^ I thought most people wanted to stay away from the bags? Are these bags sealed completely?

Also, when I exchange these in for cash, I was thinking about taking the big bag to a casino and exchanging it in there for money to play at the casino then just cash it out right away lol

that's a good idea, but the casino stuff has already been sorted through pretty well, from what my sources tell me.

Yeah, But I'm saying take the coins I already looked through to the Casino to get the money back instead of dumping at the bank just take it there.

The casino is my favorite place to take a dump.

Imagine, after all these years of them dumping on me, I finally get to return the favor!

10 boxes last night:

This has to be the strangest 10 boxes I have ever gone through.
We normally find more 40's than anything, and a few odd ball things, some 90%'s and if we are very lucky a Benny or a Walker.

Last night's results are:
4 40's
1 proof
3 Barber's (1906,1909 & 1912)
10 - Walkers (1917, 1917D, 1919, 1920, 1921, 1928, 1934, 1938, 1942, 1945)

Todd
Rest in Peace

toddstep. Are you kidding me? What a fabulous bunch of finds. My banks almost never have halves (say that fast) and when they have a roll or two that have been picked through. I can tell because a few coins have red dots and the rolls have a black line down the side. LUCKY YOU !

Does anyone have their bank tell you they will not order them? I have had this with 2 local branches. Also why do banks care if you have an account there when asking to buy rolls of coins? I can see them trying to open an account or not cashing in rolls from me but 3 banks I do not have an account with look at me like this a major inconvenience to even look.

Bags are usually better than boxes for me. I'd be all over that.

There is a bank in a nearby town that I visited a few times. I have an account with that chain. Of all the banks I have been to, they are far and above the snottiest when I ask for rolls of halfs. The first time I got 15 or so rolls, then only 2 or 3 each time. They ask if I have an account, and always look it up. Even the same teller I talked to more than once.

The last time I was in there and she asked if I had an account I said "Yes, just like last week when you asked me. Would it matter if I did not?"

"We like to keep our half dollars for our best customers!" was her curt reply.

I have been in at least 20 banks asking for halves lately, and have been asked that question only 3 times. At the 2 which I did not have an account with I still got coins. One of them said to open an account so they could order boxes for me!

I just got done looking through my first $100 of rolls.

I got a lot of Bicentennial Half Dollars. Though I did find a 1969 Half Dollar! I also found this really shiny and great condition 1986 Half Dollar. But for my first try at Coin Roll Hunting I'm very happy with find a 1969!

Either that's a misprint, or you, sir, suck!

PS: In a good way, you understand.

scott I had the same situation with a certain rather large national chain bank. now, I use them as my dump bank. they don't like me now, but hey they were snotty before anyway so it's a win/win for me.

My CU does $1000 bags....so I guess one might call them loose. they are sealed but I know they come from another branch that is anywhere from 5-30 miles away. Prob much easier to give me a bag they pulled off a counting machine (all the branches have them) than to order them.....they prob just make an exchange with a branch that has them available.
