<p>[QUOTE=&quot;NOS, post: 1579580, member: 2098&quot;]It sounds like this &quot;TimZim is or at least has been in violation of 18 USC Section 331 which is the law against mutilating coins. Source: <a href="http://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/18/331" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/18/331" rel="nofollow">http://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/18/331</a>. Unfortunately, the law is subject to poor enforcement. The law needs to be toughened so clowns like this will no longer destroy coins with impunity. I propose mandatory time in federal prison for repeat offenders and that such perpetrators be required to pay for the costs to replace, remove and process the coins which have been made unfit for circulation. I can now understand why Merc Crazy had such a big issue with this clown when he would find what this dubious individual didn&#039;t want to keep.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>I have been marking my rolls for years. Not all banks dump out the rolls and bag them up. I rotate between buying and dumping at banks every couple of weeks when I have the time to search. Usually, after a couple of weeks the rolls I&#039;ve dropped off have been bought by merchants or shipped out. There have, however, been a few instances where I&#039;ve received a few of my rolls back but this is an exception. I recognize these when I get them so I know not to bother searching them again. Also, I don&#039;t go through massive amounts of coins like some searchers. I don&#039;t have the time for that so usually I&#039;ll have, at most, 40-50 rolls to drop off at any one bank.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>This depends on the bank. Some banks ship out all of their customer rolls to be bagged and verified. I don&#039;t care for banks like these. It is much more fun and mysterious to get CWR rolls than filtered BWRs. For example, this week I went through $200 in CWR dimes and I found two five pence coins from Great Britain and two silver dimes (1960D and 1964). What made finding these coins super fun was that a lot of these rolls were over 1-2 dimes which made these coins free! This wouldn&#039;t happen with BWR rolls and there&#039;s nothing like finding silver dimes which don&#039;t even cost face value.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
