Guys, thank you for wishes and recommendations! By the way where do other guys get boxes with halves?? I asked in my branch they said they do not have them
I've roll hunted since the late 1970's, and have held accounts with over a half-dozen banks at a time to keep my supplied with coin. You should be able to find a bank that will order boxes of coin for you. When finished searching, always dump your leftovers at a different bank than where you've bought, that's a courtesy that will keep the tellers happy!
I normally edge-hunt, and I like to have about $1k-$3k at a time to search.
I like dimes, because I can consistently find silver roosevelts, mercury, barbers and canadians. I pick up bags from coin counters, and have banks hold all the rolls that customers bring in.
The one key to successful roll hunting is to search VOLUMES of coin.
I was searching $30k-$50k per year for awhile, which may not be considered much to some, but it's all I had time for due to work, etc...
With current low silver prices, people are dumping collections for the simple reason that money is tight; and the local jeweler/coin dealer isn't paying much at all for silver...not all crh'ers sell their finds though, matter of fact I've sold only a few coins that I've found over the years.
Good luck in the hunt.
