Had a little streak of silver, with at least one in each of three boxes. But, that streak is over. Got skunked today. And only found one NIFC!

Sdcoin,

It really depends on your bank. Some keep their own vault, others use a depot. Either way all our coins are coming via depot center as fed only deals in bags for deposit/withdrawal. You can see if you bank does its own processing or outsources it. My bank gets coin tues and Friday. Head teller said she would order me as many as I have money for so long as she never has to vault them. But then my bank is a huge bank with the as much as you can use services from the fed and carriers. I do know that some come from Pittsburgh and some from Cleveland. All are the flat boxes.

My advice is to find a friendly head teller and flirt, drop off office gifts ( but given only to her/him). Basically truly try and make friends, and they will bend over backwards. If anyone finds a bank that will order directly from fed, in the bags, I'd love to try 10k in those bags.

Congrats, Rew.

Can anyone explain the Supermarket bags someone mentioned a few pages ago?

A teller at my usual pick-up bank told me today that they had a $100 bag of halves in the vault that they had forgotten about for years. I bought it up real fast, and was not disappointed with what was inside!

Found a whopping FIFTY SEVEN 40%ers, and four 90%ers (all 1964)!!


Most are in AU condition, and one of the 1966 appears to be a circulated SMS coin.

I'll put some pictures up a little later

Great score Kerifroth. That is the kind of find that keeps some of us going in the dry spells.

Kefiroth, nice haul! I find unsearched rolls sometimes, but an unsearched BAG? Now that's a rare occurrence.

Went to Point Roberts USA today (I'm Canadian) and picked up $300 halves, found 7 40%s and now I'm not sure what to do with the other 593 coins LOL. Canadian banks won't take them.

Bish... where are you from? I found your same GREEN SPRAY PAINTED HALVES! Here in South Dakota... I wonder how long ago they were painted, how many, and how long it's taken circulate this far. I am from South Dakota.

True, but even with that amount of those, you're still doing pretty good with your finds :) Anyways, it's cool to see how these travel across the country, but not cool I'm not finding any silvers like you :)

Thanks for the speedy response!
