Don't Call It a Comeback...

[Sleepy Holow]

Went to the Royal Canadian Mint in Winnipeg during our family road trip. I think I caught a fever while I was there...and the only prescription is more coin roll hunting!

Picked up a dime box today in a state that I've lived in now for about 11 months. Anyway, three rolls in...BAM! First CRHing find in 5.5yrs! Ended up getting 3 keepers outta the box. Quantity good, quality not so much: 1964 and 1964Dx2. Like I said, don't call it a comeback - there's a lot that goes into starting a CRH operation from the ground up, but a good start nonetheless. Still have 9 holes to fill in my 1946-64 book...

Well, progress was made today. Opened up an account with apparently the only bank in town with a coin counter. Almost thought I was going to have to re-roll every coin. Are coin counters getting phased out? Also, not seeing clear rolls anymore. Are those a thing of the past as well?

Today's results:
Dump bank acct - opened
Dime Box - skunk
$40 MWR Dimes - skunk

Edit: Also, coin counter at dump bank had $1.11 and a Bahamas quarter in reject tray. Good potential there...

In my area, only credit unions still have coin machines.

Sleepy sounds like you’re back in! Haha! I am in upstate NY, and there are two large CUs with coin machines in every branch. When I lived down in the Charlotte area I think there was one CU that had them, but no one else in town did, so they were very few
And far between. Needless to say I stopped hunting when I lived there.

Anyway, welcome back and good luck

A lot of the banks have to pay a "lease rental charge" on coin machines, so to cut costs they attempt to take customer wrap rolls and hope that everyone can COUNT., thus eliminate the rental, not have to order as much, and a constant flow of incoming rolls.
