Not really an "old" thread since it is on page 1988 and has been responded to very frequently. Do you still search? Why or why not?

 

Thanks. I have a 2x 1940s and a 1942, but they're not as nice as that '48. Someone took the liberty of scratching each of them across the obverse :'(

 

This is a bin I've been collecting for a while while CRH lincoln cents. This has taken me around a year to acquire. Some of the larger coins are pickups from coin counting machines. Photos are from the same bin, just had it tilted for the second shot.

 

I'd hate to inventory those

 

Thanks everyone, always be kind to your bank Tellers and Managers. I have to say the start to this week has been Awesome my first four boxes no skunks. I pulled 17 Troy ounces, which equals 94 pieces of silver. 90%ers, 18-64's 10 D's and 8 P's, 40%ers, 5-65, 14-66, 29-67, 16-68, and 11-69's. Since I was gone most of last week, I should have 8 extra boxes this week to open. Its always exciting to open a box and see several silver enders. Had a total of 5 enders in my last box. Enjoy the pics.

 

Holy cow! Thats a score!

 

I arrived back in town after vacation and stopped at the bank with my favorite head teller who orders halves for me each week, and Ikes occasionally. She had my 2 boxes of halves plus 300 Ikes! She had sold me 700 of a 1,000 batch of Ikes she received a few months ago. The 300 were the remaining Ikes of the 1,000 batch. She was somewhat annoyed the customer who had voiced interest in buying the 300 Ikes never showed up to buy them...Their loss is my gain! She really is a great gal. She knows I will buy all halves and Ikes that come into the bank, so I believe I won't miss out on much despite the one silver sniping teller who works there.

I am setting aside the Ikes until I have more time to take a close look at them this winter. It's like a zero interest savings account

Good luck everyone!

 

My next set of four boxes all skunks.

 

I’m assuming that was sarcasm, but just in case, this is my idea of a good time!

 

Went to meet a guy from another forum over the weekend. He had 12 bags of cents from a coin machine sitting around since ~2012 that he never got around to searching. He has since moved on in his hobby and sold them to me for face value. So far I've only searched 1 bag...but I've opened and boxed 3 others. Most of the coins are memorials which is great. This is in one of the boxes waiting for me to search.

 

You’re not going to believe this... I had only enough time tonight to edge check the 300 large dollars I picked up Monday:





I’m still in shock.
Btw, The uppermost coin in the group photo is a pristine bicentennial Cu-Ni proof, not silver, but it’s a keeper for me.

 

Nice!

 

wow!

 

I admit to having a hard time believing it, but I’m happy for you.

 

Really awesome and incredible Berto! I’m stoked for you. Those are so hard to come by in the wild. Kudos!

 

Congratulations Berto! I dream of finding silver dollars in the wild!

 

I still cannot believe it. Those silver dollars went through many hands before finally making it to me:

1) Deposited at a bank by an ignorant person (or thief?).
2) Accepted by a teller at said bank.
3) Counted by head teller at said bank before being sent to the local coin vault (Loomis, Dunbar, etc.).
4) Bagged in a 1,000 coin bag at the coin vault.
5) Delivered to my bank in said bag.
6) Bag opened and coins hand-counted and rolled by my favorite head teller.
7) Handed to me by the head teller.

Absolutely astonishing.

Before this, I had found only 3 silver dollars over the past 4 years. All 3 were individual finds in a few loose large dollars I bought from different tellers at different banks, so the coins had only been through numbers 1, 2, and 7 above, which is much more likely than 1 through 7.

I realize this was likely a once in a lifetime event, and am thankful to have experienced it.

Good luck everyone!

 

Several weeks ago I was at the Coin Star at my bank dumping some coins. When I got through I turned around and there was a lady with a small baggie of coins. I said your next. She said she has never used one one of the coin machines. I showed her how to use the machine and when she started putting in the coins in from the baggie, all I saw were wheat backs and silver. I asked her if she really wanted to put those in there and she said that her husband was out in the car. He said to just get rid of them. They were his brothers coins who had just past away. I said I would buy them off of her, but she said lets see how much there is. I told her that you can't get them back. It made me sick and I had to walk away. Just another way these coins get back into the system.

 

Return to that bank, say NOTHING of what you found, bring treats, buy more dollar rolls.
