ya dont dont tell me either  . I'm starting to find a lot more older wheats, so hopefully soon I'll find one. I've switched my entire sorting model to getting crw's in poorer areas! I'm finding about the same ammount copper and wheats as i did with my brinks orders and I'm sorting less! Of course I cant get anymore than the 6 or so banks that supply me, so sometimes I'll do nickels and dimes. I did about $1400 so far this week, hoping to do that in pennies alone next week! |

Heck.. I'm old here and I don't know what CRW stands for either. Must just be a regional thing. Most of us would probably call them CWR - Customer Wrapped Rolls. These are the hand rolled pennies.. as opposed to BWR - Bank Wrapped Rolls.. those machine wrapped ones that are crimped on both ends by banks, coin services, and those of us lucky enough to have a few automatic rolling machines. The Bank Wrapped Rolls that come in the clear plastic are often called by most of us as Brinks Wrapped Rolls.
Hail to the Chief! You are the new Chief TXTim.. I have only found 12 wild Indians so far this year. I guess I better get busy sorting. Picked up a few hundred dollars worth of CWR this week.. maybe I'll get lucky. |
If your percentages are low.. just sort more. If your percentages are high.. just sort more.

I puzzled over this too for a little while when I started sorting.
Undoubtably he meant CRW = Customer Wrapped Rolls e and just typo'd it.
Hoard discribed it pretty well - but I'll add a little more explanation.
As I understand the general usage of the CRW term in the hobby - any rolls that are hand or slow speed mechanically filled are CRWs. This would include the ones that come flat before you fill them. And the "shot gun shell" style that are crimped on one end when they are made, and then hand folded. My Royal Sov. uses shot gun rolls except I recycle and therefore just dump the coins into a previously used roll. CRWs could be filled by individuals with a few coins, businesses, or by bank tellers in branch from change on hand.
There are also rolls that are machine rolled from flat paper stock, or with a plastic sleeve. The big coin processors, armored car companies, vending companies, some large stores, and the ODD overzealous larger scale Coin Roll Hunter (emphasis on ODD) own these machines.
The theory goes like this - you want CWR because they represent a broud range of circulated coin held by the population. Occasionally you will even encounter someone dumping an old stash (of rolls collected or just an old penny jar). Many old coins just move from pocket to till to pocket and into a CRW to bank to another till and so on.
Bank Wrapped / Brinks Wrapped rolls are fine if they came from the local vending company or large store. If they come from Hoard or another large scale operation pulling copper they will be duds to you.
Here is the problem - the mint/fed introduce new coins into the system via large coin handling and distribution companies like Brinks. It is easier to get a nice super sack of new coin from the Fed to wrap up then collect up thousands of CWR to open and reroll. Were circulated bagged coin is available this also gets fed into the roller. Therefore while often a mix of coin dates, these double crimped automatically rolled rolls may have a higher percentage of new coin then CWR. We are usually seeking old coin (though an actually uncirculated mint fresh roll can be and interesting find too) |

Not "overzealous", merely enthusiastic.

| Question: How many wild injuns do you have find before you can declare you have a tribe, a reservation or a nation? |

13 in 8 months. That is approximately 1 every 3 weeks. That is way cool.

| Wow! Just for perspective, what kind of volume are you searching each week? |
Considering Verizon Business service? Perhaps you'd like to consider a nice drain cleaner enema instead? |

Rich is not owing any money to anybody, and not spending what you haven't got." Robert Ruark
