2000 pennies and not a single one I needed. I am 4 away from finishing a book. Since there are so many "great find" threads I thought I'd make a "biggest blunder" thread. So this would be the place to your epic fails ect!

I like it.

I tweaked the title to make it more inviting.

I have bought a couple of rolls of "full date" Buffalo nickels. Some had coins I need, but never the rare ones.
Eventually just bought the specific coins I needed.

Yesterday was my last weekday off or the forseeable future (i am switching from four 10 hour days to five 8 hour days at work) so I wanted to make it count. I went to 8 banks, managed to get 3 boxes of dimes, $70 in halves, a box of pennies and 13 Ikes.
I got them all home and found that the box of pennies and one box of dimes were all 2012D. BAH. Maybe I will try to sell them on ebay.
The Ikes werent bad (they never are) but no silver.
The 2 mixed dime boxes gave me 2 silvers. Not a total failure, but not what I was hoping for. Oh well.. there's always tomorrow!

I opened an account for the sole purpose of buying penny boxes. I asked the teller all the usually questions, opened the account only to find out all they had were boxes of 2012 shield cents.
