I'm pretty new at this and went to 3 banks today. Only one had halves and they had a $10 roll of them. Maybe I'm in a bad area... lol

 

Good luck with yours also!

 

Box of nickels... half BWR and half CWR. 14 pre-60 and 3 canadian.

 

1920 Canadian penny. By far the oldest Canadian coin in my collection now.

 

Bob, it is about time you did that! I have been telling you for a year it is about a kid. See you take your son and bingo! ) I would not have hardly any coins if not for the tellers wanting to help my kids lol. Extortion or college seeds, you pick. As far as boxes I am at 11 shutouts in a row over a while as I am not getting many but still. 100% certain that at least 4 of them were already searched. Two boxes had marks on both ends of the rolls but not on interior coins. Another box had the rolls numbered 1- 50 and the 4th one had marks on the rolls as well.

Went to a TD bank to dump dimes in their machine, and it broke down on me.

So the teller came out to fix it, and I stuck my hand under to pull out what the magnet caught (as posted before):

1 2006 UK penny
2 5 cent Euro coins
1 steelie (1943 US cent)
1 1935 wheat cent
Italian Lira: 50, 100 500 (Bimetalic)
1 new Zealand 10 cent coin
1 Cayman Islands 25 cent coin
4 Jamaican Dollars, 2 ten cent pieces
7 Mexican dollars

1 68 Canadian (silver looking) dime
3 other Canadian dimes
4 Canadian cent coins
2 Canadian nickels ('53 & '69)
8! Canadian quarters ('06, '09 womans hockey, 1992-2002, '04, '82, '03, '00 health(?), 75)

PLUS, when asked for halves, the teller pulled out of her drawer a '64 Kennedy.

 

Inquisitive, that long list all came from under the penny arcade, and you got to keep it all? That's a pretty good score!

One time when I was dumping at TD there was an Ike stuck in the machine that I heard clanking around, and I got to keep it.

 

I don't know that an Ike would be worth a lot after being clanked around in a sorting machine very long. But it's still worth a buck.

 

That was my mindset Gary, a FREE dollar!

 

How did a 1935 wheat stick to the magnet? lol

 

Is it worth it to ask the teller if he/she has any old coins? What's the chance that the teller will actually have some?

 

That's how I feel whenever I pull a copper cent from a roll. Free MONEY ! lol The day the ban on melting them down is lifted, I am gonn a make some money. lol

 

Where do you take them to melt them? I usually get tons of copper but none of the coin places around here will take anything but silver and gold.

 

You don't. There is a ban on melting copper cents in effect. But as with the previous ban on melting gold coins, I think this will be lifted in time. And copper will increase in price greatly when the economy picks up and there is a demand again.

Hey, maybe it will be my great grand kids who benefit ? Not losing anything and maybe saving something that can triple or quadruple in value overnight ?

 

Ah. I saw the ban on silver, didn't know copper was in there also. I guess I'll just roll them and set them aside. I have a few buddies who are working on the lincoln cents. I'll let them pick through them and then wait for the ban to be lifted.

 

Are you keeping all the wheats? I am.

 

Found a 48 D cent in change today.

 

I keep all the copper ones. Sort by year and mint and store in the reused bank rolls and boxes. Each one has a melt value of 2.7c

 

Every one of them. They're my favorite to find... eventually I'll get that 43 copper, lol.
