<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Extreme, post: 1471541, member: 38677&quot;]I had to wait until payday to do it, but it finally got here, and I set&nbsp; out to get some rolls. I figured I would start small, maybe a box of&nbsp; pennies, and a few rolls of the others, so I went to my bank. Where I&#039;ve&nbsp; been banking for almost a decade. And talked to a teller I&#039;ve known so&nbsp; long, that I switched from my old bank to this one when she left. And&nbsp; oooooh boy was her reaction not what I expected. </p><p><br /></p><p>Maybe she was&nbsp; having a bad day, but I went in and started talking to her and asked her&nbsp; if it would be possible to get a box of pennies, and a few rolls of&nbsp; each of the other coins. You would have thought I told her I was on bath&nbsp; salts and ready to eat her face. Instead of a polite no, she proceeded&nbsp; to berate me about how it doesn&#039;t matter how long I&#039;ve been a customer,&nbsp; they don&#039;t just give that stuff out to anyone who asks, because they&#039;re a&nbsp; small bank, and they save all the coinage for their business clients.&nbsp; Her tone and voice were just terrible. So I did what any reasonable&nbsp; person would do. I closed my account <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie8" alt=":D" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> Not because she told me no, but&nbsp; because I&#039;ve never been one to just sit there and take it when someone&nbsp; mouths off to me for no good reason. </p><p><br /></p><p>So I went across the street&nbsp; to Wells Fargo. They were more than happy to help me out, and never&nbsp; even bothered to ask if I had an account. The teller just went straight&nbsp; back to the manager and informed her, and the manager went with someone&nbsp; else into the vault to get it, and I was in and out in a matter of&nbsp; minutes. I had read some of the stories on here about the experiences&nbsp; people have had doing this, but deep down I thought it was an&nbsp; exaggeration. Definitely not.</p><p><br /></p><p>When I got home, my daughter was&nbsp; almost as excited as I was to sort through everything. Some things I&nbsp; found, I know are worth something. I had nothing special at all with the&nbsp; half dollars. 1971 was the earliest, so I didn&#039;t even get a 40% silver&nbsp; piece, but it was fun. So here&#039;s what I got......</p><p><br /></p><p>Pennies - Lots of Wheaties, lots of copper, nothing special. I think I might start hoarding some copper and sell it off. Earliest Wheatie was a 1940. </p><p><br /></p><p>Dimes&nbsp; - I got a 1996 Dime with what appears to be a doubled acorn on the&nbsp; reverse. I&#039;m not 100% sure of that, so I will post a picture. It could&nbsp; be post mint, it&#039;s just so small it&#039;s hard to tell for sure. I will do&nbsp; the best I can with the pic, but it&#039;s a camera phone, so there isn&#039;t but&nbsp; so much I can do.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH]185042.vB[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>Nickels - I got a 1943 War Nickel, a 1936 Buffalo Nickel, and a 1983 P where it appears Jefferson has no neck.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH]185046.vB[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>Quarters&nbsp; - 2006 North Dakota with a possible die crack. Not 100% sure, but&nbsp; hopefully it will show up good on the pictures so some of the experts&nbsp; here can determine that. I also got a 1988that&#039;s missing some letters&nbsp; on the back, and a 1977 with filled in die stamps on the mint mark and&nbsp; the word &quot;IN&quot;.</p><p>[ATTACH]185043.vB[/ATTACH][ATTACH]185044.vB[/ATTACH][ATTACH]185045.vB[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>And I must say, I am fully addicted after the first trip, and going back today.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
