Anyone on here a bank teller or a bank worker?

Yes, paper reigns in banks these days. I did once receive a $1 silver certificate - from 1953, if I recall correctly - in change from a bank teller. The people who deal with the automatic change counter would be interesting to talk to. But I'm not sure where all of that coin goes or if it just gets shipped off sight unseen.

I'm not mad at you lol it's just that Markus guy...

 

He didn't do anything but offer a logical response by someone who, if he worked at a bank, would be loathe to reveal the source of his "gold mine" to other prospectors.

Well maybe I just took it the wrong way...

 

@Markus1959 can't be all bad. After all, he has pet ducks and plants a vegetable garden.

Why thanks Chris - I appreciate that!

 

Ok Markus, sorry about me being a butt, let's shake hands and forget about it. I'm fairly new to the site and still getting used to it...

 

Not a problem - we're cool!

 

Thanks man!

 

I run a teller drawer almost every day and go through all CWR rolls that come in except cents. I only go through those when i bag them up for shipment and i can dump them out without rerolling them. Extremely rare to find any silver. Best luck is dimes, but that's only a handful a year at best. I spend more time on the nickels since that is what I enjoy and have the best luck finding pre-1960. I have about $85 face value of them so far. I have ordered boxes of halves just for me to go through and it's a waste of time. I go through quarters, mainly to find the newest ATB P&D to fill my book for my son. Maybe only found 3-4 silver quarters in several years. Someone deposited $200 in Ikes recently but someone bought them all. I look at all SBA's for the 1979 near date variety. Find maybe 1 a year of those.

For those out there that swear Loomis pulls silver before wrapping, I don't believe it. If they did, then no silver should be found in BWR's. There are, just not much.

Moral of the story, there isn't much out there unless you are looking for varieties or things not easily noticeable like silver. I don't know of any other tellers who search coins so there is stuff out there. I know of a teller at a different Bank that sets the silver coins in the bottom of her tray to hold in to, but sold them to me at face.

I wasn't sure if tellers were allowed to look through rolls or not.

 

I am the manager so.....yep!

Some are, others aren't. Depends on the bank and or the managers.

 

So they sit there and look through rolls instead of actually doing their jobs? OH, now I know when I go into my banks there are 3 signs that say "This Window Is Closed"

 

Oh crap @Wheatie44 I was just saying - sure as heck didn't wan't to piss you off again tonight!! My friend!!

 

Hahaha Its ok now my freind, and yeah that probably is why the tellers are always closed
