Friday is gonna be a $1000 BUY day....what to buy?

[DrawkcaB]

OK, Friday I'm going to try and get $1000 in coins from my local bank.
I think I'm going to call my local Chase to see if I have to inform them first so they are ready for me?
My question to this forum is, based on your past successful hits, what breakdown should I do?
Thanks and have a good evening

Good evening, and glad to see you're looking to get a large volume running,
My suggestions would be:
Half Dollars: AS MANY AS THEY HAVE!
Dimes: AS MANY AS THEY HAVE!
Then go to Nickels, pennies quarters.
Always ask for old/odd coins, and dollar coins :-)

Don't waste your time with halves, go the dime route!

 

[archertiger3]

pennies! that would be 40 boxes!

 

[Thorne]

I'd try to get 4 boxes of dimes. Odds seem like that would produce more. At least in my neck of the woods.

 

[TheMastermind]

Ten boxes of nickels.

halves and old odd coins first, then dimes then nickles then pennies then quarters.

In that order

 

[hokiemojo]

40 boxes of pennies. I'd call first.

Halves, they are the easiest and fastest to search and the easiest and fastest to dump. Open the roll, check the sides, rap em up in the same roll, rinse and repeat. Halves all day!

It seems to me that every area of the country is slightly different. You have to figure out what's best for your area. I have had a lot of success with halves since I started on Jan 30th. I've seen people posting that they have a terrible time with halves in their area and they do dimes. Others have great success with nickels. Personally, I would start with two boxes of halves and see what you get. Then go from there.

Hell Today all they had or would allow me to get was EITHER $10 ROLLED CENTS OR a NEW BRINKS BOX of pennies for $25..... Thursday's I allow my 12 yr old to get some small cents....
Can't wait to ask for a bunch tomorrow at another bank

Don't get me wrong, but you guys talk about "HALVES" like they are common. Here in NorthEast Ohio, when I ask for Halves, they look at me like I just came from 1975 or something. One teller actually told me they haven't received Halves in years....... We have 6 banks within our town, all within a mile, and I have bought $40 in halves ONCE........and pulled (1) 1964

Unless you previously ordered it, the chances of a large amount of halves sitting around is low. Most have $50 or less on average. Most banks will sell you 1 MAYBE 2 boxes of dimes, and the same goes for other coin denominations. I doubt you walk out of a bank with $1000 in change unless they jusst got a ton of CRW's or its a very big bank with a high volume of business customers that keeps alot of coin on hand.

 

[archertiger3]

this is what happens at some banks in my area:
Me "Do you have any half dollars?"
Teller "We don't carry those anymore."

I think you are seeing why the finds posted on here are far less common than what people find in reality. people don't usually post about skunks.

Do any of your banks order you large cents? You can call them cents, just not pennies. No need for small cents.

 

[gmrestoparts]

I have had NO LUCK with halves...over $10K and counting...got 5 nice silver and a good 2009P out of a $250 brick of dimes today...I would buy all dimes after you get any halves they may have...then search the halves in the parking lot and buy more dimes! Oh wait...I shouldnt tell you that, LOL...buy all cents and nickels, J/K
