[QUOTE="Truble, post: 2763817, member: 80662"]I always found Monday to be the best day. Friday people would deposit either personal coinage to make beer runs for their weekend or business would make deposits from the week. I found Tuesday Wednesday are bad since all coin hunters are out on Mondays, Thursday then Friday build up. So hit the banks Friday afternoon and first thing Monday morning. Seasonally, I found January through February as kids who got half dollars for Christmas deposit them. Then around September and October as school starts up and people are using change for student lunches. Other strategy, highly commercial area banks have almost always been a dud for me, it's the outlying suburban banks that I have always found silver. I think part of it is the amount of traffic and ease of knocking off three-four bank branches in quick order. Also, this sounds bad, but banks in low income urban areas sometimes have been successful. And lastly, Coin hunters, as you make friends with tellers make a cheap business card on a printer and leave it with them so they can call you when the coins come in. I've cut down those searches where nothing exists by casting a card with my name and number with a picture of a half dollar on the card. If they call, bring them cookies or something. Happy Hunting![/QUOTE]
