_____________  Coin Roll Hunting Score_____________

Took a little drive around town today during my lunch break and had a bit of good luck. At first I only had a 40% to show for my troubles and was getting a bit discouraged. I decided to take a little extra time for lunch and drive an extra 10 miles out of town and try my luck. First bank had a handful of skunks - at the second one the teller takes out $13 in skunks and says with a smile how many do you want... I'm thinking oh boy a big skunk dump waiting for me but I play along and say I can take a couple hundred. She chuckles and say "sure" and disappears for a while then returns with $200 in rolls that at least weren't the usual re-rolled brinks rolls. She then says "You want the rest, we got another $170". I figure what the heck, bring em on... I pay and head out the door and sit in my car and take a look at them. Well there was one old looking roll in the bunch so I figure open that one first and sure enough a skunk. I'm thinking I might as well get this over with so I open the next one not expecting much. But....WOW - all Walkers and Bens. I look down at the rest of the rolls that they were nice enough to put in a box for me and think "no way!". But guess what -     - out they roll. Almost every roll is solid silver. I'm just sitting there astounded as each roll keeps spitting the same thing. Occasionally there were a few clad and the worst roll "only" had two Walkers and a Ben. As this is going down and I'm just staring at the rolls in amazement I'm realizing that this is likely a once in a life event but who knows with this hobby. I'm back at work now and will have to try and get some nice photos and a better count later tonight or tomorrow as I have a day off. The rough totals: 29 freaking rolls of silver. About 24 of them are 90%. There were so many old coins that I was actually expecting a roll of Barbers but none appeared. Wow is all I kept saying as each roll slid into my hand - WOW. UPDATE: Ok got a couple pictures - one is the box full of the rolls and the other is just a random roll with the results. This one had the earliest date a 1935 with a bunch of 40's and 50's Walkers and Bens. Will dig in a little deeper if I get time tonight but am on kid duty so it is a little tough at the moment.. New Update - Got the time to sort out the rolls a bit. First thing is I underestimated the totals. There was only one roll of 40% so 28 rolls of 90%. Another WOW! Here are the dates of the Franklins. The Walkers will have to wait. I did get about four rolls of pre 1940 Walkers but no key dates in the mix. I'll try to get the Walkers better sorted tonight! Thanks for the comments! 3rd Update: Banner  - didn't expect this. Seems it has created a little firestorm. I'm gonna stay out of that one  - except to say I'll enjoy my ten minutes of fame. I got a chance to go through the pre 40 Walkers and for those keeping score I have posted the dates. Walkers: 17 - 6 17S reverse - 1 18 - 4 18D - 3 19 - 1 20 - 4 23S - 1 27S - 1 34 - 4 34D - 1 34S - 2 35 - 8 35D - 1 35S - 1 36 - 6 36D - 1 36S - 1 37 - 9 38 - 1 39 - 5 39D - 2 Franklins 49D - 3 50 - 7 51 - 16 51D - 6 51S - 4 52 - 25 52D - 14 53 - 1 53 D - 12 54 - 6 54D - 6 54S - 1 55 - NONE 56 - 4 57 - 1 57D - 8 58 - 1 58D - 13 59 - 8 59D - 3 60 - 1 60D - 7 61 - 2 61D - 3 62 - 12 62D - 3 63 - 11 63D - 22 Kennedy 64 - 42 Maine_Jim |

Oh yea - pictures coming. Wife wants to go to Disney World....maybe there will be enough left for a nice Nikon that is calling to me! You got to reward yourself every now and then. I will get the dates tomorrow as I have to work tonight. Didn't see any key dates initially but I barely had time to look. There were some 1917s and 1918s but they didn't have the obverse mint marks. I also saw a 1938 but was it was from Philly. Also a few proof Kennedy 64s were in there. I am pretty amazed at the box of coins I now have. It is like getting six months of CRH silver in a few minutes.  Maine_Jim |

After getting all these coins I now have to go pick up four boxes to sort today  - I just know they will be a skunk...I'm thinking I better head over to that bank that gave me these rolls also and buy every hand roll they will sell me. Might score some dimes and quarters from the same person that dumped these. - Maine_Jim |

In this day and age, I'm absolutely amazed that anyone would take that many older coins to the bank for cash - there's gold and silver buyers on seemingly every corner, and it doesn't take a rocket scientist to at least guess that they might be worth more than face value. Their loss is certainly your gain  Grats on the find and the banner - what a nice day! |

Okay, back off people, just back off. Nothing to see here. People DO NOT find silver by buying rolls of coins at banks. I live in the desert...I know a mirage when I see one.
BTW...
CONGRATS!!!

ok..I'm a "newbie" and new to this whole scene...and I am quite confused..which is par for the course since the advent of ADHD "medicine"...  DO you go to banks and give them cash in exchange for coin rolls..hoping for your "lottery scratch ticket" to be the jackpot..which you obviously just hit??? Now I know this isn't a "lottery ticket" because the return rate is at least 1 to 1 ...but I am still confused as to what all this is EDIT: Neeevermind...never noticed this 'sub forum' on the forum before...it appears that I have a new "lottery" to start playin' ...this one pays at leat 1 to 1..so its win win |

I saw these post and it inspired me to start hitting the banks. I have not dove in as deep as you yet, but with the few rools I've purchased I've gotten 01 silver half-dollar and 2 silver dollar pieces so far. I think I like this :0)

Totally speechless. That's insane!
Think someone cashed those in or do you think the bank had them for a long time?
Most I've ever found at any local banks is a bunch of clad. :/

These hadn't been at the bank that long. I had been in there a month or so back and cleaned them out. I found a few that day so I knew that at least one teller didn't search the rolls they received. Today I went back in and picked up another $500 in quarters hoping for the same luck, didn't happen. Skunk city! They said they had about 5k in quarters so I wasn't ready for all those today. As for value it looks like about $3800 today, who knows Monday. May sell a few at a local show this weekend and have a night of it Maine_Jim |

I don't know how to tell you but here goes. those are my halves!
My real name is America. I name all my coins United States. Then i identify all my silver on the coins. So if you look on each coin, you will see United States Of America. So can I shoot you a pm with my address so you can return them to me ( America)? I send you a small token of my appreciation, maybe go overboard and send ya say $31.64 for all your trouble?
Wow man way to go!
My blood is still pumping with excitement for you!!!
Congrats on banner tooo!

Not only did this post bring non-CRH people to the forum, but it brought me back from the abyss of the interent. =)
A HUGE congrats Jim! About time someone from our wonderful little forum hit gol... erm... silver. And in such abundance!
I saw the picture on the banner and thought "it couldn't be" when I saw what HAD to be a CRH picture.
I suggest to all the big time CRH'ers that you all hit every bank within anything nearing a proximity to your normal hunting grounds, so that when the newbies hit them, they are empty and get discouraged. =)

You got it right Dave - . I am the most persistent b*st*rd around here and usually do pretty well. I am such a regular at all the banks within a 100 mile radius that whenever I enter most banks I don't even need to ask for halves, they just start gathering them up for me . I've had quite a few monster hunters come and go but I'm still here and now after a couple years of non-stop searching and more than $1,000,000 in coins searched I haven't thought about retiring. If someone else has this kind of persistence they deserve whatever they find. Oh yea - nice to see you back in the CRH forum. Maine_Jim |
