Charging for boxes

[mjh955]

I've been coin roll hunting for a few years now in Northern California. Never had an issue getting boxes from Wells Fargo until now. Because of my work schedule I search a box of pennies or nickels maybe once every couple months or so. Now they want to charge $5 to order a box!! Anyone else having this issue? This will be my first nickel box since last May. Hopefully I can post some good results.

Sometimes I don't even get boxes. I might just get like $20 in nickels and $100 in dimes. Getting coins to search that way might be a loophole in the charging for boxes. Just a thought

Lots of other banks out there, check with them to see if they would order you boxes without fees. BTY do you have account with Wells Fargo? If you a account holder you might be able to order a occasional box for no fee. I personally won't get a box from any bank that wants to charge me a fee.

paying for boxes makes no sense
if you are going to pay, might as well buy the coins from a LCS/CL

Ask for as many rolls as you can get( just shy of a full box count )- then they may not be able to "policy " you out of what you want .
These banks are getting increasingly less willing to do anything for anybody that doesn't result in them making money off of you !
