I wouldn't say you're greedy. The only people it could be of annoyance to are the bank tellers, and if they're all right then go for it.

It's not greedy if they are offering... If you have the time and cash go for it. Bring a treat in for the tellers every now and then to show your appreciation

Twice a year I purchase stuff for the Tellers and Manager of the bank to show my appreciation, It seems to work, Omega, It is strange to me that banks only allow you to dump so little, I dump anywhere from 2-4 thousand a week at my banks and they don't even blink. I purchase $2000 at a time and dump the same $2000 the next day. One of these banks I purchase from and dump. These institutions need to remember they work for you and its their job to satisfy their costumers. I just don't get it, maybe I am spoiled living in such a small town? I do have accounts at each bank.

Arby's, it sounds like you have a good setup. You've certainly done well!

If a bank offers to buy more boxes, I'd accept if I have a good deposit plan in place.

Thanks guys, I follow Arby by purchasing Lunch for this bank 2 times a year and gift cards at Xmas.
My other bank the head teller is the only one that deals with me, so she gets a larger gift card 3 times a year.

I will take them up on the offer, I have a decent amount deposited but I will add another account to show my gratitude.

Thanks again everyone

What a lousy finish to the week, 4 boxes all skunks, and the worst part is when I opened box 1, one of the enders was a coin I marked and found twice before, not only that boxes 3 and 4 had one of each in them too. There was a date I put on one of them from 12/15, so that is now three times I have seen those coins this time no silver. Oh well that is part of the game search and dump. Wishing you all better luck, messing blessings to you all. Hope next week is better, missed my weekly goal by 5 pieces.

Sign its not going to be a good box X4

sorry to hear arby, its such a head game, what we do here. I got double skunked today, and saw lots of marks. Recently Ive seen marks from a local hunter, and I'm wondering how much dumps I'm getting.

I also have no idea how much of my own dumps I'm getting. I dump at 3 different banks. If I was to mark coins, a different mark for each of those 3 banks, I could maybe find out later which one(s) I was getting coins back from. But if I don't mark, ignorance is bliss. So I could be in your situation now, and not even know it.

Is it better to know or not know? I dunno, but the business man in me says I should mark to learn what is happening.

nice quick profit alpha, gotta like a turn and burn....


And Arby, for the record, that is a very artistic ender mark of yours there! :-D

berto, I am sure you are right, after all I don't buy boxes just rolls that tellers have. I will say that B of A tellers are quite accommodating. I went to one in eastern Washington and the head teller literally ran to the vault to get me some rolls while her customer was on the phone. I can't complain about that. Most tellers are glad to get rid of the rolls.

I'd be tickled to death finding that much silver in just 38 rolls. I search 6 boxes (300 rolls) per week and sometimes don't find that much, if any silver. If I find and ounce per week (300 rolls) I feel I've had a pretty good week. I've been searching since Nov. 2014 and have probably searched approximately 15,000-20,000 rolls and just broke 150 oz. of silver from searching this week, as you can see from my numbers you're way ahead of the averages. I had one streak that I think I went 19 boxes (950 rolls) without any silver. About 1/2 of the silver I've found came from 3 lucky boxes that were loaded with silver. I'm not sure how many boxes arby96 searches per week, but his goal is 10 pieces of silver per week. If you don't think it's worth the time you spent looking, don't do it, it will be more for the rest of us.

I have found that my easiest dump bank is our casino! If you have a casino - most of them will do coins for free (usually pay out in chips or payout slip though).

Now I am feeling guilty for being a whiner.

Perhaps I should go to another new bank and see what I can find?
