So what is it your doing? Getting boxes? From where? I'm confused but very interested.

Basically, you order boxes of coins from a bank for face value, and then search for silver, or any interesting coins.


Cents = $25 box
Nickels = $100 box
Dimes = $250 box
Quarters (worst to search) = $500 box
Half Dollars (best to search) = $500
Dollars (not commonly searched) = $1000? box



The dollars you would want to search are Eisenhower dollars (the big ones), but you can't find them usually at a bank, and the golden dollars are not worth searching, unless you search for errors.


Read the "Beginners Guide to Coin Roll Hunting" and you can find out more (first thread).

I know this is off topic, but are those gold sovereigns on the bottom of your avatar? What are the ones on the top?
