Back in the game!

[TheMastermind]

After taking close to a month off from CRH to finish up some remodeling projects on my house, I picked up a box of dimes + $50 worth of CWR of dimes.

The $50 in CWR were skunks. Found two keepers in the box though:

1917 Mercury Dime
1962D Roosevelt

That's my second Merc as well as my oldest CRH find!

Not a bad way to get back in the game.

Cube-style box of halves was a skunk.

EDIT: dumped the halves on my lunch and picked up another cube-style box. Hopefully this one is better.

Also found two silver dimes in the teller's tray:

1954
1961

Skunked on the halves from last night.

Picked up a box of halves + $150 worth of MWR of halves.

Skunked on the $150.

Box gave up two 40%ers: 1966 and 1967.

 

[TheMastermind]

Dumped the halves and found three dimes in the reject tray:

1946 x 2
1964D

Picked up a box of halves + $150 in MWR of halves. Probably won't get around to searching them until tonight.

EDIT: skunked on the box and the $150.

Was in Maine on vacation all last week. Went through $2,000 worth of CWR of halves, were definitely someone's dumps. Skunked on all of that.

Proceeded to blow most of my CRH funds on vacation. Came back home with just $120 left.

Picked up $120 of CWR today, skunked.

Dumped the halves from today and found two silver dimes in the reject tray: 1964 x 2!

Went up to get my cash and found two quarters in the teller's tray: 1945 and 1964!

How do you "find" silver quarters in the teller's tray? The tellers always have plenty of quarters, but do you ask to see them or did you spy the silver rims and say "I'll take those two quarters"?

 

[TheMastermind]

Saw the silver rims and asked if I could buy all the quarters she had. I don't ever buy just the silver ones, clues them in on what to look for.

Thanks - that makes sense.

Took a long lunch today. Picked up a box of halves, was skunked.

Dumped half of the box at a new bank, the other half at one that is in my regular rotation of dump banks but is the least frequented.

I fill the bag and the lady comes over to change it out.

As I'm looking at the magnet in the metal thing that covers the hopper, the lady says, "Sir, you aren't allowed to look in there. Those are our coins."

I replied, "So, it's policy to steal from your customers then? Because if any coins get stuck in there -- like all of these foreign coins that are stuck to the magnet right now as well as the large number of my halves still inside because of all the foreign coins jamming them up -- and you won't allow someone to get them, that's theft."

She didn't say a word after that. She continued changing the bags and I continued retrieving my halves so that they would be counted.

She was obviously very annoyed that I questioned her authority.

I laughed.

Hey I have been thinking of getting into CRH'ing... I read the whole post... have a few questions if you dont mind...

The (silver)coins you are finding in the reject bin at the bank... are those from you missing them when you sorted through, or is it customer rejects that they dont bother to pick up, or on that magnet thing you were talking about?

Do you dump the whole box of dimes/box of halves into a coin sorter in 1 trip?

Thanks in advance

Awesome thread, Tons of info!! HH(Happy hunting im assuming is what it means?)

Definitely read through the stickies at the top of the forum.

The finds from the reject tray are from other people, at least for the most part I think. There have been times where I was dumping halves and a 40%er that didn't make it to the reject tray was found in the tube. I don't know if I had missed it while searching, someone else missed it, or it was part of a non-CRHer's dump. Most of the time, people either forgot to check the reject tray when they were finished or when I go to dump my coins, rejects that got stuck in the tube that leads to the tray were dislodged.

The most halves I dump at one bank is $250 worth. I will routinely hit up two or three dump banks in a trip.

Dimes I dump $500 worth at one bank.
