[QUOTE="BigsWick, post: 211939, member: 3534"]Ugaman72, I'm in my 3rd year of searching rolls. I've cut back considerably since I started in 2005, but I remember with clarity the "looks" I initially got whenever I went into my bank and asked for rolls of coins. One time a teller refused to sell any to me. She said she needed them for her commercial customers. I asked to speak with a manager, explained to the manager that I was a collector, and asked how many rolls I could search weekly without being "hassled." We agreed on a comfortable number and I never had another problem. This year I cut back on the amount I was searching because I live in a small town and I began seeing the same coins over and over again. I still find a few keepers every now and then, but my success has definitely slowed. The tellers have noticed that I'm not asking for as many rolls as I once did, and now they practically trip over themselves trying to get me to take boxes of coins off their hands. Be patient, be pleasent, but be persistent- in a nice way. Good luck![/QUOTE]
