Sorry in advance if this runs a little long. I have decided to get into CRH on a regular basis, checking mostly halves and dimes, but doing a few pennies and nickels as well. Upon checking, I have only found 2 different banks that have coin counters. I am thinking of dumping my halves at bank#1 and the rest at bank#2 based on the following info. Please tell me what you experts think.
Bank#1 will not sell me any loose halves because one of the tellers has first "dibs" on any that they obtain. Since I won't be able to obtain any there, this seems like a "no-brainer" as where to dump. Also, the coin counter is behind the counter in another room, so should I miss the occasional silver dime or something, I have no chance to see what the coin counter rejects.
At bank#2 I have known the branch manager for 25 years. I went to school with her and she is married to a guy in my graduating class. Known him since grade school. She is going to order halves for me weekly as well as call me when the coin counter fills up with halves and sell me those as well. Their counter is "self-service" so I get to see my rejects in case I missed something. But, I also have the opportunity to buy everything from the coin counter as it fills. I have learned here on TNet that counters reject many silver coins. Is that ALL silver, or just the occasional silver? Would it be worthwhile to buy the dimes and maybe even quarters from their machine? Should I buy only the nickels and pennies and dump them at bank#1 and use this bank as a dime dump only?
What scares me is that I don't want to lose bank#1 as a dump bank. To start, I will already be dumping about $5K a month in halves there. I'm scared that if I add everything else to this, they will tell me that they no longer want my business which leaves me with no dump bank. I greatly appreciate any advice on this in advance.
