Message:: [QUOTE="tbudwiser, post: 1275726, member: 32774"]For my first time, I simply walked over to my local US Bank and asked for $44 worth of coins (just so happened to be the amount in my wallet @ the time). I asked for 2 rolls of quarters, 2 rolls of dimes, and 5 rolls of nickles (they were out of pennies which is what I was really after). This was more like a trial time to see if finding something would fulfill that feeling of finding a star note. And it did. It didn't take much either. I'm not sure if I did good or not, but this is what I found:(all nickles) 1939 P (no mint mark) (silver year or not, I can't remember?), 1958 D, 1962 P (no mint mark), and a 1962 D. [ATTACH]140538.vB[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]140539.vB[/ATTACH]I know the '39 and '58 are old enough to collect just because they are old, but are the '62 and '61 old enough? I'm not really trying to collect based on all years or anything like that, I am just looking for some old coins and through that hoping to find some silver. So all I want is coins that are considered old. What do you guys think? Also, I was interested in finding out what a 'box' is. For instance, how much is a box of pennies? Box of nickles? Dimes? Etc... P.S. The teller their shorted me 1 nickle for each roll of nickles and 1 dime for one of the rolls, is this common amoungst banks to short like this? I have heard cases before...[/QUOTE]
