What You Should Have Found By Now But Have Not

IVE found its better to get the bags of coins the banks are sending back than to get the boxes of coins. So if u want a box of pennies instead get a bag. Difference of 25 bucks. Older coins turn up this way and oddly enough alot of foreign coins as well. Banks that have a change machine in the lobby for customers to dump coins into are the better banks to hit for this system of madness. Over the last nine years of roll searching using this method ive found lots of several dimes dateless buffs and a few silver quarters. FOUND JARS OF WHEATIES. A few silver half dollars. By the way banks in very small towns is great for half dollars. About five years ago just on a whim I hit a small town bank and the cashier brought out sandwich bags full of silver half dollars that somebody turned in. Over 300 dollars worth of franklins became mine for face value.

A good rule of thumb is to always ask the tellers to look at their rolls - if they look kind of old-style, you have a better chance. Also, I'm thinking a lot of finding them has to do with geography... and if a lot of the local banks get their coins via Coinstar-affiliated services, you can bet there won't be much of any silver (unless you're searching nickels).

The one that I should have found is a Seated dime or half. Six Barber dimes and one Barber half in six years.
I found around a dozen solid and semi-solid hand-rolled filled with silver halves, my best dime roll held 27 silvers.
I also found 150+ silver Canadian coins.

The glory days for me were around 2008/09. Silver prices rising and there weren't yet many hunters.
My wife's aunt was also in banking for years, some of the other managers were ordering boxes of halves at that time; there were so many silvers that they were sending the 40% halves back, keeping only the 90%.

I've never found silver quarters.found two silver dimes in the same box from two different identical CWRs earlier this year for the first time.

The tellers at my bank look for older enders for me when I come in. It is really nice of them to do that for me.

I have looked through thousands and thousands and thousands of half dollars over the years and have found many interesting halves - proofs, a Washington commemorative, almost all of the modern NIFC, silver bicentennial stuff, Benjamins, walkers, a Barber head, and a 1970-S. But I have never come across a 1970-D. Has anyone ever found a 1970-D in circulation?

last month I did finally find my first silver dime, a 1963D, it was in a Coinstar reject slot, if that counts
