Faster roll checking

[saturn19]

The best ideas are simple,mine's no exception. I'm calling this device a Rollpick™. It reduces roll loading and unloading time alot. Built it out of file folder material, it generally lasts a few thousand coins. The size pictured below is for dimes.

Step 1: Unloading the roll

Step 2: Checking the rims

Step 3: Reloading the roll (the coins slide in at angle)

Thanks for pointing this out for other CRH'ers... All my rolls in my area are clear-wrapped, therefore I do not need one of those to spot silver...

Very similar to this technique that I posted here about dimes. I use it for all silver edge searching of coin rolls myself.

I use a side/bottom corner of a small rectangular plastic food container. It holds the stack in alignment for edge-searching, then you can tilt and slide the stack right back into the roll. Your setup is certainly a lot smaller and much more portable than mine. Very ingenious and very well done!
