I went to one of my pick up bank located inside a supermarket to see if my order of halves arrived. They told me that it might take another week. Since I was already there, I asked if they had any halves laying around. Teller says yes, one of our tellers have $130 worth. Took all of it. Got in my car and noticed some of the CWR had the markings KS. Opened one and it looked like this.........

Wow this is a really interesting angle - might actually be something I could pursue in some areas (lots of elderly pockets).

Just to ask about basic technique, is it something where you go in and strike up a conversation about being into coins and then come by once and a while and ask if they have some? Then pay in cash for the coins as an exchange? Really curious about this approach, thank you for whatever you can share.

Nice score, that's just amazing that someone deposits that. Their loss, your massive gain.

My best score ever is still 3 solid rolls of Walkers and Ben's and 3 x 40%ers I got from $91 in customer halves less than two weeks after joining Tnet. I was sure a happy hunter with that lucky score but u more than doubled my silver finds from that day with this incredible score. Just never know when and where the next big score might be. Good luck with the rest of the rolls from that other teller. :)

H$H!

No it's a bank. You go in and ask if they have what ever denomination you want. Just don't go in and ask if they have any "silver".

VW, I suggest doing a lot of reading on this forum. You will learn a lot. Then you can hit the pavement and find your own treasure trove :icon_thumright:

Thank you all for your kind words. I always envied all of your great finds as well. I'm fairly new to Tnet and CRH. I went back to the same bank and the teller that had the coins don't come in until Monday. They said they don't have access to the same tellers cash box. Only that same teller can sell me those coins. I'm gonna be there first thing Monday. I'm buying ALL CWR from that same teller........hope my hunch is right.......

Good luck on Monday. If you're able to get even more $ilver from that other teller that would be the $ilver icing on your already Killer Score! :)

Good luck. I suggest buying some machine wrapped rolls from another bank to have on hand to swap out for the customer wrapped rolls if the teller doesn't have enough coin to sell you some of theirs.

Went back right away and asked if any of the other teller's coins had any markings similar to the ones that they just gave me. Teller said the lady that had the coins already cashed out and I have to come back tomorrow. I went back in my car and opened the rest of the rolls........ Total is 140 90% all 1964 Kennedy halves most are in uncirculated condition and 3 40% from the other rolls. BEST EVER! I'll be back tomorrow!

I think you had such good luck because you commented on my dime score! :laughing7:

Lots of big finds happening lately! :)

Congrats on the solid rolls!

I'm still hoping whoever turned those rolls in didn't just turn in only half dollars.........I can only dream for now......
