    Coin Roll Hunting, Metal Detecting, Prospecting!

    2/7/12 - 12 Boxes (6 Keepers)

    Hey Hey,

    So, I thought I solved my dump problem. I opened an account at TD. They happen to have a Penny Arcade about 7 miles from here. I took 2 bags of halves to the PA, "she" counted out 2K on the nose. As I was walking out, the Bank Manager pulled me in her office and asked "how many bags are you wanting to bring in?" I said 6 a week at the most. She made a phone call and said "just bring your coins in 1K bags to your local TD and we'll give you a provisional credit on them". Sweet!

    Next it was off to pick up my first 6 boxes from Bank B. I had an ill-feeling when I saw the dreaded "Black and White SKUNK wrappers"....

    Box 1 through 5


    Box 6
    Finally broke "the curse"!
    1 - 40% 1966
    1 - 40% 1967
    1 - 40% 1968


    Off to my local TD with 3 bags. In and out in about 5 minutes. Off to grab the last 6 boxes.

    Box 7 through 10


    As I was opening rolls, TD called. They said they don't have the room in their regular pickup for my halves and they would have to arrange a special pickup, which would cost TD an extra $20 per bag. After which she said "we have closed your account and are unable to do business with you". I was dumbfounded. I asked about the $25 I deposited to open the account. She said they have to hold it until the coins are counted at the processor.

    I saved the last two boxes for me and Dad. And wouldn't you know it, Dad unwrapped these keepers:
    Box 11
    2 - 90% 1964's

    Box 12
    1 - 40% 1968

    It was fun CRH'ing with Dad. He enjoyed himself!

    At this point, I have 2 "reliable" dump banks who can take 3K a week each. I may have to drop down to 12 boxes a week until the dust settles.

    I have 4 boxes coming from Bank A tomorrow. More to come.

    H$H!!

    Sorry to hear about the bad break, TGB.

    When one door closes, find some others to open.

    Keep on Rollin' !
