Road tripping today

[The_EE]

Well, one bank that I made a relationship with called me yesterday saying that they have a $1000 bag of quarters from their customer coin machine ready for me so I plan on picking that up today. I figure while I am in town, I am going to hit a few banks, grab whatever they have in customer rolls of dimes, quarters, halves and check those over first, dumping at 3 bank branches in town I have accounts with and weed out every bank before grabbing the bag of quarters. I hope to do about $3,000-$4,000 in change today to make up for the last 2 weeks on not being able to hunt at all.

I have my map drawn, all bank info written down, drinking my coffee, getting ready to make breakfast and hope that the new job I put an application in for doesnt call me for an interview while I am out.

Yeah, speaking of that job.M-F 4pm-12:30am. Perfect job to allow me to still CRH and hit most auctions and all garage sales.

Wish me luck!

Good Luck Especially on the quarters. I've only found two from bags off machines. If you get a bunch that would be pretty cool. I predict more silver from teller trays and CWR than the quarters, but I'm wrong a lot...

Hit it!

I dont expect to hit the mother lode but you never know. This is an older community and people are cashing in their change to make ends meet, I bet those silver quarters could go right in too.

I have found 2 quarters in 3 brinks boxes last year.

1 found 1 in a tellers tray

Bought one off a guy at Coin Star when it came out his reject tray.

My main reason of going is to hit all the banks, grab all they have, search and dump, the $1000 bag is to take home and enjoy after the trip

Have fun and hit em hard.

50 rolls of Brinks Dimes - Topeka Kansas Token and a toned dime
100 rolls of CW Quarters ( $1000 bag ) - Nothing but it seems the bag was $10 heavy, see if Coin Counter agrees tomorrow.

Got a handful of free Canadian coins, none old or silver but I figure I will add them to the collection of coins. I have one bank holding all the foreign coins from their reject tray from now on for me

Turns out one coin I got was a 1971 5 Pence

The token description is as follows below.
