Howdy my fellow CRHers,

Some of you old timers may remember me from 3-5 years ago I posted quite a bit and had a lot of good finds but today's ranks right up there as the best!

I have been way too busy to CRH any boxes or rolls for about 2 years now because of my growing family and business responsibilities.

I ask occasionally if I am in the bank but usually never get anything more than a few clad halves. I didn't even ask for coins I was just depositing some checks when the teller today at my main bank asks me if I collect those dimes that say Mercury on them. I said absolutely, she checks her personal safe and not being in there she checks the other safe and produced the following: 20rollsmercs.webp

20 solid rolls of mercs with a melt value of $1271 purchased for $100! She said she wasn't sure why he cashed these in but she thought of me and saved them for me. Of course I asked if he brought anything else in and she said no just $100 of dimes. I told her I collect anything and everything and if he brings anything else in I would happy to take them. I thanked her profusely and told her she was the best about 3 times. I am wondering what I should get for her?

I'll do a breakdown over the next few days if anyone is interested. I am a silver scavenger not a collector per se so what key dates should I be looking for?

HH,

50$ gift card would sure make a mark.
 

you want to look for 1942 over 1 variety. It's popular, and worth a pretty penny.

SWEET SCORE BUTT HEAD!
 

You might keep an eye out for a 1916-D or two (lol !!) Seriously - go get a "Redbook" of U.S. coins -you'll be happy you did !
Monster score !!! - go buy that teller a gift card to a nicer area restaurant !
 

Fantastic!

Not really much else to say. Haha

Great score!

HOLY SHIZZZ Silversurfer

Hope the 16D is in there ;)
 

Some banks don't allow gratuities (financial compensation), but I'm sure the branch manager wouldn't mind if you brought lunch & dessert!
 

I should take up not searching myself.

Congrats!
 

Awesome find [emoji106]
Being nice to the tellers goes a long way. Even after 2 years, they'll remember you.
 

Awesome! Show us the silver, please!
 

If this doesnt make you to want to get back into the hobby idk what will! I dream of finding something like this lol and just to think how excited I was to find one merc lol
 

Super fantastic find. Get her something very special, maybe jewelry, chocolates, flowers, but something bigger than donuts.
 

Don't forget to tithe.

Some can accept gift cards, mine had a $25 limit to that, no cash.
 

What to say, what to say. I'm speechless as you are; maybe I'm as equally happy as you are right now...and I don't even have the coins in my collection LOL!

AWESOME!

I think I'll get some coins tomorrow..
 

Nice haul! Silver mania has really hit a lull lately, and even those in the know are dumping collections due to low silver prices.
