I have found a bank that will sell me bags of coin from their coin counter. Best thing about this is that they charge 10% for non customers and 6% for customers. No roll hunter in their right mind will not go through coins and dump them for 6%. I know I wont. So I think all or most of the coins from their bags will not be looked thru.  I cant wait to see what I find. Grabbed my first bag of dimes from there and found 7 Rosies and 1 1960 Canadian dime. |

If you roll them, then maybe you wont be re-searching your previous bag?

Wow, nice. I used to know a place where I could get bags. I used to find some nice stuff, but they don't sell me bags anymore.

Good luck. I once got a bag of nickels. Got 2 wars and a buffalo in it I believe. It was a fun time.

That's a good way to go. 98% of my hunting nowadays is bags.

Sweet, especially if their counter accepts halves...they do take longer for a bag to fill though.
When I listen to LED ZEPPELIN...so do my neighbors...
Roll hunting since '77
Dirt fishing since '72

I don't dump there. Yes I am waiting for that bag of halves to come out of there.

Let me see if I am getting this right...the CU charges you (as a member) 6% over the face of the bags?  Edited by oih82w8

No, the CU charges its members 6% to use their coin counter and non members 10%. I am not a member nor do I use their coin counting service.

See if you can find out what day the armored car carrier makes pickups/deliveries. Then go in the day before and pick up what you want. I have two banks that I get any bag I want. The carrier picks up bags of change on Wednesdays. I go in either Monday or Tuesday at one bank and the other will hold them for me until Friday. Here a bag of dimes, quarters and halves are $1000, nickels $200 and cents $50. Bags of dollars are $2000 but I usually don't get them. I will normally take all cents, nickels and then a $1000 dollar bag. I get halves first, then dimes and last quarters. almost every time they will have quarters, every three weeks or so dimes and maybe once or twice a year halves. You CU may do much more volume though. Here all change counter are free except the coinstar machines. Good Luck.
Still Lookin

I have found that CU's operate completely different than banks because the customer base is different. The CU's in my town don't have "normal" courier deliveries. This may be hard to believe but one of my CU's will go months without receiving or delivering coin. The first time I asked for a "box" of coins, they looked at my like I was stupid. They had never received a box of coins. I'm guessing they have a vault with extra stashed. Slowly over time, they would accumulate extra coin. When they had more than they wanted, they would hand roll it and call the courier for a pick-up. We made an arrangement that was beneficial to both parties. They would call me every time they were ready to get rid of coin. In return, they would save money on the courier service and save time because there was no need to roll the coin. They would call every 2 to 4 months. Unfortunately, I ended the relationship because there was never any valuable coins. The pennies were ok but the only silver I found was 2 nickels and a single dime.

That is still crazy for a banking establishment to charge their members to use the counting machine to make a deposit.  Edited by oih82w8
