coin roll hunting
Coin roll hunting is a no loss, except for time and gas, method of finding silver cheap. I used to do it quite a bit and had some success but over time I found less and less silver in any rolls. I almost always hunted half dollar rolls because they were usually less circulated thus less chance of the silver finding it's way into collectors hands.
These are a few pics of a very successful hunted box.
thanks

I really love seeing those silver bands popping out among the copper. If I found 6 in one roll I probably would have been rolling on the floor like a kid at Christmas.
my son did a lot of this. He found a roll with all silver. The box ended up with 22 per ounce. He couldn't believe it. Some guys grand pa was probably pissed when he found his coins missing.
I've tried this in the past, now that my daughter is a little older and she is showing interest in growing her own stack I think we will try again! Thanks for the post. Upvoted and following!
I bet so. I have gone to my local bank to hunt through rolls. Never been able to find private collection that someone wanted to get rid of.
Exchanged about $700 and found about 4 coins. Not great, but better than nothing.
I've never had much luck searching rolls. A few 40% silver halves from time to time. I think if I found just one Franklin in a roll, I'd think it was Christmas morning.
Nice finds and thx for shring the photos... following and upvoted.
