Question for the group, do you mark your rolls when you return them to the bank? I Have at least one other person in town that marks their coin rolls, luckly they must be looing for something different than I am. For those rolls that have their "mark" on them I never find any wheaties or 2009's. But lots of copper and to date several 2025s and so far 2 small date 1982 coppers. I did find a 1999 wide but someone ran it through the garbage disposal or a blender, either way I think the penny won. Questions for you first? When you go to the bank for your rolls, do they give you machine wrapped rolls or customer wrapped rolls? What denomination rolls are you getting? What coins are you looking for? |

Staying with Pennies and Nickels right now, I take what ever they have. All the banks in town use Loomis. I have had equal luck with both Loomis rolls and customer rolls. I did score 20$ in Nickels last month, all Loomis and all 2026. Saving for a while to see what turns up on the errors list. I pick up coins at two different branches and return to the 3rd.

I usually order boxes, but I always offer to take any extra coinage they want to get rid of. I have recently found that three of the bank/credit unions I purchase from have 3 different suppliers. One uses Brinks, another Loomis, and a third uses Garda. The credit unions order coins less frequently than the banks, but I have good relationships with all of them and they keep me busy with boxes and customer rolls. I do not mark my returns as my dump bank is a credit union with a free coin counter machine for members. I can punch in my account number and make a direct deposit with a receipt from the machine. The only time I have to get in the teller line is when I fill up one of the machine's bags (always annoys the tellers). We recently moved a CD to that credit union and I made sure to tell them their machine was one of the reasons.  Here's a funny story. One of the banks I buy from had ordered a couple of boxes of quarters for me and said they would be in on Wednesday. On that Wednesday I had been to my dump bank and noticed the Brinks truck at the bank I was expecting to get quarters from. I pulled in and went inside and they said she had not brought the coins in yet. I pulled up a chair and waited. Waited and waited. Finally the security guard came in and said, "No coinage today, she can't get the vault door open." Now that's secure! I came back the next Wednesday and got my 2 boxes of quarters, plus $700 in customer wrapped rolls that had just been dropped off. Timing is everything!  Last week I made one of my usual trips to the dump bank to deposit coins and stopped by my main credit union to deposit some checks. They said they had a couple of boxes of halves and dollars someone else had ordered but had not picked up. Did I want them? Well, of course. They will get more cookies next week. :) "I like money. I can't believe you like money, too. We should hang out."

The half dollar box I have been searching had some coins that were marked by a previous searcher. The 1972 D's had the FG on the reverse marked with a black marker, I guess to show that he'd checked them. The 1974 D's had a similar mark across TRUST. I found that an interesting idea, but I won't be marking any coins myself.

Well we have something in common, several months ago I did get 100$ in half's. Found nothing, when I took them to my primary bank she took me to the coin counting room. A customer had just delivered $4,500 in lose halfs. She said he brings between 4,000 and 5,000 every other week. I noticed a lot had a black mark across the trust. She said he got most of those in Arkansas and Texas. Small world.

Okay, thanks for that. The reason I was asking... I wouldn't worry about seeing/finding marker rolls. What you are looking for and what they are looking for, are most likely two different things. I've searched customer wrapped rolls of halves that were marked. I'm assuming they were looking for silver. I've found DDO's in some of those rolls and even 40%'ers. Sometimes 40%'ers look like clad. People don't always know or understand what they are looking for. Believe it of not, there are young bank tellers out there that don't know the difference between clad and silver! |

You're singing my song brother! You in Maryland be any chance? I dump my coins at a credit union also. I'm searching boxes of dollar coins at the moment. This is a test. Question: Do you know what I'm looking for? I also mark them... Why? |

I was at my dump bank today and filled up their half dollar bag. I had to get a teller to pull out the full bag and put on a new one. She told me she had just gotten 10 Ike dollars and asked if I wanted them. Of course! They were all clad, with no silver, and 2 bicentennial. I'll take them some cookies when I go dump more tomorrow. Plus I'll hold out the 2 bicentennial for my teller friend at my main credit union who loves the 1976 coinage. I bet her eyes will pop out when I deposit those 2. The other 8 will be fun spenders. Fun with money!  "I like money. I can't believe you like money, too. We should hang out."

Do you know what I'm looking for? I would guess error coins (like no edge lettering), NIFCs, speared eagle, Cherrio dollars, and proofs. Quote:
I also mark them... Why? You would probably mark the 2000-P's as checked since they might turn up again. I have a dollar box I'm going through right now. Dollar boxes have been more productive for me than any other denomination. I always hold out the Millard Fillmore's as they are fun to give to people. "I like money.

2007-P Washington Elongated Ray That's one I had not been looking for. I will add that one to my list. Thanks for the tip! "I like money. I can't believe you like money, too. We should hang out."
