Well, at least I didn't get skunked.

One good thing happened this weekend. One of my banks offered to step up and order me 2 boxes of halves every week. Now the trick will be dumping the rejects.They are the toughest for me to dump. There are no lobby coin counting machines in my banks except the Coinstar machine at one of CU's.. which is only open M-F. I can machine roll the halves.. but most of my banks don't really want me dropping off boxes of rolled halves. They don't mind regular coins that they can give to their commercial customers, but halves aren't really used. I was thinking maybe I might be able to take them to a Casino near work and convert them to fiat. Maybe some of you serious veteran halve sorters can give me some suggestions on disposing of large amounts of halves.

This weekends box of halves......El Zippo.............

Hello everyone,
I just got in to this coin collecting thing and I'm really interested. I have already done some research and I am going to collect dimes for melt. If you guys have any tip they would be much appreciated. I am going to get my first coins tomorrow.


Thanks
