Went to bank today to buy CWR of dimes. I have 1 bank I go to once a week for this and check for halves and sometimes order boxes of halves. I got $750 in dimes. I ask the head teller
if she would order me some halves for next week she said she already ordered this week but she had 1 unopened box I said I'll take it.
Went to another bank I ordered 3 boxes at and she had this sad look on her face she was on vacation this week and her boss ordered $1.00 coins by mistake. So I went home and cracked open the box of halves and found 7,40%, 2,90% a 1943 walker and a 1964d a 2001s proof and a 2007,100 colones from Costa Rica.
That box saved the day for me

4 boxes today.

Looks like the area is back to Loomis boxes after week and a half of random Brinks boxes.

A couple of NIFC, a Magicians coin, and a 1974D DDO.

Hopefully the finds pick up around here as the last Loomis boxes were bad, the Brinks boxes were almost as bad, and the current Loomis boxes aren't looking good.

Ordered one box this week. Bank of America.

Banker said, "no problem & we will call you Friday."

Was a no show.

Don't you just hate that.

My bank, also BofA, messed up my orders this week as well. Was supposed to get 4 boxes on Tuesday, and 4 more on Friday. Tuesday was a no show, and I was told all 8 would be there on Friday. Well stopped in today and only 4 boxes were ordered total... Oh well, I'll post my finds later tonight and this weekend. Looked at each box already and didn't see any enders, but still hoping for some silver!

Bad start to the new year. Went to dump my halves and the coin counter machine busted. Went to another bank to dump the rest and the bags filled. Went to my pick up bank to get my first box and it was a skunk!!!

my first 2 boxes of 2015 did not arrive. Or they arrived late, I am not sure. Either way, I did not get my call. I will have to find out Monday. Good luck to all this year! Let's find some good stuff!


**edit -Arby, that stacked roll is insane for a machine wrapped roll. Congrats and great pics too, thanks!

Skibdib, that was my best roll ever, and best three roll total out of a box, 29 -40%er in three rolls doesn't happen very often, I would be very surprised to ever see that again. Still haven't had a box this year. Can't wait until Tuesday. Good luck everyone.

Fellow hunters,
Got through a couple boxes recently with really good success, pics to come. Unfortunately my US Bank elected to charge me the $4.50 per box, which I of course agreed to since they got my boxes in. I've got another bank that isn't charging though.

Here's the tally:
Franklin - 1961, 1963
1964 - 5
40% - 11
Proofs - 1980, 2001
NIFC - 11
And a 1925 Stone Mountain Commemorative, really neat coin with neat southern heritage. Any comments on its worth are appreciated, though I intend to hold onto it!

Easily my best box yet:

Here's the next box. I'm pretty sure this and the previous box was someone's collection that got dumped, for whatever reason. In addition to the high number of silver in these two boxes, I also got the P&D version of a few different NIFC years which could be explained by someone's purged collection.

Sad to see someone's hard work go down a coin machine, but I'm please to have salvaged it for another generation.

Here's the tally:
Franklins; 2-'62, 2-'63
1964 - 7
40% - 20
NIFC - 20
1926 George V One Penny
Holed 71

A new best box by a landslide:
