I have found some old rolls at these random in the middle of nowhere banks. Old being usually customer wrapped from the 90's maybe 80's. I just ask the teller if they got any old or ugly looking rolls in the back, if so, they are happy to get rid of them as they would rather give "nice" looking rolls to the customer. I have seen where banks require customer wrapped that some reuse old wrappers. I got a wrap of nickels once that had "pre - 1960's" on it, not one pre-60 in it So you will run into that as well, just stinks because you get excited then you get bummed out big time searching the roll. Trial and error with a lot of driving around and/or calling.
My bank doesn't normally sell customer wrapped rolls. They say they can't confirm the roll count. So normally they just sell newly wrapped Loomis rolls. That being said, they have saved me some customer wrapped rolls lately, contingent on not guranteeing the coin count. That's ok with me, worth the chance. Last week they had one roll of Half Dollars. Out of 20 Kennedy halves there were six 40% silver!! Nice score!!
Wow, I wish I can find rolls like that. Picked up some half dollars a couple of weeks ago, nothing good. I'm assuming they were picked through
Yea, that was a rarity. Last time, 6 months or so ago, picked up 22 customer wrapped rolls of Kennedy Halves. No Silver.
I don't go through halves too often but I bought 30 machine-wrapped half rolls from a bank two days ago. No silver but lots of evidence of silver mining. I'm not sure why but one 2001-D had a sticker on the front with "40%" written on it. Then a lot with marker on them, which I don't like. There was a freshly-minted 2018 with "7" and "19" written on the front and four marker dots on the back. I applied Avon Skin-So-Soft and cleaned off the marker before placing it back into the roll. It is a really selfish and inconsiderate practice from miners to mark up halves like this.
Banks and CU's are all in business andvthe idea is to make a profit. They will get their coin from the same source.
