@man2004 - sure, it's possible to buy bags of loose coin from the counting machine. I use to do it all the time, before I quit hunting a couple years ago. Possible, but not always easy.

I'm going to the wrong banks. When I ask about half dollars, the bankers give me an inquisitive look and tell me they only come in boxes of rolls. I'll try a few more banks down here (S. Florida). In Ohio, it was never a problem getting bags back in the 80s. But, that is a long time ago.

I ordered more rolls from 3 different banks over 2 weeks ago. There seams to be a delay on getting half dollars or the bankers are getting tired of supplying them!

Hi, all. Over the years I was able to get State Quarters from local banks to save and see what they did. Well, IMO they did nothing.

I got them as they were issued by the mint.

When I moved seven years ago I packed them up and didn't see them until about a month ago when I looked through the box I put them in.


The list is:

2004-P Iowa--1 roll
2004-P Wisconsin--1
2005-P California--1
2005-P Minnesota--2
2005-P Oregon--1
2007-P Utah--2
2008-P Oklahoma--3
2008-P New Mexico-5--Why, I don't know.
2008-P Arizona--2
2008-P Alaska--2
2008-P Hawaii--2

I tried to sell them at face value at the local coin clubs I attend but nobody wanted them so I'm going to use them to buy a suit of clothes for me to be buried in. LOL

Anybody want any at face value, let me know. Don't think CCF would allow that to happen.

Thanks and keep roll hunting!

We found a 69, a 64, and a 71 proof in a $500 box last night. 3 out of a 1000 coins isn't bad. It took about an hour and I've peaked the interest of a new 14 year old roll hunter/collector!

We went through the second $500 box tonight. Skunked! Time to dump these rolls and get a reload!
