Well I went to a couple banks today and picked up all the halves they had (21.50) I found 1 40% silver and was able to fill many slots in my folder.
I also got two rolls of nickels and found a 41, 55, and a 58.
I really enjoyed the hunt and will be going back soon for more. |

In my opinion, one of the most productive roll searches is in nickels. With patience you can fill the better part of a complete Jefferson collection without spending more than face value. |

The Lincoln Cents for me are the most rewarding coins to be searched, if you can find coins that has not been searched. Check with Friends, Family, Aunt's/Uncles, inlaws. Everyone has jars of unsearched pennies and some good coins can be found if searched. My sister in law has 2 gallon jars of pennies waiting for me. I'm looking foreward to that trip to Florida.  daffy

I like nickels best. Kennedy's are nice also. I used to really be into the Lincolns but have slowed up on them the last few years. Maybe I will start them again. |

Hey man, congrats! Nickels are awesome to search, can find a lot of nice dates! Lincolns are my passion at the moment, but won't find the dates I need from circulation.  Keep it up!
