I kept depositing boxes of coins ๐๐
I really like the ideea of hunting rolls, been watching a lot of videos on it. However, I'm curious, is it still possible to hunt older coins, including coins with silver in them? More specifically quarters? I wanted to put together a book with all the years, but I also heard about the Alloy Recovery Program, which from what I understand, removes all the older coins from circulation. Kind of a bummer..
Some follow up questions.. If I do order some rolls from the bank, how do I go about asking for them? How do I return the coins that I don't want?
Cheers!
EDIT: Based on the feedback below. I decided to visit two different banks and purchase a bundle of quarters ($100/each), I went through them and found one with silver, however it's not what you'd think LOL. Within my rolls of Canadian Quarters I was able to get 2.75 in US currency and this Australia Shilling from 1961 which I believe is 50% silver. Better than a kick in the teeth!
I had 128 nickels in this box. Personal record
TBH I ordered one recently to check it out and I was not overly impressed with the plastic strip to cover the coins. What is your album of choice?
Does anyone have a favourite mat for errors, varieties and low mintage coins?
I just returned from our local coin shop and was taken aback by the response I received. I'd like to gather the community's perspective on this matter since some coin collectors may prioritize business aspects over the collectible value of coins.
Thanks a lot for your view on this
I live in a big city with several institution and branch of each easily accessible.
Thanks for your help with this
The way im reading thay is any year have no " mark" or could have a " mark" . Is this correct?
I like collecting coins, but never use cash.
Can I just ask my bank teller for rolls of quarters and then take them back when Iโm done?
For those who do Coin roll hunting in Canada ,I recommend you this video, I was surprised when I saw it : https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=Yh_HqE-3ips&t=4s
Has anyone here be able to find a way to sell the coins they found from CRH consistently? Any tips? Mostly been doing Nickels started to collect more than I can store looking to offload some.
Do people do it for profit?I just started with a lot of US quarters.Or is it a waste of time?
