The only coppers found were the ones that were as brilliant as new zincers. The only US cents found were zincs (except for one plus one wheat). In all, an average of one US zinc per roll. I did find 4 brilliant Shield cents, though (and a couple 2009s)! Also, a 1930 George, and a 2 Cents Euro. Sorry, no pics. I just wanted to bring up the point that the copper had been almost completely nicked by someone using my pickup as a dumping ground. I'll have to look around for other banks now.

cdcoinman Valued Member Canada 372 Posts	Posted 09/28/2010 10:12 am I started doing this box searching this year.Not impress as all the coins are always rerouted to companies like Brinks or Garda for re rolling and redistribution to businesses and banks. I found nothing to fall off my chair so far.If you visit the same bank you will be disappointed as you might receive the same rolls you already searched.My suggestion is go to a different city all together.

splatto Valued Member Canada 426 Posts	Posted 09/28/2010 11:01 am I've found great things in boxes, and others have been a bust. I tend to get four boxes of cents at a time and dump where I pick up, when I pick up (for the most part). I usually do that every 2-3 weeks or so. The vault manager at this particular bank tells me it is virtually impossible for me to get the same coin twice with this method, let alone the same roll or box. Report this Post to the Staff
cladhunter13 Pillar of the Community Canada 1161 Posts	Posted 09/28/2010 11:41 am I usually run a circuit. I hit all the different local banks. I dump at a different bank from where picked the boxes up at. I also make sure I mark the roll end with a black marker so I know if they are rolls I have searched before. I also mark the box with CRH + date + my initials. Just for my records. Report this Post to the Staff

Too bad about the copper though. I stopped pulling copper. It seems hopeless... who buys them? Report this Post to the Staff
Libertad Pillar of the Community Canada 3692 Posts	Posted 09/28/2010 3:46 pm Turns out I either misplaced it or read it as 1930 when it was most probably a 1936. Report this Post to the Staff
