I have never roll hinted before, like to give it a shot. Where do you roll hunters get your rolls. Do most banks carry a large amount of them or are some banks better than others for getting 10 or more rolls at a time.

Thanks Tony

I order mine through any bank. Some banks will order for you even though you dont have an account. Other than that, just find loose halves and rolls banks have.

My first box from my new source yielded 14-40% and a 2005D. I found out that the squarish boxes with the white and gold wrappers are being delivered from Brinks. I've had much better luck with these boxes than I've had with the flat boxes with black and white wrappers.

Anyone know who uses the small double stacked boxes with heavy brown wrappers (about the feel of a paper bag you get at the grocery store)? I though it was Brinks but not really sure.

Gothic, it's a credit union called BIP. Tomorrow I'll pick up a 2 boxes from my other bank. The last 2 boxes I got from them also yielded silver (and 2 Franklins). I hope the trend continues.

My Loomis box last night yielded a 1969-D, 1968-D and a well worn 1964. Most of the 1964's I find have little to no wear.

Interesting ratman, I actually have a better outcome with the black and white wrappers than with the white and gold. By the way does anyone know who delivers the black and white ones?
Yesturday I went through 4 boxes and found 26 40%'ers and 3 NIC's 1 2002 and 2 2005's.

Twangator - I think the black and white is Brinks. I've heard rumors that they pull silver out - not sure if that is true or not. In my experience, the black and white wrappers are terrible. I usually get skunked and the most I have gotten from them is 1 40% per box.

I hit 14 banks in my area yesterday and the customer rolls/loose halves were the most productive. I had 2 1964 (both very nicely toned with purple) and a 1967 and 1968-D. I didn't have to do too much driving since half those banks were in a downtown area.

I found a bank with $350 in rolls in their vault that I'm going to pickup at lunch today. They were very happy to get rid of them. I'll post results later.

2 out of 4 boxes:

So far,

11 count.


3- 90% and 8 - 40%

I'll post the complete breakdown after I go thru the last 2 boxes today.
