Well I'm on vacation and have a little time to try my luck on a few rolls. Havent done so in about a year. Silver has dried up so much now. I remember when I started out I would get solid silver rolls every once in a while and not think all that much about it. What I wouldnt give to do that now! But it was very addicting and fun, so I will once again make a visit to the banks. We'll see!  |

Is it just me or do some tellers look at you like "They know what you are doing..." when you ask them for half dollars?
I have just no dad-gum luck recently. I will continue the fight though. My current stash has not changed in weeks.

I actually encountered an elderly woman dumping coins at a coin machine today. I saw a silver-looking half, and I offered her a Sacagawea dollar for the half and a couple of Canadian coins that were rejected by the machine. It turns out the half was a '68-D. |

The tellers at my bank may know what I am doing or may not but I know they are not collecting, they always have loose half's in their drawers and I have made some nice finds buying them up.

Hello, I've been lurking for some time now. I live in Oklahoma. Been buying bags of $1k from my local bank with no luck. I'm thinking they are probably the same coins being used at the local casinos. So I switched to a national bank (BOA) last week. They use Brinks, which was bad news from my perspective because my original bank used Brinks. Ordered $1500 (Hoping they would order boxes or a mix). Received 3 Brinks boxes. First box had 10 1964 kennedy's, 6 franklin's, 1 extremely worn walker, and 2 nifc. By far my best box to date. My wife did the second box and found 11 nifc but no silver. Will do the other box tonight.
I want to offer a general "Thank You" to the members participating on this topic. The information has been very helpful and it's always nice to see how others are doing. I also have a general request. I'm always curious about the location, bank, types of bags or boxes, and the courier used by your bank. I realize some aren't comfy with providing this info but if you are....please do!

I got $240 in Brinks rolls from SunTrust. Almost all of them were between 2001-2005 (all uncirculated), but I did get one 1969 in that bunch.  Then at another bank, the teller had $26.50 in loose rolls and I ended up with a 1966 & a 1968!  |

My final box produced 4 40%ers, 1 really nice 1987, 1 1980 Proof, and a few NIFC kennedy's. I hope the first 3 boxes are a sign of what's to come! And if not, they've provided enough motivation to keep me charged up for awhile.

picking up my second box of half's today from the bank, I think while I am there I will try and get at least one box of nickels as well. Although my first box of half's only yielded 1 "S" proof I am totally addicted to roll searching.

thanks Biggfred and all. I ordered from one of my bank's branches. she said must be at least $500. I'm not sure about dumping. I guess I could always just deposit them into my bank? I don't think they could refuse me that, especially with business account. Can't wait though. Got $50 in nickels, my favorite right now, and got 8 rolls of BU 2011 P. Give 2 to friend collector and kept rest. Also got 1 War Nickel so far, but not done searching rest. Unfortunately, there's things getting in my way, like eating and sleeping. |

They can refuse it, but not likely with a biz acct.

A Hong Kong Dollar, that is cool, is it worth anything above face value?
