Would you do it?

Several years ago when I was about to head to Oklahoma for the annnual family reunion and detecting trip I asked around about buying up some rolls in small towns. The advice that I got was that it wasn't worth it. While I was there for a week I got like 5 wheats and 2 silver coins just in change buying, sodas, gas, etc. I think I made a huge mistake not taking some cash and hitting the small town banks. What do you folks think? Have you had any luck hitting small town banks? I should be heading back to the SW corner of Oklahoma for a week in August or September. I am sure considering taking some $$ and buying rolls.

No pain, no gain!

Or as they say, you need to put your money at risk to make a profit.

Remember, there is no downside because you still can return the money or exchange it for some more rolls.

Go for it, consider it a "Treasure Hunt"

Just go search through Hothgar's posts.... his best finds seem to be at small town banks... He has found quite a few small hoardes of silver coins in the past year!

The small town banks I have tried have had nothing, and then I tried a town with 50,000 people and it was loaded with silver everywhere!

You would think that especially with halves, they would sit in a vault collecting dust. Nobody in a small town would have much use for them, so I can see the logic about small towns having caches of them they wish they could get rid of.

Hit 'em all.... I have done especially well at small town banks.

Go for it. I live in a small town and get a silver half every other roll of coins.

I am going to western Kansas the day after the 4th and I plan on taking 3000$ just to buy coin. My best luck has been at smaller town banks where they just accumulate halves and will generally sell all to me to get rid of them. So ya take as much as you can and good luck.
