So I walk into the USPS today to mail a package...

And the teller (who knows I enjoy coins) tells me, in his till this morning, was a FULL ROLL of silver dimes. I go, "No way!" I'm thinking maybe they're Canadian, or something else...but he pulled it out and sure enough, a CWR filled with about 2/3 Roosevelts and the other 1/3 is evenly split between Mercury and Barber Dimes. Had an XF 1912 D in there, too.

My first question: "Umm, so which bank do you guys get your coin from?"

Good for him. I'd love for that to happen to me again.

Nice and from a Postal Worker no less.

 

wonderful

 

The USPS worker still has them, right?

 

Yes, I did inform him of the value of what he got

(He already knew they were silver)

 

Hubba, hubba,

Steve

 

Good to hear!

 

UGH.

Today, I walk into the PO again...and they finally tell me which bank supplied them with that roll of silver dimes.

Went in...asked if they had any customer wrapped coin rolls...

Teller says no, because they have a counter in the lobby, then asks what exactly I'm looking for. I explain in just a little more detail...

"Oh, yeah! I remember last week we got a bunch of rolls of quarters too. I bought them."

Bleh bleh bleh bleh BLEH. (Haha)

Another near miss.

 

Sounds like a complete miss to me!

 

A miss by any other name...

I don't even know how many times in the last month I've asked a coin shop or pawn shop if they had any coins and been told, "We JUST had a huge bucket.."

 

Aargh! I feel your pain, dance artist! I've been checking my local bank lately, never really thought about it until I read some threads here, and all they had for me today was one circulated Bicentennial half. Better (barely) than a sharp stick in the eye.

Should be a "dislike" button for posts like this! There is nothing more poopie than going into a bank and hearing about the goodies you just missed.

 

I hate it when tellers tell me I'm never going to find any rare stuff in their bank, because they watch all of the tills and keep everything.

This is a good way to ensure that your bank is now my dumping ground.

 

Oh, yes there is. The teller can then go on to tell you how she cleaned up all those silver dollars with a toothbrush and toothpaste to make them nice and shiny for her grandchildren.

I still choose to believe that she was just trolling me. The alternative was too awful to bear.
