<p>[QUOTE=&quot;ewheeley, post: 1108032, member: 29312&quot;]One of my local banks, the biggest one (Arvest if you&#039;re familiar with AR/OK/MO area) has to have something going on with the silver. I keep ordering boxes from them but get skunked every time. I&#039;ve found a 1968 in $5000 in boxes from them. But every box I get from my 3 Bank of Americas can be relied upon to have 3 silver minimum.</p><p><br /></p><p>I got carried away today, ended up driving an hour away from home for a &quot;quick&quot; trip to the bank. Got $110 in CWR from one bank, found 5 40%ers and 1 90%er, as well as a 1957 dime. </p><p><br /></p><p>I went a US Bank in Pineville, Missouri that had $50 in CWR halves. And they were OLD rolls. When the woman took them out of the vault I about crapped my pants. The rolls were all separate kinds of paper, worn down entirely, and they smelled like pipe tobacco. I was 100% expecting them to be all Franklins or something...</p><p><br /></p><p>But nope, skunked. They were 5 full rolls of bicentennial halves. Still exciting, but not the $$cash$$ I was hoping/praying for. Still, it&#039;s got me hooked on small town banks. Recently, I&#039;ve been relying on buying machine bags from local banks, taking advantage of people turning in their coin jars. It&#039;s reliable, but now I&#039;ve had a taste of those rolls that sit in the vault for 40 years. I&#039;ve made up a spreadsheet for a 4 hour trip up into Southwest Missouri with about a dozen towns, most with no more than 2 banks. I&#039;ll call ahead Tuesday morning, adjust the route based on availability, and then cross my fingers and head out![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
