Hello all. I went to my local Regions bank today to pay off a home equity line of credit (a very good feeling), and while the teller was processing my check I asked her if they had any of the large dollar coins or half dollars. She said that they didn't have any " Eisenhower dollars" but they did have several hundred dollars worth of Kennedy halves. That she knew they were Eisenhower dollars was a pleasant surprise.

I am thinking about going back to get a couple of rolls to test the waters, so-to-speak. What would you guys do?

Go back home. get $200, then run back to that bank and buy them out. what have you got to loose, TIME? you can always cash them in after you've gone through them.

i could've never left without them. Even if I had a few dollars in my pocket, I would've bought, went outside, searched and if anything good was in there, walked back in and said, "You know what, i'll take all you got".

Heck, I once went to a regular pick up bank, the teller said she had 10 rolls. I bought them and drove to the grocery a couple miles away. I sat in the parking lot and opened them. THere was ten 40%ers and a couple 90%ers. The bank was scheduled to close in 5 minutes. I FLEW back to the branch and charged inside. I am sure I looked a little scary. I had this vision of having the tellers find cases and cases of this "dump".

Sadly to say, the teller looked at me like I was insane and said that she gave me all that was in the bank. I literally spoke loudly to the other tellers and asked them to double check.... no luck.

So, never, ever think that just because a bank has some rolls that it must be someone's dump. There's no risk, only potential upside.

Always buy every last one.

99% of the rolls could be dumps - 1 could be good. I never leave a roll

What CoinCbass said. Always buy them all!

The tellers will also appreciate you.
