Guys, today was a disheartening day. Good thing killerwines picture of his leaning tower of silver is up otherwise Id cry! I got a box from BoA today, that they ordered for me, and well, it was already searched. Every rolls was ripped open and retaped. I need some good finds on Monday to stay motivated coach! :) Good luck all.

That stinks!!
Don't feel bad...I got $500 box of halves from the bank that they ordered for me....
I did not get one keeper!!!
I think someone at the Feds is searching and keeping all the good ones..
Oh well...Keep searching

Bummer! Better luck next batch, AFM.

Never heard of taping the rolls back together. Banks don't mind that?
 

I dunno about the taping, but Im going to take em to a big Wells Fargo in Austin and see if theyll take it, the whole $500 box. I forgot to mention, I did find 1 1971 proof that had been circulated, in the $250 i checked.
 

Keep looking!...My worst luck seems to come just before my best. I've found those taped rolls in my orders also. Wouldn't think the bank ordering them would like it... Never did hear from my bank today...was supposed to get $1000 order in...seem to do better at smaller banks in the boonies. HH
 

Been there, done that. Twice over the past couple of year or so I have gotten $1000 worth and not had one keeper. The fact that I know I will find some keeps me going tho.
 

Oooof... Kinda like being on the receiving end of a sucker punch to the gut. Don't get discouraged. It's still out there.
Here's to better luck for us all!!
Cheers,
Bob
 

Joe88- I thought the same thing as well, that some bum at the fed was pulling all the silver out, but at the minneapolis fed, they exchange $80 million in cash and coin daily! i don't think anyone has that much time on his hands. LOL

i thought that because i went thru $1,000 and found 1 lousy 40%-er!. LOL
 

I always put my halves back into the rolls that I get from the fed and tape the end that I opened. My bank wants them rolled and for me this is the easiest way rather that rerolling them in a new roll. The bank then sends them back to the fed. I always assumed that the fed ran them through a counter and rerolled them. Maybe someone there got lazy and just reboxed yours. I hope they weren't from me. I would be dissapointed to know that I let a 40%er slip by.
