Hi all,

Although I've been stacking CU for a bit, I just tried my hand at dimes last night, ($185 in CWR) and found a 1957. So, I'm thinking about scaling up. I already have an agreement with the tellers at one bank to sell me the dime bag from there change counter that doesn't reject silver.

Now I'm thinking of ordering boxes from the bank, but they use Brinks and the rolls come in the clear plastic wrapping, so my question is does Brinks pull the silver coins out or is this still a viable way to find silver myself?

Thanks in advance.

Unrelated to Brinks, but the fact your scoring bags from the counter is a huge accomplishment, be careful not to jeopardize that relationship by adding more requests which the bank may find a nuisance. Unless your very confident in your standing there, I'd consider using another branch for ordering boxes.

Brinks does NOT pull silver.

A person can get boxes of dimes anywhere...

As far as Brinks, I see this question come up all the time on various forums. No, they DO NOT pull Ag. Nor does CWI... One of those silly internet rumors that just won't go away...

Bring donuts and ask away!

Thanks all,

I've actually got plenty of banks that I'm on good relations with and will get me anywhere from $200 to $500 in pennies within 2 days of me asking, and some times I get that several times a week. So, getting boxes of dimes shouldn't be a problem. I take cookies and doughnuts all the time, so they like to see me coming.

Thanks again...

There was a time when I could find some good finds with the clear plastic dime rolls. Then things seemed to dry up. If I have to get skunked on dimes, I'd rather have it on the plastic ones as I do not have to hassle with the time to open them up anyway. Just return them to the bank or bust them open and toss in the coin counter. I was suspicious if workers at Brinks would spot the silver in the plastic rolls and set those aside but I gather they can not? It's not like working a cash drawer at a store where you can replace any silver coins with clad (as long as management is cool with it). I might hit up the bank for some Brinks dimes soon again.

I was kind of worried about the same thing as JerrySpriner, that Brinks employees might pull the good rolls themselves. But I'm going to give it a shot anyway.
