Just got back from the bank. I had gotten all of the pennies one teller had a 2 days ago (he was off yesterday when i went back). I found 394 wheat pennies (and one old canadian) in 40 rolls. I got all he had of nickles and dimes as well (the person that brought in the pennies didn't bring in any quarters). 9 rolls of dimes - 393 silver dimes. I wish i had a camera.

I had previously gone through $600ish in dimes and gotten just one silver dime.

I haven't hit the nickles yet - that's the next project - i'm trying to savor this gold mine.

I know there's several of us that hit up these rolls - keep at it boys! (and girls!)

That's amazing and congrats! I wonder where the source is in this day and age? Hard to believe there are so many silver dimes floating around in circulation. HH, Mike
 

WoW gar!! :o

I'm gonna have to try that!!!

Great stuff!!

;)
 

too bad Silver took a dump the last few days ( by over $1.00 an ounce, currently at $8.35 ) You still can cash it in at about $200.00 Bullion !! Damn nice investment of your time & money I would say !!? ?;)
 

Hehe, averaged out over how long it took to get this lucky, im not making good wages - but im having a blast doing it!

Nickel wise -

160 from the 50's,
2 from the 30's
4 silver war nickels
72 other regular nickels form the 40's

That is an outstanding find!? That silver is still out there in circulation.? Just a few months ago some old lady at my work bought something with $40 in silver quarters.? People were on those quarters like hawks including myself.? I was lucky enough to get $8 of it.? I would have bought them all if I was the first person on the scene.? ?;)
 

Congrats good find, It's good to know such things are still possible, Glad to hear it, gonna have to give it a try in my little home town,

I was playing blackjack at the casino one night and of coarse got a blackjack on a 25$ bet. The dealer paid me out my 37.50 but stopped because he noticed the half dollar was silver. I had to call the pitboss over because the dealer tried switching halves on me... I got it. Don't know where it is today....
 

WOW! It's finds like that that make me continue going to the bank every chance I get to look through more change!

That is the best story in the world!!!

Nice Jackpot, as long as elderly people keep taking those collections to the bank we will find silver!

Keep @ it and HH!!
 

nice score, that's crazy. That's why I always search customer rolls, you'll never get that from a box.
