I use a local credit union for dumping halves which has several branches in my area. They have coin counters but the problem is they will only allow $200. per day without a fee, even to members. So I usuallly rotate branches and dump my $200 per day. I finally ot one of these branches to sell me boxes about six months ago and have been buying from them almost every week since. Of course, as soon as I started buying from them, I quit dumping at their branch. Well, they called me this week and said their half dollar was full and asked if I would like to buy it. I knew that I probably had some dumps in the bag but hadn't dumped any here since June, so I said YES, I would like to buy the bag. They agreed to hold it for me until today which is my normal visit day to pick up my boxes. As I was unloading the bag from the car tonight, I noticed a couple of Walking Liberties and a Franklin and figured, hey , this may be a good bag. By the way, it was a $1000. bag. After completing the search, here are the final totals:

31 -- Walking Liberty
36 -- Bens
15 -- 1964
60 -- 1965-1969

142 Total

38.5 ounces of the silver stuff to add to the pile. More than enough to keep me in the game a few more days. HH

That is incrediably awesome!

I do have a question though. You are getting boxes from the credit union, but dumping your clad at other branches of the same CU. Are you not worried about getting all your dumps back in your boxes, or do they use different coin services?

Then again, if 142 keepers is the average bag being sent back to the coin service from those other CUs, I suppose I could keep sorting through my dumps to get it :)

Nice snag on the bag. Love the bags right off the coin counter that are not other searchers dumps. Always an interesting mix.

Wow!!!! Really awesome!!!!

I can't figure out why people wouldn't stop at a coin shop before going to a bank just to see if they have anything of value.

Amazing find This means you paid $1000 for the bag. Your silver value was $1105.12 Plus 1858 clad halves value of $929 So basically the bank gave you $1034.12 to take there halves away for them
