So far I've searched 3 of my 6 boxes for the week. Box 1,(1) 1982 Medio Balboa, (3) 2002-date NIFC, (1) 1982P No "FG" my fourth in about the last month. Box 2,(1)2005 Proof, (1) 2015 NIFC, I've gotten over 100 of these in the past 3 weeks. Box 3,(3)2002-date NIFC Taking a short break between boxes and will probably do 1 more box tonight. So far my silver skunk streak is back to 3 boxes. The 3 boxes I've done so far this week have been Brinks boxes. I've got one more Brinks box to go then I'll crack open a couple fed boxes. Will post more later, hoping to break the silver skunk streak with this next box!! A few weeks ago I opened an account with another bank to use for a dump bank. Everything there is going great, the head teller gave me bags to bring the coins back in and told me to bring in as many as I wanted  . Using 1 bank to dump $3K worth a week is great. The vault is near the tellers so I always carry the bags to the vault door for them. They were getting me halves at one branch and even taking some of my dumps without a problem at another branch before I opened an account. I'm working on weeding out a bank that I'd been doing business with for 30+ years, because they wouldn't get me halves and didn't like taking them unless I was depositing them saying it cost them too much money. I opened a checking account with the new bank and moved my direct deposit to them. When some of my long term deposits (CD's & IRA's) at the old bank mature they're going to lose more of my business. I'll show them if they're not willing to help me there are other banks that will and they will get my business. If I don't forget, next week when I take my dumps I'm going to take the tellers at the new bank some chocolate to show my appreciation. I took in some chocolate to one of my pick up banks awhile back, ever since all the tellers have been more helpful. Before it was mainly the head teller who was ordering and taking care of my needs. I also need to take in some chocolates to my other pick up bank since all the tellers there have been helpful. Edited by RCook

Decent finds (I call the proof a win). Hopefully the next three are at least as productive, if not more. (i.e. SILVER!) |

Took a dozen donuts to 2 different banks that had been helpful. The first has almost never had halves since then (perhaps 18 months ago); the second advised me they were going to start charging me above face.
Hit 5 banks today -- nothing at 4, the last had $1 face. Included a 67.

Well after scoring big with CWR 9 days ago I hit up about 10 banks. I got a 40% and a 64 out of 2 rolls from one bank 2 40% out of two rolls from another and one bank had 8 lose 7 ended up being 40% and the other a 64. I guess I should try checking in on banks and asking for what they have on hand more often.

Today, I bought a 1952-D Franklin from a teller's tray. I then went to another branch to order a box, so I hope to find more silver when I crack the rolls open.

I think I found a hoard. Went to six or seven banks, and found nothing. At the next one, a teller had two old rolls that were coming apart. I then heard the "clink". They were almost all silver! 3 90%: 1964 x 3 40 40% 1965 x 1 1966 x 2 1967 x 20 1968D x 16 1969 x 1 The lady had no idea what she had!  Edited by CPC24

I haven't had a find this good in years. I did the math; this is right at 7 ounces! The paper had the dates on it. Someone had sorted the rolls by date, and I got all of the 1968D roll, and most of the 1967. She had loose silvers in her tray, too. I almost didn't see those.
