It would be nice Nut if my banks can't keep up with regular boxes there's no hope,I wish!!!!.

 

I told my wife last night I think I'm in love with this head teller, haha! My wife didn't laugh...

I checked my coin searching spreadsheet. Out of the 7,000 Ikes I have searched I have found 4 ASEs, 1 generic round, 10 Morgans, 1 Peace, 5 silver Ikes, 4 '73D, and 4 '73 NIFC. The bag I searched last night was the most productive bag to-date. This may be due to the fact this bank changed coin couriers last year so this bag came from a new source.

 

Nice,Silver is silver.​

 

Hold on...that's silver lol?!
Looked it up...there's a silver and a clad, pretty sure this one is clad.

Hey, pure nickel is still a good find! Time for a magnet check...

 

It looks like an Impaired silver proof to me not the regular strike clad version,did you do the weight test.

 

NO MORE!! I have spent countless hours going through them all, I have a banker that gives me a call when someone turns in a bunch of rolled coins. I now tell her that unless it is quarters or half dollars, I no longer want them. Instead, I have been going to yard sales and have had very good luck finding people with lots of old coins, they never have them out, I alway just ask and have been very surprised at the results I have received. One case I described in an earlier CT post was a yard sale I went to and they had two sections going on; one inside the house and just outside same house and the other was a member of the family sitting just inside the opening to the barn, I went out there to see what was being offered and I saw an old coffee can with a price tag of $10.00, I ask him what was so special about the coffee can and he said it was full of pennies, I opened it and nearly dropped it, I say nothing but Indian Head Cent and Lincolns, I gave him the ten and went home. I am still going through them and thus far I have found one 1908 S in very good shape and one in what I would describe as rough with a little corrosion, I ran the coins through my counter when I got home and there were 1710 pennies, most were IHC the others were with very few exceptions all pre 58. So far my estimation of the value of the coins is well in excess of $400.
I now ask the wife if she wants to go to yard sales.

Found this hiding in a recent box of pennies--

 

Yup, 5.07 grams. Clad

 

Finger feeder scratches on a dime and a nice toner nickel with a bunch of machine doubling on both sides...

 

Interesting,by the rim it appears to be damage but it could be strike though(cloth)Make a thread in the error section.

 

Never mind I just saw the thread,neat find!!!.

 

Neat trick - my tellers can't order Ikes since the Fed will only deal with armored car companies, and they won't handle Ikes. What's your teller's secret?

 

Nice finds BTW - better than any of my scores with Ike bags...

 

I just delivered cookies to the head teller and the other bank employees a moment ago. They were very happy, esp given it is Monday of a 5-day work week!

I guess it is a case of "who you know, and not what you know", but I honestly do not know.

Been along time since I’ve found a 38. Good job
