Has anyone tried coin roll hunting? The idea is, there are (a few) rare/key dates out in circulation, so you just buy coin rolls from a bank and comb through them, hoping to get lucky...

This sounds crazy but I've done it and got some choice coins and silver but nothing seriously valuable.
Now I'm telling you this as someone in his fifties (yeah, boomer) and I had a paper route in the mid/late 70's. Back then everyone would pay cash weekly or pay check for a month. I would get tons of coins and every Tuesday I would cash them in with the distributor, along with many other delivery boys. I took my cut in rolled coins and after I went thru them, I'd re-roll them and take them to a bank and swap the rolled pennies and nickels for rolled half dollars and there was always a fuckton on silver halves in the rolls...mind you this was back in the 70's just a decade or so after the silver swap out so many were still in circulation. I kept them for years and still have about $1000 face value of silver coins worth thousands from back then...never found anything rare or valuable tho. I'm not even Jewish, just Catholic.

Yes hes bullshitting unless he knows someone at the bank that specifically picks out good rolls for him or something or he is that 1 lucky person out of many. He probably is also factoring in the money he makes from youtube to. Coin roll hunting is something to do as a hobby not as a job. A lot of times you won't find shit. Like maybe 1 - 3 silver dimes of a box of $250 dimes. Key dates for coins are rare to. You could find more silver or key date coins if you're lucky. Often none. You're better off just buying the silver coins from your personal favorite online metals shop. It's a lot of time spent looking at coins for key dates, reroll the junk back up, then spend gas to send it back to the bank.

I got a good portion of my silver by doing this. With that said, I've been doing it for years and I can tell you that hunting through dimes and quarters is pointless. The only thing worth buying is half dollars. I've found entire rolls of silver by doing this. The other alternative is buying pennies and looking for coppers and wheats. The latter is not really worth it in terms of monetary gain but it's kind of fun. With that said, if you want to make money, only buy halves. When I'm done I dump all of my shit halves (non silvers) in the coin machine at my local credit union and get cash.

They're really not if you just make a day of it. Pick an area you're going to hunt. Say you're going to go to the city to find coins. Drive to the city and stop at every bank you see along the way. You'll find some banks that have halves and some that don't but many of them will.
Sometimes a bank will have like 500 dollars in halves. Those are usually "dump banks" where a CRH (coin roll hunter) dumps their shit coins. If you have limited cash don't spend it all at a place you think might be a dump bank. Maybe just buy 100 dollars with of coins if you only took 500 dollars with you at those places.
Other banks might have like 2 rolls on hand. Sometimes these are the banks where you might hit the "jackpot" where some crack head or ignorant person turned in grandpa's coin collection for a quick buck. I've gone to banks like this and found entire rolls of half dollars, san fransico mint coins, etc... etc... It doesn't always happen but every once in a while you get lucky.
About 50% of the time you'll spend 4-5 hours of your day hunting and find nothing. 40% of the time you'll find maybe between 2-3 40% silver halves and maybe 1 90% half and the other 10% of the time you'll hit the "jackpot" and find an entire roll of silver and highly valuable collectible coins.
>tldr
You'll usually just break even or lose a few bucks in gas but sometimes you get lucky and get a shitload of silver basically for free. I say this as someone who has been coin roll hunting off and on for the past 10 years.

It's probably because you were an anti-social retard. Generally their policy is that you need to be apart of the bank but if you actually ask nicely they'll usually just give you halves, especially they've been sitting on the coins for a while. Every once in a while they'll be anal retentive about membership but 80% of the time it's not a problem, especially if you just tell them you're a coin collector and are looking for something interesting (without mentioning silver specifically).

1964 on back is 90% silver. If I remember correctly, 1969-1965 is 40% silver. You can only get 40% silver in half dollars though. If for example you were to find a quarter dated 1965, 1966, etc... etc... it would be a shit coin with no silver content.

That's the hard part... You're probably not going to be selling for a long time, and if you do it's going to be in small amounts (generally). Dealers will rip you off. You need to find other people who both understand the value of silver, are willing to take it as a legitimate currency, and not rip you off.

If you're going to sell your silver, sell it to people who are educated on silver who are close to you. Friends, family, etc... etc...
You probably won't sell a whole lot to these people unless they have money to spend and are looking to buy silver.
This is going to sound strange but if you want to spend/sell large amounts of silver you should do it at places like flea markets and gun shows. Anywhere where bartering is acceptable pretty much acceptable.

Gun shows are a good place to trade silver for other valuables such as potentially rare or undervalued guns. A good portion of the people who attend those events are boomers who will know just as much about silver as you do or nearly as much, therefore they will understand it's value as a currency. Say what you will about the boomers, but if it's one thing they understand, it's silver and they generally keep up with spot values, this can work to your advantage or disadvantage
Flea markets are also good places to trade silver as they are are basically modern bazaars where bartering and trading physical goods in the norm.

Physical silver is good for bartering for other goods but when you start asking for cash you'll get ripped off, unless of course you own silver in the form of stocks. You can generally get it cheaper than physical silver, and make faster returns as you can sell it whenever you want.

>I try not to buy to sell.
That's a good idea overall. The only times you're going to be selling silver is when you're desperate, broke, or you can get something of greater value that is real and tangible.
>I'm kind of particular about which kinds of coins I like to buy
You shouldn't be too particular about what kinds of silver you buy as long as you know it's real silver. Don't be picky about buying Roosevelt dimes or any other coin/bar/bullion etc... just think about the price you're buying it at. You're not a collector, you're an investor.

Collectible silver is difficult to take care of properly and just costs you more money overall.

Junk silver is often times a good option if you want silver but you're on a budget. Just keep conversation ratios in mind with regards to 35% (nickels) and 90% american silver vs .999~ privately made silver bullion.

Also keep in mind the privately made silver can sometimes be fake. [not usually but sometimes. (don't ever buy "German silver")]


It's also not impossible to find fake Morgan dollars as well as other counterfeit government coins. You'll also sometimes get fucked if you order silver directly from China.
