Finally bit the bullet!

Since about August of last year I have gone into a few different banks where we have accounts and got them to order coin for me. I've gone through a few boxes of halves, a couple of dimes and 1 of quarters. Think I only found '64 dime out of all those. Well, was at my new small town bank today opening a business account, I do not know any of these people working, there is only one teller a few loan people and a boss! I thought what the heck, I asked the lady helping me with this new account about looking for old coins, I asked about did they take customer rolled coin or did it have to be loose, she said loose. I asked about their machine counter, did it roll or just count, she said she would have to ask the teller, anyway to make a short story longer, When the teller came in, she explained a little about how they take in the coin a such so I just asked, "could I buy that loose coin brought in to search through?" she said," I don't know why not." So I asked how often to come, I don't want to be a bother or pester you, she said once a week should be ok.

I know thats kind of drawn out, but I'm excited, of course I hoping I'll be getting coin that has not been "professionally searchred" through. I would think my odds of finding some pre '65 would be alot better.

Good luck! Searching bags is great fun for sure.

Yep, hope you strike gold dude. Or silver, rather.

bought $330.00 in loose coin from them about 3 pm today, already done sorting. Kept probably 100 copper pennies, $10.00 of nickles. no silver in the dimes,quarters. on 2 halves in the whole bunch and they were 80's. 3 presidential dollar coins that I kept.

sounds like a great new connection!

anybody want to trade me some silver for the copper pennies I have. I really am not into the penny hoard thing, but I find it hard to just toss them while I'm searching. I do not have a whole lot, but have just been sorted into any date before 83. I have not pulled out wheats or any special dates or mint marks.
