See, kids. Solid rolls do happen...

[Mr. Silver Stash]

It was two rolls of 1968D halves. Not a mega find but noteworthy.
Better because my 4 and 7 year old sons were with me at the bank when I got them. First time they saw solid rolls being found. We happened to open them right after we walked out the door.

I'm going through mostly dimes and pennies with them, and the older is doing a state quarter collection. We're sorting for copper pennies and wheats. My 4 year old found a 1903 shiny Indian head himself... he knew it looked different with the Indian on it. I share some of the silver finds with them for their treasure boxes. We found 2 silvers in $100 in CRW the split earlier this week.

Last time I was posting regularly I had no children. But I still pop on to see what's being found. My volume of hunting went from $2-$3k per week in halves to very occasional. Diminishing returns and coin machines getting pulled from banks over time plus getting busy (wife, then kids and started business). It seems the hobby overall slowed down quite a bit.

But it's always fun and IT'S STILL OUT THERE.

Happy hunting!

Congrats on some great finds! I asked my bank the other day if people are CRHing there and the teller said, Yes, but we inspect all wrapped coins that come in and we keep the good coins!

Ahh, I miss those days. Congrats. How cool for the youngsters to be a part of that! I'm trying to wean myself off crh-ing. I used to visit 20-30 banks a week. This was the first week in years I don't remember stopping at one bank. Full rolls used to be a regular thing but I haven't seen one since before covid. I've found some old wax paper and shotgun rolls this year but they weren't full.

Excellent finds - and they seem to be in mint state!
