Bags instead of boxes?

    I was wondering where people have been able to pick up bags of coins? Every bank I have gone to has only had boxes. Does anyone think there is a difference between what they find searching bags vs. searching boxes?

    As for me I have a few different banks I go to for Lincoln's. The bags I get are wrapped by people and are $50 worth. The boxes are machine wrapped and $25 a box. Kinda a coin toss on to which one you prefer. The machine wrapped rolls do not discrimanate on as type of coin..wheat, indian head, error...person wrapped could possibly be from a collector and all the "good" ones are picked. So I guess take yor pick. I get both and have better success with the boxes. Good luck.

    I get bags from the bank that come out of the coin counting machine. They think im crazy!:goofer: $50 for cents $200 for nickels $500 for dimes $1000 for halves I don't do quarters I have searched 5 of them with nothing good. My favrite are the dime bags always full of surprises!

    Looking at Dimes

    "I get bags from the bank...........My favrite are the dime bags always full of surprises! People call themselves roll searchers im a sack searcher."

    I find my eyes are not like they used to be especially looking at Dimes. When I search Dimes all heads are up and I get out the magnifying glass. Unfortunately I have to twist and turn it to make out the date and MM. I'm wondering what is your procedure for looking at tons of Dimes and what type/power of magnifying glass you use.

    Me personally, when I searh dimes I only look for silver. My son will go through them after me and look for the 1982 no MM.
