Cool find at the bank today

The manager at my bank orders me $2000.00 in halves every week and I pick them upon Fridays. I went in today to get them and he said someone just dropped off $100 in halves and showed me them. They were unopened mint rolls (w/ the us mint roll paper) 2001 p&d, 2002p&d, (2) 2003p&d, and 2004p&d. I took them from him along with my 4 boxes. Do people pay any premium for these??? I'm just going to put them away for now. Must have been someone that ordered them every year and is being hit by the economy.

    They don't mind, they just roll 'em and send them back to bank #1 where they have a guy who picks up rolls of them every week.image

    Back when I searched 'em, I received the same coins all the time. One 95-P I saw 3 times over about 6 weeks.

    These guys aren't joking.
    The other bank rolls them, sends them back to the Fed, who then sends em to your other bank that orders them for you.
    If you aren't finding silver, then you are not seeing fresh coins, just the same crap over and over.
    I find silver almost every time, but these are fresh coins turned in by customers. Today we had a measly
    24 halves in the vault, I bought them all. Found 4 40%.

    I too have one bank the loves me and buys me cool coins at face... And one bank that doesn't love me so much, whom I bring all the scratchy coins to, at face.

    I don't think those OBW rolls from you mentioned were released for circulation so it should be a small premium for them.
