Looms responded, I was informed a polite NO. I offered the credit union a premium for the 5,000 count cent plastic bags from their customer coin dump machines and was told no.
I need Jane Hathaway, Milton Drysdale, and $40 million in the Beverly Hills bank. Jedd Clammpett would get coins I bet. Looks like I will open 5 savings accounts and be insistent in requesting 2 boxes a month from each bank. Chase put up with 6-8 boxes a month for 15 months. Now I get one every other week. It's doable but dang a $200 minimum balance, gas time and effort etc. And I still love it! I will never give up the good fight.

Maybe go to a bank or CU which has a coin counter and offer them to buy the bags? One credit union sells all their bags in every denomination and the other does not.

the banksa have to pay to ship the bags off dont see why you cant buy them and save them money. I can get them anytime I want one here.

Well no problem here in Maryland but sounds to me your problem is that you are getting too many and they do usually charge business owners a small fee for the service as I have been told.

I'll get boxes all day long in Detroit. Let me know if you want some and I can mail them out! Plus, I can't imagine doing $100 in pennies a week either!  Edited by shotgung

Your right badthad $100 a week is alot but when I get in the zone listening to Coast2Coast AM with George Nory I'm a machine. Its an obsession and the more I learn the more I find, the more I find the...ah you get my drift.
It started at age 8 and by age 16 had a nice little collection. Then in 1980 junk silver hit like $41.00 an ounce and kapow I sold every piece of silver I had to S and S Coins in Leavenworth, K'S. I had $800 in 1980 money I made $1.95 an hour washing dishes a shabby apartment above the bakery I worked in and a fake I.D.
I spent every penny of it on stupid stuff and beer. Despondent about life in general I joined the Army (since the money was gone ha!) there I found my home. Sure got yelled at and tortured and all but you got free food all you want and $501.00 a month. Only a poorboy could love the Army in 1980 and I met that requirement. 20 years for Uncle Sam 11 years civil service and somehow I managed to retire at 53.
In a nutshell badthad I ain't got nuthin better to do until deer season. Dang, whereas my loop? gotta get searching!

Really cool though cause I save 59's pennies.
The 1959 Philadelphia pennies are harder to come by.

Tell the teller she's beautiful .Works for me quite often I went a step further, I married my teller. Good times! Why not join a credit union? No charges, and you become part owner. When I listen to LED ZEPPELIN...so do my neighbors...

I have accounts at 4 different banks and 2 CU's in order to spread out my coin purchases and deposits and avoid sneers. I recommend you open more accounts. Who cares about a $300 minimum balance. I am being serious here. $300 barely buys a pack of gum these days.

I've gotten around the fees by having kids. Three kids, three different child accounts at three different banks then my personal bank. Four banks total.

Well...I keep buying Lincoln Memorial doubled die varietys at auction and can't seem to focus on the task at hand. Rest assured the forum is right I am in the process of opening 4 accounts across Salem. Prices are so low on some of the coins I am amassing that I am blowing all my coin roll money. Example: 1960 PCGS TDO F'S-103 proof 66 $105, 2006 doubled ear MS64 $38.00, 2011 DDO MS65 $14.88, 1980 DDO AU58 $42.00, and a 1968 DDR AU58 for $47.00. It appears to me this is a terrible time to sell and a boom for buying. If I can just lay my hands on one more 1966 DDO F'S-101 it will make me well :) has anyone else got the feeling die variety cents are in a downward trend and also buying like crazy? |
