I guess it’s kinda simple, just never heard of this before, but how do you know the roll has not been searched through already?
I started roll hunting back in the mid 1970’s, and have found thousands of silvers and old coins since. You don’t care if the roll is searched or not, and always buy ‘em all. I’ve found numerous solid silver rolls this way. I usually carried a couple grand in cash and go on road trips to numerous banks in surrounding counties. I scored the goods.I guess it’s kinda simple, just never heard of this before, but how do you know the roll has not been searched through already?
Wait you buy them from the bank? Don’t they pull out the silver? Are you still finding in them to this day? Sorry for all the questions, this just intrigues me

I bought over $150k in coin from banks in six years, not a lot compared to some roll hunters. I quit a few years back but still find silver in my change, it’s why I use 99.9% cash on purchases, I’m a coin nerd and I find old coins every year.Wait you buy them from the bank?

Based on my experience, dimes are the best coin to search for and get consistent results.I found over 100 silver coins CRHing last year. I go to the bank, buy a few boxes of coins(usually dimes). Then I go home and search through them. After I've searched and pulled out any silver, I dump them in a bucket and take them to a bank that has a coin counting machine, where they give me cash for the coins. Then repeat.
Oops! So why’d you let the bank short you? Don’t let them off so easily. I had shortages but I usually knew in advance how many dimes I’d run through the counter. The coins (dimes) didn’t just disappear, but were misdirected into the penny bags and laying right on top. I was credited each time for the difference, although I had to first bring it to their attention.My story with coin roll hunting was it was fun finding a silver dime now and then But every single time I took the coins back and had them run thru their counter I got shorted a few bucks. So long story short it ended up costing me money in the long run. By the time you figure driving around to banks for time gas and effort was a losing deal for me. I guess if I would have found a few solid rolls like some people have I would feel different I guess. Kudos to the guys doing well tho..
Agree 100%Yep true AMC all hobbies cost a guy I guess. Kinda like deer hunting a guy could buy some really nice ribeyes and then some for what that costs..

It sounds like some folks have horrible relationships with their financial institutions...I wouldn’t put up with anything like that, period, and honestly have never had to. Why would you? There are dozens of banks and CU’s out there to choose from. You’re not stuck with the one you haveI’ve had multiple issues with coin counting machines shorting the customers. There is an external reject tray and TWO internal trays. Once they captured 11 half dollars of mine. Often they refuse to open them and even then will try and avoid giving you what’s inside claiming you can’t prove they are yours. Google will,tell you about a number of law suits. One family was shorted $44 out of $448.
I’ve decided to paint my coins yellow before putting them in.
I’ve also contacted a local tv news investigator in the hopes he will check it out.
