Small town,small bank (updated)

[CU Baker]

Stop for a soda this afternoon, walk across the street to a small bank and asked if I could get some pennies.
Sure: How many would you like? Three hundred, No Problem! The boxes were all shot gun rolls done by the bank, one was half full of cwr's. I asked if I could come back tomorrow and get more because that was all the cash I had on me. So I asked how much I could get, her replie was I know I have at least another twelve hundred or more if you like. Sweet!!!!

Here is the sweet part, I just got done doing the first run with the ryedale $144.57 in copper. I know I will not sleep tonight thinking about getting back over there. All the boxes were dated with the tellers name and date. The oldest date was 4/8/08, I hope they keep going back as I get the rest. This little town is only about ten miles from me, and they are already interested in just bagging their pennies and giving me a call when they have a couple hundred. Wish me luck on the rest.

Now that I have done $2300 from this little bank I found, here are the results.

$951.36 copper,$5.59 wheats,$17.37 canadian copper, for a copper percentage of 42.36%
Along with a few first for me, my first plastic pennies, and a counterstamped Lincoln facing Kennady

Sounds like a score on a nice new source.

Might be worth your time Bob to ask if they have any halves.

Pick up another K from the bank late Friday afternoon. The oldest box dated was march of 2000, these have not seen the light for 11 years. Well its been busy doing a double sort and picking out the wheats and canadians, but here it is.

$1300 sorted

$555.37 copper
353 wheats
938 canadian copper

Was informed that they may have about $1200 more still in the valt. Time to sell a few so I can get the rest. 43% is right up my alley.

awesome score.i live in a small town also,and believe it or not they tell me they do not order coins.they rely on their customers to keep them in coins.all the rolls i get are rolled by customers and the copper ratio is really high.i quess the economy has got the people cashing in their coin stash.

43% is pretty darn good Bob. Solid score. Time to get the remaining $1200

[Lemon Thrower]

you need to ask them about halves and large dollars - Ike/Peace/Morgan.

Incredible find - way to go. A bit jealous, in a friendly way...

[CU Baker]

I all ready asked about the the halfs and such, they do have a good amount of dimes and nickols that I will try and ween down as my fund allow it.

And all my banks are aways telling me they have really tiny vaults.

my largest weekly order is $350 from one bank.
some banks are tuff - i have one that will not let me buy more that two boxes a week.

great score !!! glad to here that large buys are still possible

[CU Baker]

Just reduced the price on these in the buy in now section. The best price on our forum in a while!!!!!!!!!!!

[Sheikh_yer_Bu'Tay]

Wow! That is the best copper score I have read about in a long time! Whoo Hoo! Congrats!!!

[Rodebaugh]

Nice work sir......and yes that was a lot of work I bet.

Now I know why these guys have more them one Ryedale. I double sorted both the zinc and the copper, but the zinc double sort did produce two 1912 wheat, two 1919 and one 1937 along with 22 more from the fortys and fiftys. Flipping it to check for wheats and canucks took the longest.
