Sounds like a very fun hobby. The penny have 3 cents of metal in them,but it's hard to legal sell them. It's illegal to deface/ melt them down. People probably still do it i bet. With 50-100 dollers worth of equipment,i could do it myself. Trump came out and ordered the mint to stop making pennys a few weeks ago. I've read that half dollers are also good for coin roll hunting,I tried to buy some a few weeks ago,but my local branch doesn't carry them. Next time I'm downtown i might pick some up,it's fun to find silver.
I found 4 silvers out of about 5 cases of halves ! Believe it or not , I sound like tweaker lol but I washed and put in plastic rolls every year from 1965 to somewhere around 2021 not sure if I made it to 2024 I know I didn’t get any 2025 ‘s I haven’t played with halves in awhile , but I probably have a few thousand dollars worth . The last two cases I bought were all shiny and new in the 2010 ro 2020 or so I think , every roll I opened was the same year and I could see looking at both ends the whole case was like that , I stopped unwrapping . I want old ones . So I’ll return those cases someday soon . I just ordered a couple more cases of nickles I’m waiting on . You need to order the cases out here , it takes a week or so . I have a few banks I deal with , some get weird , Union bank , and they don’t want to order them for me ? Chase is where I order all my coins , not that I like banks and shouldn’t use chase , mbut I do . I have a credit union too and they don’t want to order coins for me either ? Not sure what the deal is . President trump stopping the pennys is what prompted me to buy a few cases . I wasn’t planning on opening them , but decided to and as I said it was cool finding so many wheats . You can spot the old pennys immedietly ! I’ll grab a few more cases , out of a hundred dollars in penny's ( 4 cases ) I’ll only keep sbout 20 or 30 dollars , im only keeping the real old ones . It’s a lot of work , my kids better not sell for face value . I started looking pennys up and it’s amazing how many old ones , not wheats , but ones in the 60,s sell for a few dollars each . I won’t sell them, but it was interesting ! I just started with penny's a week ago after DJT made his announcement as I said! I found a lot of 1958 wheats, it was the last year they made them , so they are sought after . I also learned that wheat pennys are the favorite coin with collectors ,, go figure lol ! I also found a site where people sell silver coins for a lot less then silver companys . It’s called Mercari , it’s a used site like a big garage sale or like offer up if you know thst site ! It’s guaranteed , I’ll be buying off there, as people are desperate and the prices are incredible .. 5 walking liberty’s for 100 bucks etc anyway I only started playing with coins a year or two ago !
I know reddit is a shithole but their is a good board for CRH coin roll hunting I'll post a link if your interested. Some people are getting really lucky. You might learn some good tricks IDK.
I'm probably not buying more silver the roll of BU liberties I bought at about 25 oz was the last of it. Oklahoma is starting a silver depository where people can deposit bullion and then get some type of debit card. I will probably do that to help get it started,but not really interested in selling.
What is CRH ! I know nothing , I didn’t start buying silver or gold until 2020 there’s a vault in San Diego thst my CPA recommended , if you buy 1500 $worth they wave the tax, so I go there ! Yes please send the link , I think Reddit is where I was bounced to when I asked questions about coins ! I never was comfortable with the idea of keeping my silver anywhere but in my safe at home . I guess there’s a point where you run out of room lol , I made some plywood doors on hinges for bookcases in my garage and then double padlocked them, the shelves is where I keep the plastic rolls of coins l! Outside on the plywood I put hooks where I hang beach bags and hats etc you can’t see the padlocks and it just looks like a wall of beach stuff to disguise the real use . silver and gold goes in the safe ! Lol
