Risk Involved In Buying Bags? Absolutely

[MentalUnrest]

I have had no problems buying bags off machines until today, but luck was on my side. Teller said they had a few quarter bags so I took one 1K bag. Went home and got through it and headed to another bank to pick up 2K in halves I ordered. Turns out they never placed the order so I had nothing to pick up. This ended up being a very good thing in the end....

Decided to head back to the other bank to see how many other bags of quarters they had left. Teller said 2 which worked out perfectly so I took them both. Got through both and decided to go out and dump so I would be all cashed out tomorrow for my normal Wednesday pick up. First bank I go to, the teller informs me the bag totaled $919.50 - Uh oh... All the posts on bags being short at times came to mind rather quick. Next bank - Bag = 1K, perfect. Last bank, bag was over by $80.25 which brought everything back to equal.

On the banks end, all was well with the 3 bags as it all equaled out - However, had I not gone back for the 2nd and 3rd bag, I would have been $80.00 short. Good thing my halves were not ordered this week.

I found 1 1940 quarter total.

1940?!? All I'm ever able t find is 1964D Quarters in circulation. Great find! Glad things turn out okay for you on the bags. Keep at them while you can. Getting cut off sucks :/

Facing risk like that, and rolling that much to get 1 quarter makes CRH'ers special.

Keep on Rollin' !!

Not a big silver yield but one piece is better than none. At least you didn't get the shaft on that bag that was short!

I'm glad it all worked out in the end.What is the mint mark on the 1940? The 40-D is a semi key.

If I'm ever able to find a place that will sell me bags I'm thinking of taking in one of those digital fish scales. Just hang the bag from it before I walk out. If it is underweight by a significant amount I wouldn't take it. (not sure how significant, but I'm thinking 5% below what it should be...)
