Chadwick Valued Member United States 271 Posts	Posted 12/19/2009 02:43 am My Coinstar wins has been by checking the return bin everytime I walk by one. Yeah, I know it makes me look like the kid hoping to find the quarter in the pay-phone, but I've scored some nice dimes that way. Last big score was a two-for, 1942d and 1940p dimes. I would guess they would be graded vg. But still, no investment, free silver. It all goes to my son when I pass on. Thats my plan, same as my father did for me. Report this Post to the Staff
mercapri302 Valued Member United States 95 Posts	Posted 12/20/2009 03:08 am Hanging out around these places does help, I suppose. :-) Last year, I was in line at the customer service/lottery desk at the supermarket when a guy wanted to change his dime for a new one - he was trying to buy a newspaper and the self-checkout wouldn't accept his dime. Wonder why... :-) I told him that it was silver and he should keep it, but he didn't care. After trading it for a regular dime, I offered it to the cashier, since I "stole" the silver from her. She didn't care. People just are too ignorant/don't care about collectible coins. This was the same supermarket with the small bank branch inside that once gave me SEVENTEEN Morgans plus various silver halves. Not gonna argue, though... :-) Report this Post to the Staff
Erwindoc Valued Member United States 265 Posts	Posted 12/20/2009 07:31 am There arent too many banks in my area that have free service like that. I didnt even know this one was available. I have avoided them for such a long time due to the fees. These were the cents I had tossed in the piggy bank during the course of the year. I had about 1800 cents if I remember, so it was worth the 1.80 in fees so I didnt have to roll these. I could have done the gift card, but they are places I dont shop too much. For roll searching, I agree it would be alot of money down the drain and rerolling them at the same time would be very easy. A friend told me about one at his bank that is free for customers. I might have to open up a new account if I decide to do more roll searching! Report this Post to the Staff
