I coin roll hunt very frequently and find it a worth hobby.
Each week I go through about:
$2000 in halves
$2,000 in dimes
$500 in nickels
$500 in pennies
I do not do this alone, but have one other person I coinroll hunt with. Although this may seem like a lot to look through, we have perfected a system of opening and probably only spend two-four hours a week doing this when it is dark out.
We have been coinroll hunting probably 9 months and this is what I estimate our finds to be:
Wheats: 3,000 keepers+ (about 10 wheats per box)
Indian Heads-10+ keepers
Wartime Nickels-150+ keepers (usually at least one per box)
Buffalo Nickels- 40+ keepers
V Nickels-6 keepers
Rosies-150+ keepers (about one per box)
Mercuries 8 keepers
Quarters-2 keepers (not worth purchasing)
Halves:
140+ 40% silver half dollars
60+ 90% Kennedy half dollars (42 in one box kind of inflates the number)
10 Franklin Half Dollars
4 Walking Liberty Half Dollars
We also find plenty of proof, foreign, and commemorative coins as well
This is a great hobby if you have spare time at night or are looking for something to do on a rainy day.
Good luck coinroll hunting if you decide to give it a go
