Roll searching

Does anyone roll search? I have referred to it a few times in other posts but am wondering if the time it takes is really worth it? In the years that I have searched I have found two silver coins, both of which I still have. One was a Roosevelt dime, the other a Jefferson nickel. They are not right in front of me so I do not know the exact dates.

Other times I have found coins that are good enough to place in my collection or in good enough condition just to hold on to for someone else. To me that is worth more then finding silver.

I can honestly say most of the roll searching I have done has been with pennies. With that I have found easily a few hundred wheat pennies. All pretty much not worth anything, but I still hold on to them anyway. in addition to those I did find my first and only 2000P Wide AM. Yes I am very proud of that. Not worth much but still a neat find.

Other finds I have are many die cracks, mostly in pennies but a bunch in nickels too. Rarely have I found any in dimes or quarters, then again I do not roll search them as much.

I have heard stories of great finds in roll searching, silver errors, varieties, etc. Yes that is what got me roll searching, but know well i am not so sure. Yes I still look for the ones I know about, but i also wonder about the ones still not found...and I would say that is what keeps me coming back again and again.

Coinman
