Nice try smoke ! I know my self which bank provide bags and can tell you that have nothing with brinks ! I dont gonna post again and again where People can get bags from because I did manytimes ! But for everybodyelse I tell right now banks that get coins wraped by brinks ll never get bags of halfs ! Trust me ! Never , brinks never ! Dont push smoke or your secret ll be no more secret {just kidding( no I'm not kidding)lol} but you are right about is almost impossible to find a silver vein in a brinks box because they get coins from the 2 biggest dumps BoA and tdbank ( all rolls searchers know that we use td coinarcade and BoA to dump full boxes who have a good relationship with the bank like my case and most of these who search many boxes a week )
I always give tips to everyone and manytimes got no answers to my questions so come on boys , you have to do your own research to find out or just read the entire tread and think about it ! Is not like the secret of the century ! If you are a experince roll searcher is right there for you !

Ricardo, I used Brinks solely as an example. It was the first company that came to mind. I could have said Wells Fargo instead. Or whatever particular company you want to say.

Today I went to the bank, Planned on getting a box of nickels, 100$ in dimes, and a box of pennies. They did not have the nickels, but told me they had 200 in halves so I decided to pass on the dimes and just get the 200$ in half dollars and 25$ in pennies. Good thing I did because there were 2 90% half dollars!
It has been odd and now I hope I dont jiinx myself, but to this point I have found 4 90% half dollars and only 2 40% half dollars, does it strike anyone else odd that I have found more 90% halves then 40% halves?

OK, so I've been trying to find a bank with halves in my area for about 3 weeks now. I wandered into a Bank of America, and lo and behold, they had some! I was able to pick up $90 in halves, which broke down as follows: (Mostly D marks, a handful of P, no S marks) 2000 - 2 1997 - 1 1996 - 8 1995 - 2 1994 - 2 90,89,85,83,82,80,70 - 1 1974 - 9 1973 - 2 1972 - 2 1971 - 3 1976 - a whopping 136, mostly uncirculated And some silver! 1964 - 3 1962 - 1 Two questions for those in the know: 1)the 1982 has a variety listed, a 'no FG', which I assume is due to Die Deterioration. Does this coin have states of value? The 82 in my rolls has a barest hint of an FG, but no wear on the surrounding high point to indicate that it was a full FG that has been worn down. I'm guessing there is only value if there is absolutely no hint of an FG. Sorry, I don't have access to my camera right now. 2) Other than pulling it out of a proof set, is there any good way to determine if a coin is a proof versus a business strike, again, specifically looking at the Kennedy halves. |

Why, oh why won't my banks act more like the coin shops that I want them to be?

Really didn't think I would be able to top the Obama Gold Halves from last week, but this week did it.
I opened a roll, saw a coin that stood out a bit, almost looked copper with no reeded edge, so I say hmmmm...this looks interesting...oh wait it's just a 1938 Canadian cent :(

Pretty sure they're worth like 47 cents each.

I am going to be making my first serious foray into roll searching tomorrow. Bandwagon woohoo! My bank would not order just one box of halves, so I had to get two. They never carry halves in stock. There better not be any Canadian pennies in those fat rolls.  |

The Obama halves are worth 50cents, last year they were worth a buck.
I found one too, they are hilarious.

awwww poor silveryears, you're stuck getting 2 boxes of hidden treasures haha.
good luck, and that icon is about how I felt when I realized it was a 1938 cent and not an 1838.

Ricardocody -- my bad, the 1970 was a mistype, it should have read 79...
