Awesome. I wish I could get bags of nickels. Every time I ask they say no. I don't get how they have at least 2 bags of pennies every week but never any nickels. They won't even give me boxes anymore; good thing I kept the 2 they gave me.

(not sure if I've posted this rant before, if I have sorry)
267,500 pennies and 186,000 nickels searched. Hand sorter.

Mandatory "did you ask for their other bags"?

I had a bag of nics with 5 war and 5 buffalos, and when I got their dime bag it yielded 30 silvers (5-6 times the norm for that branch). When the half bag eventually dropped, it had over $100 in silver.

For the rest of the story the bank had $5700 in dimes and nickles that week. I got every bag. They said that a person that every 3-4 years cashed in his coins. I also had a bag of dimes that had 21 silver. It was a good week.

How the heck do you get banks to sell you that many bags of coin at one time??? I am beyond amazed!!

I think I know how this goes.

Well, looks to me that some old man just kicked the bucket (good for him). His wife, a prude old bat of a Lady that can't figure out why the old geeze had been saving all these darn silly coins in the first place finally got her way. She, still with the blisters on her hands from pile driving that still warm (better off) corps into the ground, just packed in the old man's silver and gold coins to the bank to finally "cash them in" for spending money to renew her subscription to southern living. Old dead man never had it so good.

No that is not the story it was a peson who save the coins himself for 3-4 years at a time and then he takes them in. The bank tellers all had smiles on the faces when I came in that day. They even wheel them out for me. Three carts full. I left the pennies being I quit sorting them for now.

Now wait just a dern minute! When my mom was still alive she subscribed to Southern Living and she would have never taken PMs to the bank for face value. I think you meant Cosmopolitan magazine, didn't you Doc?
