I feel like I have encountered beginners luck in coming out of coin sorting retirement!


Perhaps a former collector recently passed away and the family is settling out the estate. I’d go back to whatever bank you went to over and over. If there is some discrete way you could have the head teller be on the lookout for coins for you, I’d be doing that right away. If you seem to excited though, s/he might figure the coins are valuable and keep them for themselves.
