My favourite pick up bank called and tole me they had lots of coin from an estate and that I should come get what I want. I got $800 in pennies and $400 in nickles (all they had in nickles). Of the 4 boxes on Nickles the percentages were 8%, 26%, 27%, and 28%. You can tell only 3 boxes were from the estate. Only had one George IV. A 1931.

Also 1 1964 XWL. Only the second one I found.

Not a great bag, but a good week since I found a new pickup bank willing to sell bags, and a CU that's more than happy to let me dump 20 boxes/month.

[Engineer]

Good bag.

Thanks.

It was definitely a fun bag, and looked like somebody dumped a coin collection. There were also quite a few AU-MS 60s-80s I pulled out for upgrades to my Dansco album. I'm planning to head back to that bank to ask for dimes, quarters, and pennies first thing Monday morning. With any luck, I'll get the rest of their stash.
