At least you get half dollar rolls to look through. As I've griped about many times, my bank never has any. I guess I'll just have to cough up $500 and order a box. I guess it's time to join em.

I have been under the understanding that banks serviced by Loomis got their halves from the Fed -- or maybe that Loomis has a special contractual relationship with the Fed. Does anyone have good information about this?

Here is possibly some good information about the relationship between Loomis and the Fed: "Loomis offers a comprehensive solution for coin services throughout much of our national service network. In fact, we serve as Federal Reserve Coin Depots in 40 locations, enabling us to provide the most stable and reliable coin services in the industry and, in most cases, help you reduce inventory. We offer complete processing services including sorting, wrapping, storage and of course delivery." http://www.loomis.us/products-servi...cessing.aspx Maybe that's why coin rolls delivered by Loomis don't have their company name splashed all over them like the Brinks rolls do.

what do they mean by sorting? going through and stealing all the taxpayers' worthwhile coinage? well I guess that's us doing that, heh.
anyhow, why wouldn't they put their name on the rolls? I'm confused.

I mean if Loomis is acting as an agent for the Fed, then it wouldn't put the Loomis name on rolls.

Oblak, you are collecting gold dimes? I've found one in three years, I'm assuming you mean plated?

You will probably do much better searching rolls brought in by customers. Boxed haves will contain 99% searched/dumped coin, depending on the amount of hunters in your area. It's the reason I quit ordering boxes a year ago. I have searched approx $3500 in halves this year and all cust rolled, and have found several solid silver rolls (of 40%). Good luck.

My bank likes to hide their halves. I think they search everything. Metal in paper out.

yeah, well problem is, though I'm a fledgling hunter, when I've asked my bank for rolls customers have brought in, rather than boxes, they act like I'm crazy and say they don't have any; a lie of course, considering every bank must get at least a couple customers a day bringing in coin, right?

You may have banks that receive customer rolled coin on a daily basis; you will not have a bank that receives rolled halves every day. In fact, weeks and months may go by before a bank sees any halves come in. Thats why many crh'ers just order boxes.
