If luck would have it...

When sorting coins, what do you normally have the best luck with?

I found a couple of war nickels in rolls before, never found a silver dime or quarter... But I haven't searched many of those rolls.

I think you need to test your area to get the best results. But personally I will say that WN and dimes are found at about the same frequency (~1-2 per box), Halfs can be far better or worse, and quarters are really the least likely to find.

I have better luck looking in the teller's trays than I do buying boxes of coins...lol

Of course you are very careful as to 'how' you look in those teller trays, correct? :lol:

Nah... I just lean over the counter and scan all of their trays... and sometimes, I even scan their drawers! :lol:
