Thanks. Even a blind hog finds an acorn occasionally.

I was looking through a family friends change purse (she knew i collected) and found a 1916 wheat. I was quite surprised!

 

wooo hooooo!! nice

 

Because you're wasting their time. They're a bank, not a collector's coin shop and they exist to service the accounts of legitimate customers, not coin collectors.

 

C'mon photos. Let's see that Morgan and those Franklins guys!

 

Picked up some coins today. Box of nickels turned out to be 50 rolls of 2015-Ps. Sigh.

Assorted $310 of customer coins yielded a 1945-P quarter and a 1964-D dime though.

Had to walk 5 blocks with 3 boxes of coins. Helluva workout!!

 

$25 BWR Cents:
- 10 assorted wheats, with the best being a well worn 1920.
- 516 coppers

Next box is $25 CWR from my credit union... but that's after I go out and "make the rounds" at a few banks this morning. A hunter's work is never done.

 

Checked out a $1000 bag of quarters last week. Nada, zip, zilch from 50 pounds of them. Their sorter kicks out the Canadians but not the silver according to the teller. I won't try that again.

 

I don't have much luck with quarters for silver. Quarters are too common in circulation and silver is too easy to pick out. Lots of every day folks catch silver quarters when they see them, not just collectors.
You can find other nuggets in quarters, but very rare to find silver.

 

You need one of those little pull carts they use for luggage.
Whew!!
nice finds though

 

I gave up on quarters, i dont get them unless i know there is something in there matching some stuff that went with the other coins i got that week, I find one silver in ever $3000 of coins and that was not worth it for me when you get between 2-10 silver in dimes for every $1000

 

I find most of my silver coins in customer wrapped rolls. Both of my silver quarters, all of my silver halves, most of my silver dimes.

Have found just two dimes in BWRs. Finding silver nickels is easier.

But I'm not just after silver anyway. I collect coins and enjoy filling slots and upgrading coins just as much as finding silver. I upgraded several quarters today and filled two state park slots in my book.

 

I do the bags that come out of the self serve coin machines, I found 8 banks that let me buy them, so they are like customer wrapped rolls but bigger, I do nickels more than anything else just because they are quicker to fill than dimes, I know what you mean, ive been putting together an MS set of Jefferson nickels pre 1960 so its just not silver im after, but i quite quarters once I had everything i could think of with non silver ones. I only do BWR on half dollars because it takes me to long to get a bag of them so i order those.

 

$80 Nickels (11 BWR, 29 CWR) - 17 pre-1960 keepers including 2x 43-P war nicks. Found both silvers in CWRs.

 

What do you do with your pre 1960 nickels, a coin store I go to buys, pre 1956 nickels for 7 cents, i keep the few better dates and grades and sell the rest there, do you have a better use of them?

 

I've been keeping mine in tubes. Haven't tried to sell any, but I suppose someday I might. Sometimes I trade or give spares to my Dad to upgrade his set. My thought was to fill a tube for each, and then slowly upgrade the tube coins. All of them are circulated, so condition varies.

Finding them is the fun part.

 

Makes "cents" to me. Won't you if it was your Bank?

 

Agree. Have NOT seen a silver quarter in 8 years. They were too easy for the average guy to identify, pull out and throw into a jar for a rainy day hoard

 

GH -- do you mean the Bank's own self service coin machines. I have not seen any of these in SW FL, but it makes 'cents" to me that the pickens would be good. Can't you see some 16 year old dumping in the family's jar of coins to buy a digital game,
or a 6 pk depends where you live.

 

I've been told liquor stores get lots of rainy day jar coins. My local has an arrangement with another guy though. Gas stations sometimes get goodies too. My pal who works in a local pizza shop has accumulated a ziplock bag full of silver coins and he's got an envelope full of silver cert notes too. Rich town.

Sadly, I have no connections so its coin rolls for me!
