Some coin roll hunters will mark their searched rolls with black marker as a courtesy to other coin roll hunters. I still suggest looking through them - you never know what another collector was looking for, or what they overlooked.

Great video James! Right on mark. 2 things : 1st I electronically link my dump banks back to my main buying bank, this eliminates handing to much cash, easily transfer the cash back. 2nd I never take the bank boxes back with the searched rolls to my dump bank because you will get dirty looks and probing questions, use a plain sturdy box. And don't forget to keep your buying bank tellers happy with sugary treats!

@CAD Roll Hunter I buy sheets for 1 1/2 inch sq flips. The flips are smaller than the 2x2s and hold 30 coins instead of 20. These are great for small cents, nickels, and quarters.

You have the same hobbies i have guitars and coins

Your video came through my feed. So stoked to stumble on your channel. I am also a guitar player and numismatic/stacker. Digging your hollow body! Subbed for sure! Another pointer....I've developed a good relationship with my grocery store staff members. The manager sells me rolls of coins . I usually buy 10 rolls of my choice. Hopefully yours will, too.

@CAD Roll Hunter This video is definitely good for beginners. Like it! Very helpful.

Excellent video, very informative and interesting! I also really enjoy watching Rob Finds Treasure, what an excellent channel.

I used to do book buybacks at colleges and universities here in Canada for an American company. Obviously I used to get a lot of rolled coinage although it was only quarters, loonies and toonies. I would never search the loonies and toonies because I never had any collector interest in those yet I would always search the quarters. In all the years I had that job, and all the thousands of dollars of quarters I searched I only had a grand total of 5 finds - one roll had a total of 4 (!!!) silver quarters spanning the late 40s to mid 60s, and another time I found one early 1980s British 5 pence coin, the old large type.

i use to do this stuff when i was a kid back in 2000-2004 before arp was a thing my mom use to bring home giant Maxwell coffee tins
she want me to help her each month count and roll the coins i use to find silver quarters dimes old nickels pennies and this was a tin with about 400-600 dollars worth of change it was fun one of the quarters was a 47 plain and the other was a mackerel dime but i cant remember what the other 20 coins were i use to find loads of stuff all the time but sadly that collection i had when i was a kid was stolen by my babysitter

Quite informative where I've just started to search rolls. Really enjoy your videos.

Great content got into coin hunting when I found a silver quarter in my pocket change.
Wasn’t sure how banks preferred the change to be returned.

Nice to put a picture to your voice. Nice Guitars on the wall thanks for all the Canada coin information. Shawn from Pittsburgh Pennsylvania USA .

I am so glad I discovered your channel. This is a great video. Once you got into the meat of the topic it was extremely informative. Glad I didn't bail too early.
Can I be honest? The intro was a bit repetitive. But the tour on your desk was GREAT. I have been looking for a USB camera and could not decide what to get.
Stay safe and happy hunting

Great guide, my coin hunting space is cramped and dark so I have something to work on, that's for sure.

[TheGlobetrottersCollection]

Awesome tips. Recently received a few coins from Canada. Its really hard to get them since I am living in India. I do stack Indian coins (except modern ones). I occasionally do find commemoratives, errors and low mintage coins

[anick]

Thank you very much I just started and your info is going to help me. I will go for my 1e visit to the bank, I am french from Quebec city

Was waiting for this video yesterday. Very good video!

[GVolker]

Then Tim Hortons coffee was the best recommendation of the video. Seriously must have!

I live in TN and we do not have access to Timmy hos 😢

[ytguy]

Very good video. Pretty much all banks in Canada will not do any transactions without an account. Also, some banks may not give you more than 10 rolls unless you call them and order a whole box ahead of time.

Thanks a lot for your videos. So underrated
