How's that been going @SaorAlba ? My credit union didn't have enough halves on hand for a box and there's a metals place half a block over. They never see anything.
I have multiple banks and credit unions supplying me, even calling when goodies come in. I tend to prefer non-boxed stuff as I find stuff the machines reject.
Oldest finds to date:
Cent 1858 - actually two of them I found in 2014.
Nickel 1888, but one time I found 76 of them from 1890-1912-D back in 2016
Dimes 1898 and 1899
Quarter 1927
Half, 1938 in February then a 1936 last month
Dollar - 1922 back in 2014
I don't usually search quarters and stopped searching cents last year. Other denominations are still fair game.

I spend more than 1 hour/day, but mostly just looking. I've only made one on-line coin purchase. I like to see the coin in hand before I buy.

I would say 1-2hrs per day for me.
I tend to go back and forth between here and eBay, CG, etc...
Later, Paul.
Too much apparently...at least that what my wife says...and my employer.

About an hour a week. I like the "Shop" function in the PCGS registry.

On average, about 11 seconds....
I spend about 1 hour per day just looking, I work about 60 hours per week, so I am basically depriving myself sleep over window shopping
eBay saved searches are the best. Quick way to get that portion of your searching done!
The nice little blue dots on eBay mobile are very helpful with saved searches.

The plus about great collections is you don't have to check back daily. Ebay is a totally different story and can be a real distraction.
