picked up $500 in cwr from one person. ..

[BuffaloBoy]

I got a call from my teller saying somebody had dropped off a 50 cwr halves ($500) not in a box.I was reluctant to buy them but ended with 2 40% and a 1964 ( reverse ender )

Always buy them all!

My instinct would have told me why bother, way to go

Nice job Buff! Glad you found something, nice way to end the week! HH, Maverick.

Good job! I probably would have passed on those halves.

 

[BuffaloBoy]

Oh yeah, they were all from the same person so the rolls that contained silver were from the same person too. Maybe rewrapping boxes is one of their hobbies

 

[SanMartian]

Now that's a dump worth taking...
Congrats!

 

[BRChiver]

Yeah I would've been reluctant to take them...Great job!
HH!

Nice! See, you got good luck for telling me not to be discouraged with my skunky year labeled rolls Thursday!

haha that's a tough one to figure out! maybe they bought a box and decided it was too much hassle and they didn't know what they were looking for? weird! or maybe someone just had exactly $500 in halves they collected over the years, who knows

Your guess is as good as mine, a few weeks prior, the same person brought in $500 worth but when I went there the teller had already sold 4 rolls, so I picked up a $460 skunk, it's kinda weird.

I walked into a branch the other day and picked up $300 in CWRs and scored a couple of 40%s too.. You just never know what you will get.. Congrats on the finds buddy.

 

[fish on!]

Good job. I definitely would have passed that by. Exactly $500 in CWR is usually the dump sign.

 

[BuffaloBoy]

I know, I was hesitant on buying these too but I wanted to make my pickup bank happy. It's not too much of a strain on my pickup banks because this bank is out of my way and i don't frequent the area regularly so i can just dump the searched cwr's at another bank in the area.
They must either have a large jar of half dollars and are slowly cashing them in in $500 increments or they are a really REALLY bad crh'er. :P

Nice score on the $300 worth, yours would have been less likely to be a crh dump as it wasn't close to $500 though. I'd jump over any half dollar dump $300 and under, especially $100 and less. I'll be buying these dumps again if they decide to deposit more into the bank, i am not thrilled at all to be buying them but now that i found silver in them it makes it a little better to buy. Note: this specific person used 3 different CWR style rolls both times, kinda weird as well, the first time (a skunk) the rolls were marked with a black "X" the second time they weren't. Perhaps the tellers might be going through them?

Think of it as buying a box, and finding 3 silvers. Most of us go threw 5 plus boxes and find nothing. It really is a tough situation sometimes. I went to a bank once that had 790$ in rolled halves, I was very hesitant because I had 1k on me and the plan was to spend the day CRH. This was my first stop and I didn't want to tie up all my cash. I decided to buy all of them and all but 3 rolls were skunks. Out of the 3 rolls I managed 28 40% ! You never know!

 

[BuffaloBoy]

That is encouraging. The tellers at this bank I think know about silver but I think they are too lazy to look for them. My grandfather has gotten solid rolls from this bank about 7 years ago, in all about 3 rolls of 40%, a few peace dollars and a couple bens. I've never had such lluck unfortunately.
