Went to my usual buy bank that has a coin counter. They were all excited to tell me I may have missed out on something big. Last week is the first week in months I hadn't stopped to buy bags from the coin counter. They had 2 guys come in with homemade wooden boxes full of coins. $9700 worth. They had everything from dimes to dollars. They took two hours to unload. They even had Ike's they tried to dump. I asked if they were coin collectors - the tellers said no. The bad part is that the bank couldn't hold all of that for me - so it all shipped. I may get the scraps from bags they partially filled. May not have been anything, but that's a lot of coin - especially when talking mixed denominations. They said they would call next time.

That would make me so sad to hear that story. It would hold a rainy cloud over my head just thinking about what could have been

Aww shoot.
I would be so upset.
Well, keep buying boxes and hopefully some of those will come back to you that way.

That's tragic (maybe). Don't ever miss your weekly visit again.

I missed twice this year. That had to be the week. I got bag each of dimes, nickels and pennies from there today. Could be remnants of last weeks dump

Good luck! Hearing this makes me think I need to go to my banks more frequently.

so far 1 63 dime in really good shape. too bad its taken over half the bag to get there.
about 1/3 bag of nickels done - no silver and very little in the way of good pre-60's. However I did find a BU 56 to upgrade one of my sets.
Back to it.

Well... On balance, then--the bad news is probably the good news. I guess it looks like you didn't miss out on "Grandpa's Silver Coin Stash Boxes."
