Silver Stackers

357 · 03-01-2013, 10:47 AM

My dad's been a coin collector for ever. I have some silver coins, many of which are worth more as silver than as a coin. I saw a show (doomsday preppers) where a guy buys rolls of half dollars for face value and picks the silver coins out (worth many times face value in silver) then trades the rest back in later. They called it roll hunting. Neat idea to get free money in silver. This is a practice I just may take up. The banks usually take out the silver coins but they miss quite a few I guess.

I have a few friends that do some coin roll hunting... Not very profitable. They often go through several hundred rolls before finding any silver. I guess it's not bad if you enjoy it and have A LOT of free time.

Bought a 1oz Stagecoach divisible bar because they look sweet. Also bought (3) 2013 Silver Eagles yesterday at the local coin shop for $34 each out the door. They are flawless and extremely shiny
