Message:: [QUOTE="Phil's Coins, post: 8264944, member: 112104"]ATTN CRH:Several opinions offered on these pages are all very good ways to find coins. Today we got rained out at the golf course and my banker called me while on my way home and ask me to stop by the bank that she had a Suprise for me. In the past I have left my business card with her asking her to call me when someone turned in "Self Wrapped" coins. I have had very good luck with this lady and today was by far the best day of all. I got to the bank and she was standing there smiling at me as I walked in. After a few pleasantries she ask me if I still wanted any coins turned in by other customers, of course I said yes. About two hours before I got the call a young man came in with SEVERAL bags of coins. Unfortunately there were three bags of Quarters and half dollars that the bank manager said had to be turned in for counting(meaning they are now out of reach for purposes of CRH) She then pulled a cart from behind the desk and ask me if I was sure I wanted them that there is a considerable amount of money in rolls, of course was my response. The young man had an aunt that had just passed away and she left everything to him. I just purchase 27rolls of half dollars($270.00) $830.00 quarters, $805.00 in dimes$82.50 in pennies. (I got a hernia carrying them up the steps to my office). Of course when I did get them spread out on two tables, I started giving them a once over. I opened one roll of halves (4 pre 64) (4 pre 70) the rest a mix. I then opened a roll of dime and when I dumped them on the table ALL 50 WERE 90% SILVER Roosevelt, Mercury and a couple of worn barbers.The lesson here: MAKE FRIENDS WITH YOUR BANKER. Mine is going to be treated to the best dinner I can possibly arrange for her and her boyfriend.I have taken pics and if I can get them into the computer I will forward a shot.Semper FiPhil[/QUOTE]
