The bank said a lady dropped off $400 in dimes. She had them for years, according to her. So they kept them for me (Also - they didn't want to send them off and be charged for the pickup. That's the truth with this bank. They save me ALL their hand rolled, because of fees to them and they know i"ll take the coins off their hands with no charge)
I went through them, and it was very productive. Every few rolls I would come up with a silver dime. Total was 14 silver dimes. My second best day EVER was 3 silver dimes, and that was in 4 boxes I went through that day, so to get 14 in less than one box was pretty dang exciting for me.
One was that fellow from the rock band Queen. What's his name again? Oh yeah, Freddie. Freddie Mercury. That was nice. And 13 were Roosie's. Only 1 was 1964 too.
So now my second best day of dimes is 14, instead of 3. That's NICE imho. I was esctatic about it. (My first best day is the 700 pure silver that a different bank saved for me about a month ago, of course. LOL. 700 silver dimes plus 40 quarters all in one haul)
I've now had 4 different banks save coins for me THIS YEAR that turned out into great days. Nice. :-)
Oh, and what is "OP"? It is a code meaing "Old person". When an old person comes in and drops off a bunch of old coins, it is "old person money". Worth searching. Oh yea!

I LOVE Old People. I have started following them around in my car and hope they are headed to be bank. After 30 minutes of waiting on them to make a deposit, I run to the teller and ask for all their coins. Man I have to get a life  |

I will persist until I succeed.
I was not delivered into this world into defeat, nor does failure course in my veins. I am not a sheep waiting to be prodded by my shepherd. I am a lion and I refuse to talk, to walk, to sleep with the sheep.
I will persist until I succeed

JRF, what is your secret to get these tellers to hand over the goods. I am in good with my tellers but I am not so sure they would save anything for me. They would probably keep it for themselves.

I've had three great finds so far this year by telles saving me things. I thin it is just my friendliness every time I am in there. And consistency. PLus the coupons for free food or other little gifts given every once in a while makes them feel like I am appreciative, and they like that.
But mostly I think it is a freindly attitude.
