...........where are all these newbs coming from................

You are all newbs in my opinion.

My parents were doing it in the late '60s

I grew up playing with the boxes of silver coins and they made big money when silver jumped sky high in the late 70s. Dad kept reinvesting and while never remotely close to the "million dollar club", he managed to leave my mother with enough to keep her comfortable for another few decades.

My brother in law grew up doing it as well and I believe many people I know do it from time to time on a small scale.

So yeah, anyone who began doing it after the '80s is a newbie.

man! how cool we have Warren Buffet on the forum with us?can you please tell me mr.buffet which bank is the best silver producer?

Actually, I have a half dollar castle that sits on 15,500 acres next door.

They only deliver but don't pick-up. Man you must be swimming in coin, or are you just filling up you spare swimming pool with them?

You don't have to be a millionaire to get treated well. You don't have to be a millionaire to be nice to tellers.

In the 35+ years that I've roll hunted, yes, I've told others. In that time, not one single soul showed much interest at all...

Lots of roll hunters back in the late 70's and $50 silver.

We used to throw the 40% back...

We used to throw the 40% back...

Do you mean we are supposed to KEEP the 40%er?

Do you mean we are supposed to KEEP the 40%er?

You mean there are silver halves other than 40%ers?

The reap question here should be- How many of your friends or anyone you told actualy pick up the hobby?? I'm well aware of my friends ambitions, most of them its just drinking, i told him about the collection dump i found and its value.... i think all he heard was. "Bunch of change"..... the masses don't care...

with that being said yes, telling someone who may actually become your competition can be problematic lol like others have said, loose lips sink ships

I have 2 really close friends that we have known each other well over 20 yrs bring their kids over to play for an evening sit and watch me search 10 boxes ( and be here on a killer night of searching) and at the end of the search ( and finding 70 plus keepers) say " Ya, that's cool and all but, you are crazy, I'd never look through all those coins for that Silver". It really takes a dedicated kinda person to do this hobby, a lot will try and just give up after seeing the the YouTube vids they watched aren't really what it's all about, those are just rare moments when someone found a good box.
