I recently decided to give CRH a whirl. Let me begin by thanking all you CRHer's for all the excellent info. I have yet to buy a box of rolls, but I am planning on doing so soon.

I started looking in reject trays about 10 days ago, and today I bopped around town running errands and stopped in a few banks to ask the tellers to check out their halves and "old/weird" coins.

I had already found one silver 1964 dime thrown into a potted plant next to the Coinstar machine at this specific location a few days ago. Well, I went back today and immediately saw a silver 1963 Roosevelt sitting on top where you dump your coins. Someone had tried to run their silver back through, I guess.

I then checked the reject tray. At first I thought it had to be an Ike judging by the size, but when I pulled it out it turned out to be a 2006 American Silver Eagle. I was very surprised to say the least, as these are one troy ounce of pure silver. I couldn't believe it. I am getting ready to buy a metal detector and that coin will more than likely surpass my one year silver total after I start MD'ing. I usually don't clean coins, but this thing was REALLY nasty for such a young coin. It was so black and ugly the thought that this was a coin from the 1940's actually crossed my mind briefly before I saw the date. I cleaned it with baking soda after I got it home. Bullion coins usually don't carry too much numismatic value anyway, only intrinsic.

This is the second ASE I have scored since I have been posting here. I bought the first one (1999) off a convenience store clerk for $7.00 after one of his customers paid for a lotto ticket with it (lol).

After that reject tray bonanza, I picked up two 40% Kennedy's from teller trays at two different locations, a 1967 and a 1969-D.

I passed on about 20 clad Ikes - 15 at one place and 5 at another.

The tellers were split. About half were really nice and would look through their trays for me, while the other half acted too busy and just said "No. We don't have any" without even opening their drawers. Found out one bank has a counter free for customers - the head teller said they REALLY wanted a Coinstar so they didn't have to fool with the coins any longer. I asked about buying halves, but most places said they didn't mess with them. I am going to try to buy the counter machine rolls from that one place that wants the Coinstar so bad.

I'm looking for a bank with really mean tellers so I can open up an account there strictly for dumping purposes. ;D

Anyway, here is my total after about 10 days of sporadic teller/reject tray searching:

I will post some updates when I buy a box or two.

HH guys and thanks for all the info.

indeed very awesome , especially the eagle!

keep the clad ikes as well, you can feebay lots of 100 for 125 bucks. People buy them apparently. I think I have about 55 of them at home, got a few tellers that save them for me.

Did $85.00 worth of halves and $25.00 worth of dimes today.

Got one 1969-D 40% JFK and that was all.

Asking around today about buying a $500 box of halves. Should I buy from the bank that gets it delivered from Brinks or the bank where they have their own counting machine? Does the banks counter kick out silver?

Some do and some do not. I take my dumps to Wells Fargo and a couple of times it has rejected a couple of halves that turned out to be 40% I missed. And there is a credit union that time to time allows me to purchase halves from their counter and I have yet to be skunked.
 
Re: Running Totals/2006 Silver Eagle in the Reject Tray, 2 40% JFK's

Got my first $250.00 box of dimes today. Clear rolls so I could just check rims. Also got every half in the vault - a whopping $20.00 worth.

This is what I came up with

My bank also will not order halves unless you order $1000 worth. I only have the available funds for half that so that kind of sucks.

My box was clear rolls from Brinks brought up from the Fed in Atlanta. Anyone else here do Brinks boxes in Georgia? If so, what kind of success are you having?

Better luck than me to all and HH...

I get clear roll brinks here in Florida, which is also the Atlanta fed. I average two per box.

Thanks for the info. There was only one tarnished-up "maybe" rim showing, but after closer inspection I saw the dreaded "brown clad line" on it.

Maybe next time. :-[

hey, when i 1st started i too only had $500, and my bank could only order $1000 at a time, so i worked out a deal with them that i would pick up one box thursday, search it, dump, and buy the other box monday. they were perfectly happy, and they are still my main order bank today. hope this helps! keep it up and hh!

Got a '67 JFK from a teller tray today.

WHOOPEE!
 
Another teller tray score yesterday. 1964 JFK and a 1967 JFK. Bought $80.00 worth of halves and those were all quite skunky.
