  1. How I got silver from another person at the coin counter today for free

    This has worked for me several times and I am just sharing what I think is a decent piece of advice on getting more silver in your pocket when you notice another customer at the coin counter has it and doesn't know or care. The story: Teller is helping another customer to dump their coin jug...
  2. Has anybody tried CRHing at "Checks Cashed" places?

    If you are a CRHer from the ghetto, then you know exactly what I am talking about. These are places where people go and cash their paychecks and usually end up paying a fee to cash checks. Some of these places also do currency conversion and other stuff depending on if you are in a high-tourist...
  3. Is there is a COINspiracy going on with armored services culling for silver?

    I demand congress to cull these cullers from culling our treasure! I mean, how do they report their profit from the cull? Where and whom does it go to, and is it sold/traded/etc by it's silver content or face content? Do they have to report to theIRS or is it all tax-free free silver? We need...
  4. Stampless yellow half box gave me 2x 1964s!

    I just got a yellow H.F. String & Son box from the usual bank, but I noticed there was no stamp on the box at all. In it, I found two 1964s and nothing else. This is the first time I have found two 64s in one box, but also without any accommodating 40%ers either. What is up with that? I have...

  6. Great teqhnique for getting all of the Banks customer wrapped rolls

    Great teqhnique for getting all of the Bank's customer wrapped rolls Bring some machine wrapped rolls with you to exchange for customer wrapped rolls, and explain why you are doing so. Has anybody ever tried this? I am sure a bank would have no issue doing this, and might even invite the idea...

  8. Coin Roll Hunting Styles, Techniques and Pitfalls

    I've been around the CRH scene for a few months now, and have been a lurker of the scene since 2009. In that time, I have noticed there are a few different techniques that the pros use to get silver, and some pitfalls to them. I will list what I see, and feel free to post yours. 1. High volume...

  10. Sweet box of halves & Upping my half dollar search and territory

    Went to a new branch of a bank that I stop at on my lunch breaks when I am at work. They do three coin orders per week and I asked them to tack one box for every order. This is an extra $1500 in halves a week to search in conjunction with the one box per week from another branch, and the two...
  11. Weaselbrott is wishing you all a Happy Precious Metal Monday!

    Every Monday is Precious Metal Monday; so long as a bank is open and has rolls for me! After a Sunday with no banks to get rolls from, doesn't Monday always feel like a holiday (work aside, of course!)? Anyway, on my lunch today, I went to a new bank branch (out of the hundreds in the city...
  12. Starting to get paranoid, I need some words of wisdom from you CRHers

    Hey guys and gals. I just came back from my "lunch" which is really just becoming a coin roll hunting mission. What I do on these missions is go to one bank to dump, then go to another to get coin, then another to dump, etc.... I go to a total of 3 dump branches of my bank per day on an average...
  13. No silver today... but thats okay!

    Did my usual lunch walk today and picking up coin rolls along the way, asking tellers for the older coinage. Nobody had custi rolled anything, and nobody had any halves either; nut-thin!! Every so often, I have a day where I don't find a single silver coin, and today was my day. Don't let bad...
  14. Just a little over a month in the game, and I hit the jackpot! (with story and pics)

    First of all, how would you react when you see something like this?: I went to one of the many banks in my home area the other day requesting a box of dimes. This was the first time I had requested so much coin from them, and they told me they would call me the following week to let me know...
  15. Forum noobs first box!

    So I recently stumbled onto the concept of this coin roll hunting and was immediately interested, so I went ahead and ordered me a box from my lifelong banking institution. It came in and I got to checking it out and lo and behold - four '64s and forty three 40%ers. I'm hooked.... So much so...
  16. Silver in MWR penny roll

    My Dad was unwrapping a box of Garda-wrapped penny rolls yesterday and found this coin that says "Silver Circle .999 Fine Silver 1/10 Troy Ounce" from the Golden State Mint in the middle of a roll. I thought this was a cool find -- probably worth at least $3.
  17. Went on a mission today... it paid off

    This is the result of my mission from this morning. I woke up this morning and had a real itch for some silver. I decided to do a bank tour around my town. I mapped out the banks I wanted to go to, and asked them for customer wrapped coins if at all possible, otherwise I would snag up as many...
  18. My Second Hunt - Half as Lucky as the First

    So I went to get my now bi-weekly order of halves at work yesterday. This is the second time I have CRH for halves, usually pennies. However, I am enjoying pulling silver a lot more than copper. This time I had twice as many boxes but got the same number of keepers. Last time was 2 boxes...
