 6 in one of the teller trays and one of the halves was a 1967.

Tellers just guess. I have accounts at three banks. I pick up at two and dump at the third. A teller gave me TEN silver Morgan and Peace dollars late last year. I have bought some of the rolls off the net, some good, some not. The dealers made money on them but I did pick up some silver.

I dunno. The bank rolls their own coins. I'm new to this, that's no secret. I did good on wheats today though, and 1970s pennies

Don't always trust the tellers, I have had several times where a teller has handed me halves and said " there's no silver ones in there" and there would be 4 40's mixed in, she didn't know about the 65 to 70's being 40% silver. HH, Maverick.

Even coins that HAVE been searched still have goodies in them. I bought some halves today that were obviously searched by a roll hunter - teller told me a customer who buys halves and looks through them brought them back just the day before. They were all check-marked with a sharpie. I have only gone through about $50 so far and found a '68. From the edge, it can almost pass as a clad. People miss silver sometimes. Best rule is to always buy them all.
