CRH HALVES

[7up2000]

Hi everybody. This morning I went through a box of halves and found a Benji. Hard to believe someone would put one of these back into circulation. Does anybody have more info on where these come from? My bank is Wells Fargo and they get their coin from Loomis.

They are all from people bringing them to the banks. Either rolled or dumped into coin machines. They eventually make it to the coin supplier and
Dumped into the coin hopper and re rolled into the boxes we search. The bank or coin supplier have little to do with this hobby it’s all right place and right time. Most of the coins brought to the banks are either young or uniformed people who bring there grandparents collections in for cash not knowing what they are really worth. Unfortunately a lot also make it into circulation from drug addicts or theft.

They come from 20 something millennials with no clue dumping grandad's collection for pot money or vaping stuff.

It’s a shame how valuable coins are dumped at banks for face value. But, it does provide CRHers with a supply of coins we would not find in circulation otherwise.

I never demean the unknowing and the uncaring - who are primarily responsible for dumping SILVER into coin counters , or rolling SILVER into paper wrappers , and turning them in for face value . These people are on my CRH team !!!!!

Holt, there are always exceptions to every rule! Glad to hear you're one of the younguns that's payin' attention.

Ya never know where they come from I got 6 rolls of 90 percent quaurters with a acc number and ph number written on them from long ago they must have cashed em in from gramps collection

Nice finds! Good Luck on future rolls!

Drunks also cash them in looking for their next fix. I sometimes ask the clerk at the party store if he’s received any ‘funny’ coins.
