New Coin Roll Hunter

[Bryan V]

Hi everyone.
I just discovered coin roll hunting a couple weeks ago.
Don't know how I missed it. I have been metal detecting off and on for many years so you
would of thought I would have known about it.
Anyway, I have been searching half dollars and have a small stack (8 - 40%ers) started and today I scored my first 2 90s. Both in nice shape!
Also found a mint mark error on a 1982 that I'm hoping will be worth a couple bucks.
It got me excited enough to finally post on the site.
I have learned a lot reading everyone's post so I want to say thanks.

Welcome to the CRH forum!

Are your finds from boxes, or customer wraps(CWR's)?

Both. I found 2 my first time from some machine rolled so I ordered 4 boxes from 2 different banks but only found 1
40% in $2000.00 worth of coins. I started picking up random costumer raps and loose till coins and the find percentage seems to be much better.
It's less stressful too. I don't plan on hitting it real heavy. Probably a couple hundred a week of half dollars and
I'm starting pennies to.

Hi Bryan, and welcome. Those 64's are pretty.

My only advice is this.. Some people take this way to seriously, people can get very sensitive to certain topics. Don't stress it if they do, who made them commander of CRH ??

Keep @ it and HH !!

Hey Bryan, welcome to the madness! believe me, you will not just do a couple hundred a week... that's how everybody starts out and things escalate from there... I hope to read more great finds from you in the future, are you in an area wth banks that have coin counting machines (that don't charge a fee to use)?

Yes my credit union has a machine but I can only put in $200 a day with no fees.
trouble is that I live up in the sticks and only get to town a couple times a week.
If I could find a place to dump a grand or two a week I would be all over it.

I would advise you to do nickels or pennies if you're limited to $200 a day at the credit union. Or see if you can do a $1000 dump once a week (5 days X $200 a day), instead of making trips there several times a week.

Ya good idea. Ill have to talk with a manager to see what my options are.
I thought about checking in to some type of business account or offering to keep a certain amount of money in a savings account to gain some kind of a deal for dumping.
What do businesses do that deal in large amounts of coins? There must be a way.

I've worked out deals with banks for ordering (boxes of half's), but it should also work for dumping.
These banks said absolutely not, we will not order any boxes. Then I said, how much money would I have to park in my account to get you to order, and they all caved, and for less money then I thought it would take. Two banks said deposit 1K and we will order you 1K every week, one other made the same deal with either 1K or 2K, my choose. I do believe this would work for dumping too (though I have never had to try it) as banks love to have your money in them.
Good luck!

My credit union has no problem with me ordering them. I ordered 4 boxes between two branches. I am just overwhelmed with coins I need to dump now.
I also was not impressed with the boxes. 1 40% er in 4 boxes. All my other silver came from just picking up 3 to 10
rolls at a time. One time I spotted a silver out of 5 coins in a till. Much higher percentage of silver finds.
Maybe 4 brinks boxes isn't enough of a test.
Do most of you guyes pretty much stick with full box orders on a regular basis?

Depends on your area but 1 in 4 box is looking good in my books- actually id say 1 per box is probably the norm on here- but ya if you can find the loose cwr or teller trays those odds are usually a lot better- and a lot less work finding the ag

just keep stacking, just keep stacking, stacking stacking stacking

Hey Bryan, welcome. I just started a few months ago so I don't have the experience that some do on here. I'm lucky if I do a few hundred a week. I would like to do more but can't at the moment. I find a lot of coins in the teller trays and CWRs. That might be hard for you because you only have 2 banks to go to. You should tell the banks what you are looking for and maybe if they see some old looking rolls or writing on the rolls they will put them aside for you....that is if not one else has asked. Good luck.

Welcome aboard! The mint mark error is just from a chip I believe. Not really worth more than face.

ya I figured It probably wasn't worth much but I was hoping for maybe a couple bucks.
I put it on ebay just for fun and I have a .99 cent bid on it so far with 5 days to go.
If I can clear $3 it would be like finding a 40%er.
