paper vs plastic

[drcaulfield]

I have not been doing this a long time....started about 2 weeks ago. I have gone through roughly 8 boxes of dimes and found 5 roosevelt dimes and one 44 merc. It is interesting to not that I have found them all in the clear plastic wrapped rolls that my local bank is kind enough to let me examine and return 5 minutes later.


I have been skunked in every paper roll I have undone.


Has anyone else had this type of luck?


I also have a newbie question.......since these coins are bought and dumped locally do they then go to a central brinks depot to be rewrapped if returned in bags to my local bank? it would seem to me that a specific geographic area serviced by say brinks would simply be recirculating the same coins over and over and so a area with a bunch of CRHers would have serious diminished returns. Am I wrong in thinking this?


Thanks

That's funny, I've searched hundreds of thousands in dimes and never get any silvers in the plastic, because they are Brinks, and Brinks, well, you know....culls - I mean services Coinstar, which rejects silver.

I search Brinks, and you know I find Silver, now, I ( as well as everyone else I'm sure) wish they would wrap halves in plastic, wouldn't that be cool! HH, Maverick.

Don't do this. ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Dump elsewhere. You'll end up just getting the same rolls back if you pick up, don't open, and dump at the same bank. Also, you'll wear out your welcome

it doesn't matter to me, i average roughly the same in either style wrapper.

I only do pennies since my funds aren't great right now ;p but I just got 2 brinks boxes for the first time and the first box had 25 wheats in it o.o can't wait to go through the next box. These are plastics I'm going through Hated the paper.. always a huge mess to clean up I just cut down the middle of the plastic tap em out and throw them in the box.

When you cut down the middle of those wrappers don't you also put cuts into your coins?

They do, but hope nothing rare shows up.

Yes, for the most part.
