Marking rolls of coins to alert potential holders the rolls are silver free?

[Louie D]

Is there any accepted practice for identifying rolls of coins you've rolled yourself as already being worked over for silvers? Some discreet marking CRH hunters would recognize at a glance?

I'm busy working to liquidate my 5 gallon water bottle coin jar, and will probably have $1500 in quarters alone when all is said and done. My bank(s) in the area no longer have coin sorting/counting machines and will no longer accept bags of coins from a non-business account, so I'm forced to hand roll my stash. At least they gave me some free coin wrappers.

The forthcoming nickel/dime/quarter rolls may contain some rare modern coins, but no silver, that's for sure.

TIA for any input.

Was the message correct?

I get the same square boxes, but my skunks, 19 in a row now, are not advertised.

The message was correct, but like I mentioned the box contained customer wrapped rolls, not mint wrapped. There was about $380 if I remember correctly. In my area I've never seen square boxes like this, at it for about 6 years now.

First if they are CWR then unless they opened each one and searched it how do they know there are no silver? And that is time consuming for a business to do that.

I get these boxes every so often, around here they come from Guarda and Brinks, Loomis has the rectangular boxes with yellow printing

Looks like you live near Detroit. TCF Bank has coin counting machines. This is the only bank I have joined because of Coin Roll Hunting. Also some credit unions have coin counting machines.

Keep on Searching

Thanks for the info, I live a block away from a TCF bank.

Unfortunately, I'm not interested in opening a new bank account for a one time event so I'm stuck going the hand rolled route. On the good side, so far I've discovered a silver nickel, dime and quarter during the sort phase.

Why are you letting the next hunter take your rare modern coins?

I’m not too fond of NIFC halves, scuffed IH’s, dateless buffalos, 1938 and newer Jefferson nickels, etc, and lately even wheaties. So, I dump them by the hundreds hoping to spur new collectors. That saying - one man’s trash...

I opened 6 accounts at 6 different banks, each only required $10 to have no fee checking

Ben, how easy is it to juggle six different checking accounts and keep them active?

Need the money.

I'm gonna look for Wisconsin quarters and the potential leaf varieties, any thing else I can look for in quarters?

Not hard at all! you only have to deposit $1 once a year to keep them active, you can then withdraw it if you want. One bank did something interesting, I opened two accounts and put $10 in each then I put an extra $1 in and set up an automatic transfer from one to the other and then back the next day so once a month it puts a dollar in each account and keeps them active without me doing anything. I have all the accounts written down so I know which is which. I also have a card with the numbers in my wallet, sonce there is only $10 in each and no overdraft protection I doni't care if someone drains it, the banks require the account number when using the coin counter

CUDS abound on State Qtrs., '92 to '98 Eagles have vast array of obv/rev die cracks, lots of greasers on eagles & States, O/C's are rare but have value. never found a Wi. leaf ----yet

Dang Port Ewen Ace! I'd sell ALL my 40% for that price. Feebay?

I just got a box where 80% of the individual coins were marked with a sharpie. It tells me I am downstream from an idiot. What a waste of time to mark each coin lol. I am assuming they looked for errors etc if they have that much free time. It does make it mildly interesting to see how they'll disperse. I opened a few rolls and dumped the box without searching it once I saw the pattern.

I wonder how far our coins go. My wife had a skunk box with over 70% marked with a sharpie at the end of December. Of course I dumped them without removing the marks & wonder if you might have gotten them now.

I do the "Where's George" marking dollar bills and people downstream enter them in the computer and you can see where they went and how it took to get there. I have had several go from Boston to California and others to Florida, some get entered a year or more after I marked them.

 

[cyberdan]

Even if the rolls were marked, any CRHer worth his salt will still search them.

Sometimes those ugly dark 40% JFKs get missed.

That makes sense, I am in California. So those people going from Boston to CA of FL are called snowbirds. See it every winter,they bring their $$ with them. Good for our local economy, I live in a tiny tourist town.

In the past a few times I would put an old year (like 1964 or 1950) on the wrapper or the word silver. We all get CWR in old dingy wrappers, they are what I would use. Didn’t do it a lot, just enough to give another Hunter a short thrill when the teller hands him the roll.

OK, now you all don’t jump on me for being mean.

 

[Ben Cartwright SASS]

I think that is a great idea, get excited since the CRH is probably going to get them anyway

The only reason to mark a wrapper is so you don't buy them again.
