Coin Roll Hunting in The United States
Prime targets of American coin roll hunters are silver dimes and quarters prior to 1965, silver half dollars from 1964 and earlier, and 40% silver half dollars from 1965-1970. Nickels are searched for 35% silver "war nickels" (1942–1945) older discontinued designs such as the Buffalo and "V" Nickel are also collected. Pennies are searched for wheat cents (1909–1958) and Indian Head cents from 1859–1909. Some penny roll searchers save copper Lincoln cents (1959–1982 for part of the year) for the growing value as copper bullion. An occasional dime can also be found in penny rolls, giving the collector an instant bonus. Often coin roll hunters also collect special proof coins, exonumia, and coins from other nations. Others attempt to find and complete a set of coins, like the America the Beautiful Quarters or 50 State Quarters.
