Thinking about coin roll searching! Odds?

[danny1987]

What are the odds of finding silver in a roll? Is it even worth just buying a roll at a time?

what are u planning on searching? buying one roll at a time would probably not yield many keepers. i would buy as many as i could, then just take the rejects back.

Odds are bad.
I wouldn't waste my time like that.

50 cent pieces. How many should i get to make it worth it?

Per my other post, I found around 57 silver halves over the course of searching around $30,000 worth or 60,000 halves. That's 57/60000 or about 1 in ever 1000 searched.

On the other hand, I have had really good luck searching halves. I tend to find an average of about 15-20 silvers per $1000 bag, although I have had skunks and also bags with 100+ keepers...

Sheer volume produces the best results.

Umm, apparently not. I believe it's all about location. I believe that I live in an area that has more people who put silver into circulation and less competition trying to take it out.

I don't see how you can say that volume produces results with the meager findings of seattleMD (no offense) as compared to mine and others. I usually find more silver in $2000 worth than Seattle did in $30,000.

You can try one roll at a time, but it is a numbers game the more you search the more you find. Good luck!

you can (sometimes) make a buck off this but there's about a million other things that you can make a buck off of and can be less of a hassle. treat it as a hobby or you'll be disappointed after a couple inevitable skunks in a row

There is no doubt that location plays a large roll. IE....... LJ......... But his question was, odds of finding silver in a single roll.

Not so good.
