Everywhere I go I turn up these rolls with the same initials on them. $100 here, $200 there. Its slightly maddening but funny. The tellers seem to love searching them again. They are often taped shut but some tellers are cutting the tape and just leaving it on there like a tattered bandage. There are thousands of dilapidated beat up rolls lurking around. I usually think way too hard about this stuff and try to see a pattern. Some places where they turn up I am aware that an employee is extremely interested in CWR, other banks the tape is undisturbed. I like the tape because I can tell if they're searched but I can't think of a time I found a good score with tape on it, cut or not. I start to wonder if someone is intentionally trying to dump them in my path and I try to put as many in fresh CWR paper and dump them in their path, pickup banks etc. It reminds me of spy vs spy lol.
My thoughts to find silver are to go where you found silver before even if theres a half hawk in the house. I have one bank where they are sooo nice, they have no interest in coins and tell me they have no collectors but i've never found a silver there. I've searched about $750 worth of cwrs and $120 loose halves. Across the street is a branch rife with snipers and collectors and yet I average a roosie a week there out of $50-60 in dimes. Many branches I've never gotten a 40% half but have sniped silver quarters and dimes out from half hawk tellers often.
So what would you do? I hate leaving less than $500 because instead of shipping them to a sorting facility the banks tend to sit on them until someone comes along. It is easier to dump $200 in halves with some dimes quarters and nickels and it looks more legit. Dumping is not easy for me. Once i dump somewhere I feel as though I can never ask for coins/ halves there again. Many of my dump banks have closed or are too far out of my search area. There's only one machine left a half hour from me. For now the spy vs. spy continues but there must be a better way. I must have seen some of these rolls 3-4 times by now no matter where i take them. Some are my rolls that were bought and marked and dumped back at my pickup bank. I think we both hope the other will tire of the game. While I suspect the other spy doesn't have infinite cash on hand to buy halves he/ she does have a lot more free time and inclination than I do for the longer wait times and less productive hunting the post covid era offers. Perhaps I should put a note in the rolls calling for a truce or addresses so we can work out some mutual dump banks. Ok rant over, someone make a joke.
