These are from $25 in cents, $80 in nickels, $250 in dimes, and $750 in quarters. The dimes and quarters were skunks, but the nickels had a 1944-P, and the cents had 14 wheats including a 1924 and a 1940-D, which is kind of a tough date/mm variety. The cent with the hole is curious, as it has a shamrock stamped on it.
The war nickel is actually quite colorful in hand.

The cent is probably a good luck charm to wear. Hence the hole for a necklace made from a chain or string.

Here's a coin roll & mint set (no, proof set) find. I guess people break these sets open and try to spend these things. I found it in a customer wrapped roll. Not sure if they would go through a coin counting machine. I suppose someone could have mistaken it for a small dollar.

I went thru some customer rolls of quarters and found a Presidential dollar among the quarters. That $ made up for the quarters that they sorted in the roll.

How about this. I don’t have a picture, but it turned out to be a perfectly quarter sized “No Cash Value” token. I had delusions of Barbers and SLQs, but alas it was not to be.
Last week’s weekly pickup results: $300 in nickels, $250 in dimes, and $500 in halves. Halves were skunks, dimes had 2 rosies, and nickels had another 3 buffs and 2 proofs.

But, I didn't want to leave my CRHunting commerarades, in the dark.
Today, I picked this bank cent box up.
When I realized it all contained Customer wrapped rolls. I DID want to return them.
Then, I decided to open a roll first.
BINGO! I am so glad I changed my mind!
In the first roll I checked, too!
Good job on that IHC! Customer rolls do happen occasionally in sealed boxes, but it is rare. I once had a half box that was half CWRs and half MWRs, and I once got a full box of my own dime rolls, that they had just resealed and sent back, but those are the only time that this has happened to me.
I search rolls every week. I don’t post much, because I don’t find many that are different from what you find. I learn a lot in this thread. Anyhow, I hadn’t found a W in over a year, one silver dime, a few IHCs, and just BUs and AUs that I sort and save.
Yesterday I searched six quarter wraps, four dime wraps, and four nickel wraps. It was good:

Took a moment to go through 10 rolls.

Great job! Is the 2005-S Alaska Quarter a silver or a clad proof? Also, a Buffalo is great for only four rolls.
Hunt from last Tuesday: $10 in cents, $24 in nickels, $60 in dimes, $100 in quarters, and 19 wholes resulted in skunks on the first 3 denominations, but the quarters had a W, an unc. S, and a proof S. That is my first unc. S-Mint this year. The W is no. 22 for me all time. The dollars had a 2007-S proof John Adams dollar, surprising considering these were loose coins from the teller’s tray.
Also, the W became my first ever W quarter ender.

They’re on eBay. Quite a selection, new and vintage.
How vintage do they have to be before they’re worth more than the cost of shipping? Asking because I have found several but would need to dig them up to find how vintage and what they are.
I cannot locate that quote yet.
It pretty much depends on my obsession. I have resolved that every piece that I buy costs five for shipping. I am adding five dollars to the value of every coin that ships— Inoculating my brain to not fret over shipping costs for owning something that is pretty. When I get to a show, every coin is five dollars cheaper.
Each has his way to figure it out, none more numb than mine.
Last week’s weekly pickup: $300 in nickels yielded one 1945-P war nickel, $250 in dimes were skunks, and $500 in halves had a 1986-S proof. I am switching to 3 boxes of nickels and 3 boxes of dime next week.
