[QUOTE="berto, post: 3302211, member: 68428"]Bottom line upfront is my area is a dead zone wrt finding collectible halves in mwrs. I wish I lived in an area with coin counters in most banks and credit unions. The bags of mwr halves I get locally are delivered to my banks by either Loomis or the other local-branded coin courier. The coins have been handled (e.g., sorted, counted and rolled) at the courier facility (aka “The Fed”) as mwrs are typically handled, same as everywhere else in the nation. Note, I do not believe “The Fed” facilities in my area have the newer coin sorting/counting/rolling machines that reject silver. There are very few coin counters within 100 miles of me. Only 1 credit union chain offers a counter, and only at a couple branches. Their coin counters have an 8% fee for nonmembers, and 3% fee for members, so the counters are only lightly used based on my observations. I do not know if the counters reject silver. I intend to test this sometime. Anyway, at any other local bank or cu all coins must be rolled by the customer to be deposited, and tellers are required to re-count the coins (if they are doing their job according to bank procedures and confirming the deposit) before the coins are sent to “The Fed“. As a result, the collectible halves are heavily sniped, and recharge of collectibles to the system via the few coin counters is extremely low. Pretty dismal for me. I pickup as many cwr halves as I can find, but there aren’t many, and the vast majority are other CRHer dumps. Such is life. I’ll keep at it only because I enjoy the hobby and am obsessed with half dollars :smug: By the way, the last $250 in mwr halves from the bag were a bust :grumpy:[/QUOTE]
