This weeks boxes all skunks- no christmas ag for me :( but thats not even the worst part-
Was at my fave dump branch today- they are always very friendly andndont give me any looks or scowls (at least not to my face lol) anyways this particular CU the tellers have been trained to basically close the bag in the machine before pulling it out(and I would learn later why) ive seen1 or 2 times when the teller couldnt get it closed inside so they had to pull it out of the machine to close and seal it- well today was of those times- as she pulled it out I saw midway through the bag several very white shiny rims- I jumped and asked her if before she.closed it I could look at some of them cause i might have seen some I neede for my collection - as shes tearing the plastic strip off of the sticky stuff she shakes her head and said that they used to let people dig through them but then people where taking advantage and taking handfuls and the tellers were having hard time with it so no more- ugh as she flung it on the cart there were several more shiny white 64 kens and some bens right on the bottom- again ugh maybe theyll be in one of my boxes the next couple weeks

sorry to hear about the back luck lately. And that must be tough seeing that silver so close after dumping all your skunk boxes. Hope some of that silver shows up in some on your next boxes like u said.

Hey Russell, ah yes, the Silver that got away, we all hate that feeling, I have a teller at 1 of my pick up banks that I just can't stand ( she doesn't know it), every time I come in to pick up my boxes ( not from her, the vault teller who is very cool) she comes over to the window with a hand full of something Silver ( this week it was a roll of freakin Quarters) that came in and she got to snag for face value, so I totally get the feeling of it just walking away from you, it sucks, but won't be the last time unfortunately. HH, Maverick.

GAH! That is terrible! I guess you couln't have offered $1000 for the bag? That gives me such a sad feeling inside, a feeling that makes me want to eat a bad banana with greasy black peel.

That was just a painful story. That would have been a nice score though. I bet that teller picked them for themselves right after you left!

My bank won't even consider anyone looking through the bags. I asked.

Same, it is a company wide policy for my dump bank, although some tellers are sneaky and snag a few off the top of the bag (they do not steal but rather replace a silver with a clad, but they don't rummage through the bags).
My bank won't even consider anyone looking through the bags. I asked.

Not unless she/they ripped open the already sealed bag-

Nice that it was sealed, prevents those tellers from swapping them out!

Jav the tellers have to seal them once they take them out of the coin machines

The banks I dump at with coin machines, a few of the tellers always take the open bag off and go straight in the back without sealing it prior. Def hunting on the job!

First two stanza's complete:


You’re a mean one… Mr. Skunk
You really cost a meal
You’re as cuddley as a clad, you’re as charming as rusted steal
Mr Skunk….. You’re deserved to be smashed beneath my car’s wheel

You’re a monster
Mr. Skunk
You’re silver content doesn’t even weight a mole
You’re metals full of viruses. You got dirt on the obverse, Mister Skuunk….. I wouldn’t touch you without any gloves!


(incase anyone forgot the original song, just look the grinch song up on youtube and listen to it)

I'll get the rest done before christmas.
