I have a question ? when did the mints start rolling coins

[Deepdiger60]

When i go to my bank i always ask for any halfs if they have them the teller will sell them to me face value even if they are silver anyway the bank manager who i know a long time today asked me if i was interested in 1000.00 worth of old standing liberty half's all in there original rolls that would be 2000 coins a customer came in this morning and made a deposit with them ,he showed me 1 roll it looks like a cloth roll not paper i can see a SLH on each end ,if i want them i have to go there by tomorrow morning to get them or the bank breaks the rolls open and i guess re rolls them question is does what i explanation sound right on the material of the rolls . Thanks for any help Dd60

The manager can't promise you they are all Walking libertys. Some Barbers may have snuck into those rolls 70-75 years ago.

You make it sound like a BAD thing! lol Tell us how it goes!!!!!!

Tick tock...

So correct us if we're wrong here:

Banker calls you and tells you what has been deposited.

You go to bank and he shows you one roll which you verify has Walkers on both ends and are in very old wrappers.

You have the opportunity to purchase all the coins at face value.

You leave the bank without any coins.

Seriously, do you have to ask ? Seriously ?

Be there, buy them and let the rest of us (vicariously) live through your awesome adventure........that you will post about on this forum.

Oh yeah, enjoy the high.

Iam not really interested in the value of the coins what i was asking was if those half's are in the original rolls from the mint because there could be some un circulated coins in there iam more interested in the condition

If I offered you $13,000 for free right now, would you take it? Of course you would.

Excuse the caps...

HOW COULD YOU NOT BE INTERESTED IN $1000 OF WALKERS FOR FACE VALUE? ARE YOU MAD?!

Be at that bank two hours before they open with $1,000 in your pocket. Buy every roll they have. If they are all Walkers, you hit the biggest Jackpot I've ever heard of. Keep us posted. Also, when you get them, go out of the bank to your car and only open one or two rolls to see what's in there. Then do not, repeat DO NOT open any more as they will be worth more in the original rolls. I'm rooting for you. Don't forget to post a ton of pictures. Good luck tomorrow.

Why didn't you take at least the one roll? Something don't smell right to me.

[enamel7]

well?

 

[dave5710]

He must still be waiting for the armored car he ordered.

 

[Fredness]

I personally think he's in shock from the major score....

I have to agree with you. The mint didn't roll coins and neither did the banks back then. Coin was delivered in bags. When people turned in coin at the bank, they turned them in loose. The concept of not spending change and keeping it in a change jar was unheard of during the time when Walkers were minted. 50 cents was alot of money in the 20's and 30's. People couldn't afford to set aside "rolls" of such a high denomination. Now, the rolls that the OP is referring to might indeed be some crusty rolls, but they were more likely assembled back at a time when Franklins were circulating or even later when 90% silver was discontinued.

 

[rwb83]

ummm so did he ever get these? Man, if I didn't have the money for them, and even go as far as getting one of those payday loan places then selling enough to cover the face value loan and the loan fees there would have been MORE THAN ENOUGH to cover that. Yeah, coinflation shows $13,144.00 at todays silver price.

I second or third that.....

 

[Diggin-N-Dumps]

i have to go there by tomorrow morning to get them

If I were you I would have already been there to pick them up. 2000 coins would have a silver value of $13,223.60

The manager can't promise you they are all Walking libertys. Some Barbers may have snuck into those rolls 70-75 years ago.

Oh Bummer...Hopefully not to many Barbers...lol
