Hi all,
One quick post before I go to work-
I was wondering if anyone- you don't have to be too specific or blab too much info if you're worried about privacy- has ever found GOLD coins while roll hunting.
I can't really see it happening in rolled coins, but maybe by buying counted bags, it could happen?
$5 half eagles are almost dead n*ts on in size to a nickel- WHOO! Wouldn't that be a good weekend- get a half eagle for $0.05???

Selling Ryedale sorted USA cents

after Ryedale sorting they are hand sorted to remove canadian then rechecked with Ryedale to insure all copper and count out $50 FV then placed in cloth bags and sealed with #1 copper wire. |

Wags - better luck finding a lot of silver like one of our members - then trading that for gold. If you want to find gold in the wild you might try metal detecting for rings and chains.
daviscfad-there are no other penny forums! (at least none that are worthy) hehehe

| I think we are all Rational Thinkers when it comes to an alleged belief of finding any wild gold. |

I heard someone on Tnet found a 1 Ducat in a penny roll earlier this year. Last year someone found a 1/4 oz GAE in a quarter roll. I'm still looking for whatever would get caught in a half dollar roll.

Hi there-
I dream about finding a $20 double eagle in a half roll, but not bloody likely in a wrapped roll. Maybe a bag of halves?????
Been reading some of your posts. You're a roll hunter after me own 'eart!!

Not yet, but the (irrational) thought is always in the back of my head.
I'm probably just not performing the proper ritual prior to selecting a target bank. |
