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.

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