I just want to mention to everyone, a reminder of how important it is to keep your tellers and bank managers happy, and become their friends or at least make them feel they are important. I received a phone call from one of my tellers today and she told me a woman brought in a bunch of change, Half Dollars and Ikes. Of Course I jumped up from my couch and went right over to the bank. I picked up 11 pieces of silver 3 of them Franklins 1-58D, 2-63D's, Also in the bunch are 3-66, 2-67 and 2-68, also 1-76S Silver. The cool part their was a lady customer there watching all this and she came and talked with me and told me she has a bunch of old coins and she might be interested in selling. Of course I gave her my number. We will see what happens. I also found out my bank just received over 10K in 2 dollar bills. So I may be searching them to see if there are any interesting ones. Please remember to keep your tellers happy, treat them well, when dumping coins, if someone else comes in and you still have a lot to dump, let them go ahead of you and then finish up behind them. It goes a long way when one is super kind and patient when dumping your coins. Enjoy the Pic. Nice Score Chet!

Keep your Tellers Happy!

Glad to see someone finding silver congratulations
and Arby, great find you broke that skunk streak.

Finished out the week with 9 more boxes
8,40%
2,90% 1963D Benny & a 1964D
Also found a 1986D statue of liberty coin
in excellent condition my best on yet.
Also a 1997D that has been silver coated
and the eagle has been gold coated looks like real gold to me. Appears to have been sprayed on. And a token from an investment firm when I seen the edge of it I thought it was a gold coin at first got pretty excited there for a couple of seconds.
Also a nice group of 15 proofs in very nice condition.
The silver all came out of the same box.
The other coins came out of 3 different boxes.

I see some are still having pretty good luck. That's a nice variety of coins trapper. At this point I've found so many proofs roll hunting I don't get too excited about them anymore, but they are still nice to find. I haven't found enough clad commemorative coins for the excitement to have worn off, and of course the excitement never wears off finding SILVER!!

I couldn't agree more arby. Often when I have other business in town I'll drop my coins off tell them I'll be back in 1-2 hours to pick up the cash. This gives them plenty of time to run them though the counter without felling rushed. If I go back in to pick up cash from a dump and they are busy, I simply take a seat in their lobby waiting area until things slow down for them, they've thanked me numerous times for my patience and not being upset when it takes a little longer than normal. I also try to remember to thank them every week both when I pick up my coins and when making dumps. Last week my wife and I were putting money into an IRA at another bank so we'd get that credit on our 2015 taxes, $3500. of those IRA deposits were half dollars. My regular dump bank is so good about not complaining that when I have large retail purchases or deposits at other banks I unload some of that weeks dumps on the other business/bank to help them out.

Nice score Chet, I always love finding a Walker.

I don't know why, but I like seeing the tokens. Thanks Trapper. Looks like you found someones Proof collection.

Arby, you are correct. I always try to keep my tellers/Managers happy. Gift cards, candy, donuts, etc. I have been given more silver at face value than I can count due to happy tellers.

Trapper once again nice score, glad to see silver still flowing around you. I still get excited with every coin that is not a normal clad coin. Slowly cutting into the roll, popping it open and seeing that rim that tells you its special. It keeps the hobby fun for me. Just typing about it gets me excited for next week.

Trapper,

It was crazy for me to click on this thread today and see an "Owasso" coin. I've searched hundreds of thousands of halves, lived in the city for over a decade and I don't remember seeing this coin.

OO

So I was lazy yesterday and didn't open the boxes I picked up until today, So I cracked open 8 boxes and box 7 yielded me 4 pieces of silver 1-65, 1-66, 1-67 and 1-68. Things has really slowed down sure hope May is a better month, will be tough because I will be taking the first week off. Wishing you all the best.

had a nice start to the week.

8 boxes, only 1 skunk.

05 x 90% including a 63d ben.
22 x 40%

one box had 4 enders, and produced 6 silvers!! 3 are in the top pic, but its tough to see in the pic.

That took me for a little bit of a loop. saved that one for last. It was not as good as the box with no enders, which I did first, which gave up 1 ben, 2 64s, and 6 x 40%. funny how that works.

64 ender was the only 64 in the box. 2 other 40% in that one.

a very nice start to the week, hoping to have a good finish too. but I was really expecting a big turnout for that 4 ender box, I could not believe how it turned out! Not to be ungrateful, just the math of it all.
