Major Merc Score (2 solid rolls plus!!)

[cuttybce]

Just when I thought I had seen it all....

I am currently in a state of shock.

Today I returned to the Citizens Bank branch at my local Giant Eagle north of Pittsburgh to buy $400 in dimes. This is the same branch that produced my solid Merc roll score last April.

About one-third of the way through opening the rolls, I opened one with a very nondescript brown wrapper and saw a Merc head smiling at me. Further review showed 57 of them smiling back at me...all from the 1940's and all in decent shape. Yes, 57 of them in one roll.

Once I was able to pick myself up off the ground, I kept going and found another wrapper that looked like the Merc roll. This one was partially open and had (what else?) a Merc head at the end. Imagine my surprise when it was ANOTHER SOLID ROLL OF MERC'S and also had seven extras!!!!

Total take: 114 Merc dimes and 4 silver Roosies!!!!!!!

Pictures to come later (my wife has our only camera).

Remember - IT'S STILL OUT THERE!!

Congrats! I found 4 solid rolls last month myself, its an awesome feeling.

Now you have 2 things you can do.

1: Call them up and ask them if they have any customer wrapped rolls for sale. If they say they do but that they are low on dimes, offer to bring in unopened boxes of mint dimes to swap them out with. That is what I did.

2: Much like above but if they say yes, buy all you can. if you are limited on funds, ask them to concentrate on getting you the specific kind of rolls you are looking for.

Also, try to get all the customer rolls out of the tellers drawers as you can. I believe that was where my 1st roll of mercs came from before I purchased all I could from their vault.

Good luck, hope you score more.

Nice find, looks like our area is producing!

P.S. I won't hit that place up for quarters or other coins.

It is cold, wet and windy. Trying to stay inside, now I guess it is time to go to the bank. Toss some of your luck my way.

 

[Bigheed]

great score indeed, WOW !!

Be on the lookout in all those Mercs for the elusive 1916 - D , if you got one thats worth a bit of coin :-)

As mentioned by others I would go back and ask if they have anymore CWR stuff and buy it all.

I know right where that is, but it wasn't Settlers Ridge. It was in the North Hills.

 

[FingerGrime]

Nice find. I wouldn't tell everyone where you got them though...

Nice find. I wouldn't tell everyone where you got them though...

Aint that the truth. If I were near there I would be walking in with $1500 to buy every dime they have to going out to get boxes to replace all their cwr's

 

[jr98119]

WooHoo. Great score! I'm going to head north on 279 right now!

 

[minkybodl]

Nice finding a solid roll of silver dimes, better still all Mercs, and then to get an extra 7 in the roll, don't think any way it could get any better than that unless you doubled it. Way to go!

 

[Captaindoodle]

Very good luck for you today!

I love those Merc's.

[clovis97]

Congrats!!!!

I've found 3 Mercs or so in my life...I cannot imagine getting a solid roll or two.

What is the exact address...I am only an 8 hour drive from there...I'd like to Mapquest it.
