Saturdays 14 Boxes of Halves + My first 1970!

[db23]

Was supposed to be 26 but 1 bank said they couldn't open the vault today (even though they knew I was going to be coming today) and the other said they didn't get them in yet. Both are new banks for me, as is Bank #3 in this list.

Total take = 13x 90% & 45x 40%

Bank 1:
Box1 - 1x 90% and 4x 40%
Box2 - Skunk
Box3 - Skunk
Box4 - 1x 90% and 2x 40%

Bank 2:
Box5 - 3x 90% and 8x 40%
Box6 - 1x 90% and 4x 40%
Box7 - 1x 90% and 6x 40%
Box8 - 2x 40%
Box9 - Skunk
Box10 - 1x 40%

Bank 3:
Box11 - 3x 90% and 8x 40%
Box12 - 2x 90% and 6x 40%
Box13 - 1x 90% and 4x 40%
Box14 - Skunk

Plus found 1 silver dime in a reject tray while dumping...

Edit to add... Oh yeah! Also found my first 1970 in the very first roll I opened today.

Wow, my bank looked at me funny when I said I wanted to order 3 boxes at a time. I can't imagine what they'd say if I asked, let alone 6 at one. That's great that they will order that many for you. I might have to try to get a couple more in my area. Congrats on the good number of keepers!

Nice score for 14 boxes!

Nice consistant numbers.. wish it was like that out here. Seems like half the boxes I get are skunks. Sometimes the producers give up only a few.

With that quantity, I'm curious how long these banks will let you do it. Better buy up some cookies and donuts for the tellers.

Pickup banks are not the problem. The one that I ordered 6 from emphasized that I can order as many as I want. If I told them 20, they'll order me 20. 4-6 per week per bank is my normal number unless a bank starts to run dry, then I lower it to 2. As long as the banks know I'm coming for them, they don't seem to have a problem, they just don't want to get stuck with them.

The teller from bank #3 on the list called me 3 times this morning to make sure I was coming, the second I handed her the cash for the boxes she had no problem taking my order for 4 more boxes.

Chase is the only bank that seems to have a problem ordering them for me, in any number - weekly anyway.

TD tried to cut me off from dumping this morning, but that'll be it's own thread...
