Just got back from the bank. I had gotten all of the pennies one teller had a 2 days ago (he was off yesterday when i went back). I found 394 wheat pennies (and one old canadian) in 40 rolls. I got all he had of nickles and dimes as well (the person that brought in the pennies didn't bring in any quarters). 9 rolls of dimes - 393 silver dimes. I wish i had a camera.

I had previously gone through $600ish in dimes and gotten just one silver dime.

I haven't hit the nickles yet - that's the next project - i'm trying to savor this gold mine.

I know there's several of us that hit up these rolls - keep at it boys! (and girls!)

That's amazing and congrats! I wonder where the source is in this day and age? Hard to believe there are so many silver dimes floating around in circulation. HH, Mike

too bad Silver took a dump the last few days ( by over $1.00 an ounce, currently at $8.35 ) You still can cash it in at about $200.00 Bullion !! Damn nice investment of your time & money I would say !!? ?;)

That is an outstanding find!? That silver is still out there in circulation.? Just a few months ago some old lady at my work bought something with $40 in silver quarters.? People were on those quarters like hawks including myself.? I was lucky enough to get $8 of it.? I would have bought them all if I was the first person on the scene.? ?;)

I was playing blackjack at the casino one night and of coarse got a blackjack on a 25$ bet. The dealer paid me out my 37.50 but stopped because he noticed the half dollar was silver. I had to call the pitboss over because the dealer tried switching halves on me... I got it. Don't know where it is today....

That is the best story in the world!!!

Nice Jackpot, as long as elderly people keep taking those collections to the bank we will find silver!

Keep @ it and HH!!

nice score, that's crazy. That's why I always search customer rolls, you'll never get that from a box.
