The yellow and white rolls bish posted is loomis, the brown and white plain is garda I think, look just like brinks, but dont say brinks. One thing I discovered in my town, is the same bank will use different curriers at different chains. My business account bank, all the ones on one end of town, use brinks, I dump at 5-6 of them. I pick up dimes and nickels at a few others. I was on the other end of town working one day, and went to a randoom different branch to dump, and garda, was wheeling coins in.
my personol bank, that orders my halves, also uses brinks, but iv never gotten the same coins back that I can tell.
Wish me luck boxes 10 and 11 tommorrow, no silver yet

Wow! Great finds, SilverCoinPicker, congrats!
Bish, what bank do you get your coins from, if you don't mind me asking? It seems you have no problem at all getting 9 boxes a week; I can barely get BOA to order me 2 a week and they're always late.

I've locked up 2 chase branches and 1 wells fargo for 12-15 boxes a week. due to vault limits and a few favors, I'm the only customer allowed to order halves at those branches. I also never dump anything on them and pay cash every time.
the tellers even let me search all their trays while I'm there.
i also set it up with 5 other branches around town to dump 2000/week just before armored pickups keeping their vaults free from stockpiles.

Silver Coin Picker, where do you go on "road trips" or how do you decide where to go or what banks to stop at? That is an AWESOME find, I'd love to try that, but of the few banks I've tried, they haven't had any halves :(

Thanks, great info Bish.
Do they do all that only for business accounts?
I have a business account at a bank and even with
being on friendly terms with a desk guy, they still
looked at me like I had two heads when I asked about
ordering halves. I'm on the east coast.

Went to my bank to deposit money for my half's tomorrow, but I asked if anything cool had been deposited. The head teller's eyes lit up Nd said yea! She grabbed 2 rolls of half's 3 Eisenhower dollars and a full roll for SBAs . I opened the half's and they were loaded with silver! I got a full roll o   ut of the two! My best find from cwrs   ! She asked what thwy.were and I said 40 percent silver, so I hope she doesn't snag them in the future but I'm still happy! 8 boxes tomorrow as well! |

You are amazing at finding silver halves, SilverCoinPicker. Do not be so greedy and leave some for the rest of us  Also I have a bit of bad news: Not only is that half dollar I found not silver, but it's not even a proof. I took it to my coin shop and they told me it was mangled up a lot with baking soda or something. Oh well. Back in circulation it goes. |
