Grocery Store Bank Find

[gordon and tanner]

I worked about 60 miles from home today in Flint, MI. I stopped at 4 banks on the way out of town, I ended up with about $30 in halves all clad. Back in my home town I stopped a Kroger grocery store that has a Chase bank inside. They had $500 in CRH in a brinks box. The teller said that they have had a lot of halves being deposited lately. I really did not want to pick up someone's dump so I only bought $200. I stopped a mile or so down the road as I had about 30 more minutes before picked my kids up from school. About the fourth roll in I found a 1964 90%. I ended up with another a few more rolls later. Of course I drove back the bank and bought another $230. (all I had left with me). Tanner and I ended up with 3 90% and 2 40%. I will head back tomorrow for the rest.

I have always seemed to have good luck at grocery store banks. I think some people need food and cash in part of some collection or at least part of a coin stash from their coin jar.

Grocery store banks are usually good because you usually avoid dumps (not many of them have industrial coin counters so no CRHer is going to dump $1K) and most get few change orders from banks so CWRs are common and sit for months with no one buying them.
