Who gets rolls from the bank?

Come on, I know everyone has done it. Go to the bank and buy $20 in pennies, or couple hundred in nickels, dimes, and quarters?

I was just wondering how many of you guys still go to the bank, doens't have to be everyday, but everynow and then go to the bank and pick up a few rolls from the bank? I know I always ask my teller if she has any half dollar rolls, sometimes she does, but it's mostly no.

And if you guys have, what the best coin you guys have ever found?

Got 5 rolls of halfs today. Found one 1967 and a couple of 1983P half dollars that are supposed to be scarce?
Best find was two 1944 Walking Libertys in the same roll.

 

I make a trip every week, halfs as many as I can get, 20 rolls of nickels, 20 rolls of cents.The halfs I am looking for the same thing we all are looking for. The nickels I just like searching Jeffersons, the cents die varieties.The halfs are hard to get but I find a way but I know everyone there so they are good to me.

 

WOW i thought i was the only one....i get my weekly paycheck and go to the bank on saturdays....i get rolls of jeffersons and the occasional lincolns...best find was...well nothing too extrodinary yet...lol

 

I mostly get halves from the big local bank, normally I have 2 or 3 40% silver halves and 1 or 2 90% silver per roll, however there are some that are awesome and some that have nothing.

Remember you will learn more about coins if you come here, read books, and roll search there out there and they won't you to find them.:hail:

 

The only thing I bother to get at the bank are rolls of halves and its usually the 40% ones that I run into, once in a while there will be 90% Kennedys. I've never had the pleasure of finding a Walker or Franklin in a roll but I know they're out there....somewhere.

 

Well... I never did so, but be sure I will!!! Good idea!
And it costs nothing (but what you find and keep)...

 

I go to the banks nearly every week - when I get off of work at a reasonable time - and get BOXES of coins. $25/box for cents, $100/box nickels, etc.

Best find: 1914-d cent in VG

 

Hmmmm....boxes.....iam gonna see about that.....and yes bruce iam reading and learning thatks for the support...

About every two to three weeks I go to one bank and get a $50 bag of cents, $100 bag of nickels and as many rolls of halves as I want which is slowly tapering off to 4 or 5. I used to get 20 to 50 rolls of halves but never found a thing so slowly stopped that. I have several savings accounts in different banks so there is no charge for either getting coins or returning coins as there is in some places. I've been doing that for well into the 50 year area now. Lots and lots of duplicates but the finds are running thin with the latest coin collecting boom around here anyway. There are at least 3 coin shows a month withing 12 miles of me.

 

I think a quick search of the forums will reveal quite a few roll searchers hanging around CoinTalk. I've been doing it regularly for approximately 18 months now. My best find so far has been a 1949-S Franklin in about MS-62 condition.

Good luck to all.

 

I just bought 13 rolls of 1/2 dollars to begin a collection of Kennedys for the kids. We found a lot of coins to fit the new book. Included was one 1964. It was the only great piece and we were thrilled because it was the first coin in our set!

What the heck is the mintage on 1999s anyway? We got about a ton and a half of them in only $130.00 worth! Sheesh. Also, does anyone have any idea how hard it is to find P mint marks here in Denver? LOL

 

I get new rolls from the bank And I have been known to get halves to fish for silver.

 

sorry for not knowing anything but, how do you know if a coin has 40% or 90% silver? is it because of the year? And wich are the most rare mintmark letters?

 

I'm just north of you in Wyoming. For the past 6-8 months I've been working on a Dansco Kennedy album that runs through 2007. I'm missing maybe 5 coins, all Philadelphia mintmarks. I did buy the 1970-D and the 2006-P from a coin shop, but the rest have come from circulation- that includes every coin 1990-2005, Ps and Ds, the 2006-D, plus both 1987s. The only ones I'm missing are from the 1970s, and that is only because I haven't found ones nice enough to keep. I'm shooting for all AUs and better.

 

I get 2-3 boxes of halves about once a month. I think my total that I've gone through now is about $10,000. (in fact I've got a trash can at my feet right now with about $2000 in halves that I need to take back to a bank - drives my wife crazy. I've found a number of 2002, 2003, 2004, a lot of 40% and a number of 90%. I've found 3 franklins. Right now what I'm working on is my I've got alandl D's and P's except 1987. Now I'm working on my S's. I've found 9 S's but unfortunatly two of them I already had. My best find though has been a 1970D. My goal is to get a complete set of 1964 - present out of circulation. I'll probably never get it done, but its fun to try.

I started out searching rolls for silver, but now I'm really doing it to complete the set. Any silver I find is just gravy.

 

How do you guys get/give the coins to the bank. Do you have one bank you get them from, and one you give them too? It's weird though, eventhough it's money, the tellers don't really appreciate me taking it and then giving it back. Some banks wouldn't even give me any coins becuase they have to roll it themselves. I told them I would pre-roll them for them, but they said that their machine had to count it.

 

leuquim -
As far as Kennedy halved go the only ones that are 90% silver are the 1964 and 64-d the 40% halves are 1965 - 1970. The 1970-d Kennedy is the rarest at 2.1 million. Everything else 1964 and older is 90% silver from dime to half dollar.
