JFK Half Dollar Roll Hunters: Silver, Proofs And Other Finds

Hit the banks that are full of 19 year old tellers - many of them don't even know that silver used to be in coins.

Just curious for you guys who order boxes, how do you get rid of your dumps? I have been using a coin machine at a local bank but I was informed that my dumping was unacceptable for their machine.

I opened my girls an account at BB&T and was up front with the lady. I told her the reason why I was opening accounts was because of the coin machine and if they had any problems with me using it...alot. She had no problem with it. It is a smaller band in town, so maybe they might be more accommodating. My box should be ordered on Mon. I am pretty excited.

I am thinking about getting back into this. Have not done it in a few months since I had to use the funds to make a down payment on a house, but now the $ reserves are back and I think I will give it a whirl. I will probably get to know these tellers at my new banks pretty well :)

1 Box total today

1- 1942P Walker
2-67's

Not good at all!

Getting one more box tomorrow- I'm cutting back to only 2 boxes a week as my local banks are also starting to complain about the volume through their coin machines and now are charging service fee's for bulk usage.

None of the BB&T's I've seen in North Carolina have Coinstar. I opened an account with a local RBC because they do have one (come to find out it's the only one around). I just reroll the halves and turn them in at BB&T. The Coinstar has been seeing alot of nickels though!

In my area I do not have banks that have coin counting machines, so I re wrap all my coins, but I don't get but maybe a hundred at the most so my dump banks haven't said anything yet.
I feel for you Chuckster, I know none of us wants it to end, but maybe still just ask for customer rolls now and then. Twangator seem to do well with fed rolls on a more regular basis, but for me customer rolls ( or loose)yield better on the whole.
Hey eddiespin, dont give up!, go for a road trip like Motos. I really think small towns are the way to go because if customers bring rolls to the banks in little towns, they probably hang on to them longer because it takes a while to add up before they ship them out. I believe there are more older people in these towns that have been saving for a long time, but in this economy are sadly having to dig in their piggy banks to cash in. Not that we are vultures waiting for this, but it is a fact and kind of like "the circle of life". As for your 9 boxes, wow, that is a dry spell of the worst! but maybe just relax and take a trip, remember this is fun and anything we find, we are up! I do believe yours is coming!
