<p>[QUOTE=&quot;scottishmoney, post: 1623729, member: 12789&quot;]I would check the coins if they are coming out in rolls or even boxes before you buy them to make sure they are not newbs.&nbsp; Now occasionally I take newbs - but not to search, but to use as a bargaining chip with other banks that have boxes of older coins but won&#039;t let them because they need them for businesses - I tell them businesses like giving out brand new coins(true) and just trade the boxes with them.&nbsp; It helps to get in good with your bank or credit unions vault teller, he or she is your primary contact in the bank - well they are mine and I have them on speed dial on my cellphone.</p><p><br /></p><p>Good amount to start with - my method is &quot;as much as you will sell me without breaking the bank&quot;.</p><p><br /></p><p>I open my rolls and sift out the coins on a wool blanket.&nbsp; As noted by Manbeast, I would invest in some good anti-microbial soap for your washup afterwards - there are coins that come out stuck together with jam, syrup and God knows what but I don&#039;t care to.</p><p><br /></p><p>I have a little reward programme, I let them know if I find something 100 years or older they get a box of candy.&nbsp; I had to give out a box of Sunkist candy just this morning because I found a 1909 in a box of cents this morning.&nbsp; I also have been known to give out tickets for plays, gift cards(only a few banks allow that though) and hockey and baseball tickets to tellers.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
