Way to be Saabman! That's a real nice score. As hard as you work at coin roll searching this is well deserved I think.

I gave up bank mining several years ago. Acquiring Brinks boxes wasn't hard but between the difficulty of dumping halves and the increasing
frequency of skunk boxes, I finally gave it up but I still keep my eyes and ears tuned to opportunities.

Last February 10th I walked into my local small town bank to do some business and at the end of the conversation I was having with the teller I
casually asked her, as I normally do everytime I go in there, if any halves had been brought in lately. She said yes, right after the bank opened that day an elderly couple had came in with several coffee cans of halves. I didn't think much of it until she said "they didn't sound like halves usually do when they were ran thru the coin counter". That got my attention. I asked if I could acquire them sight unseen and she said yes. She brought out two bags tied at the ends that came out to be a total of $1150.00 face.

I carried the bags out to my truck and set them in the back and both made that beautiful sound we all love. I normally drive under the spend limit but this time I'm pretty sure I broke it driving the 6 blocks back home.

The take was :
368 - 40%
178 - 90% that consisted of 5 Walkers, 22 Franklins and 151 64's.

I felt kind of bad for the elderly couple for a while, but I got over it pretty quick
It was just blind luck and being in the right place at the right time but it proved to me that it's still out there. Keep your eyes open and your ears peeled!

Look at it this way if they were in front of you in line then you could have made them some kind of offer... other than that not much you could do except take the silver at face! Congrats!

tues. I went into a branch I rarely go to. halves? why yes. we have 3- 20$ rolls. HUH. I have only seen the 20$ROLLS one other time,. at a casino in parker az.

of course, there was nothing special.
