Coppercrazy's Coin Roll Hunting Log

I have just gotten into the coin roll hunting hobby and thought it would be cool to post some goals of mine for the year 2012 and my finds. So far I have only been searching boxes of pennies and I have ordered a box a week but might bump it up to 2. I will start doing some customer rolls of dimes or nickels very soon.

Bank 1: $250 CWR Dimes-SKUNK
Bank 1: $250 Brinks Dimes Box-SKUNK
Bank 2: $250 Brinks Dimes Box-SKUNK
Bank 3: Had No Boxes of Coins
Bank 4: Had No Dimes, $250 Quarters-SKUNK
Bank 4: $250 Brinks Box-1964
Bank 4: $150 Quarters, $100 Box of Nickels-2 War Time, 10 Pre 50's, 1934 Canadian.

So Overall I had a pretty rough day $5.06 Silver Spot. :/
I'm going to try to do 2 boxes of nickels and a box of cent tomorrow. Wish me luck!

NOTE: Some banks will have multiple listings because I went to these multiple times.
 

:occasion18: Big shout out to NICKEL SEARCHER 219 for getting me into hunting nickels. At first I was skeptical, but he was right! :occasion18:
 

As I keep thinking about all of the treasures out there I really want to increase my bankroll to something large enough to where I don't need to worry about getting rid of coins as soon as I get them, although that would be a good idea. I Would like at least a $1,000 bankroll. Lol, Now I am just getting greedy.

Even a 1k bank roll is small, it can buy you two boxes of halves then you are screwed when they say oh we have more! I avoid the "hang on while I go to my bank" moment.

That is a a very good point that I wish I could fix, but I can't at the moment. They didn't have a problem with waiting for me to swap out, although they might eventually. Hopefully my bankroll with be big enough by then.
 

Overall today was a little below good. Out of $200 on nickels ($150 Plastic Brinks, $50 Customer) I pulled 2 35% silver war nickels and 63 pre 60's. Also picked up $25 in pennies, someone else's dumps...This is the 3rd time I've picked up customer rolls from DIFFERENT banks and I got someone elses dumps. Looks like I'm only going to be a able to do sealed Brinks boxes.
 

Searching a box of dimes and cents tomorrow. Somehow my bankroll went from $250 to $244...
 

Ok I did pretty well yesterday. 1 brinks box of dimes produced 1 1956d and the brinks box of cents produced an amazing 31 wheats! I didn't have any key dates yet and nothing pre 1920's yet.
 

Finished up my pennies $35 worth produced 16 wheats and $10 of copper. Going to go pick up 4 boxes today.
 

Ok so $120 (4 boxes, $20 customer rolls) produced some pretty good finds, which I am quite happy with! Ok so first of all I pulled 58 wheats, a little below average but still pretty good, including one AU/MS 1957. I also got 2 1 cent euro coins and a 1 jiao Japan coin. 1 2000 Wide AM and a 1998 Wide AM. And last but not least the best for last!!!!! DRUMROLL!!!! NOT 1 BUT 2 INDIAN HEADS (1904 and 1895)!!!! They were both in the same box and oddly enough there were only 4 wheats in that box...:icon_scratch: So, pictures are below. I also found out that I can dump my coins at 3 First Merit Branches all with 5 miles of me in a FREE coin counting machine! All you have to do is deposit the money in the checking and take it out. Opening an account there soon!

It took me a long time to go through them all by date, around 7 hours, but I seperate copper so I can sell it to increase my bankroll. It looks like I am on the right track for my cent goals. I would like a lifetime goal of pulling 1 flying eagle. That would be really cool.
 

The 1 jiao coin is Chinese. A jiao is 1/10 of yuan, or about 2 cents in exchange.
 

Sold my first $100 box of copper and made $27. So by bankroll is getting larger and larger very slowly.
 

I have so much time on my hands so I'll start going through around $300 a week. I really need the first merit account but I need to make $100 from selling copper first.
