My bank is generous, is yours? Findings! Nothing Earth Shaking but interesting.

joeykoins · September 1, 2020 12:15PM

Well well, look what "my bank" was willing to give me! Awesome, 20 rolls at least. I did ask for a whole box but hey, I'm ecstatic. Can't wait to dig in later on. Lol

TwoSides2aCoin · September 1, 2020 12:17PM

They loan me money at 11% interest. Yeah, they love me.

Catbert · September 1, 2020 12:19PM

I have 3 banks, each has there good points and bad.......hence the need for three

SaorAlba · September 1, 2020 1:36PM

I don't bank, I have three credit unions and I am very pleased with all of them. The tellers are all trained to save the goodies for me, so they can get treats.

While they pay a small fraction of 1% on their savings accounts.

Looks like either a parking ticket or a PCGS submission form!

Tom147 · September 1, 2020 2:00PM

I vote submission form.

joeykoins · September 1, 2020 2:10PM

@abcde12345 or a PCGS submission form!

Bingo! A submission form it is. Lol a ticket, huh?

Modwriter · September 1, 2020 2:30PM

My bank has been very generous to me, but I usually only get a couple of rolls at a time. If they question me, I say run my card. If they do I get hustled into a private office. It must be my mask.

okiegirl · September 1, 2020 2:38PM

I regularly go to about 7 or 8 banks in 3 different towns. As soon as I walk through the door the tellers start pulling stuff out of their drawers that they have been saving for me. Including 2 counterfeit bills. Shhhh don't tell anyone it's illegal.

That's commitment!

I'd love to get a few fake bills but I am not sure I know any of the tellers well enough to ask.

TurboSnail · September 1, 2020 2:54PM

Fight that parking ticket. And your defense will be unable to feed the meter due to coin shortage.

TurboSnail · September 1, 2020 3:06PM

Got a phone call from a teller last week with $1500 worth of quarters in clear plastic sealed bank bags. They were too lazy to roll them up themselves and decided to call me before sending those coins to central.

Believe it or not, they asked me. It was my home town bank and I had to swear to keep quiet. Shhhh

Hmmm...20 rolls. I'll guess one silver. 1963-D Roosevelt.

Aren't you the optimistic one.
1 silver from just 20 rolls would be very unlikely.

@mannie gray

Gotta believe! I haven't done dimes steadily since 2014, but in the period of 2009-2014 I averaged ~1.7 silvers per box. Six years on of additional dilution (billions of coins) and a lot of new CRH'ers, yeah one 90% from 20 rolls is a bit optimistic. But I have a feeling @joeykoins is gonna get lucky tonight.

Gees and I was a little irritated when my bank charged me 3.4% for a car loan. 11% is credit card territory if you're in good standing. The rates are low right now, might be worth it to you to look into.

JBK · September 1, 2020 8:41PM

I'll guess no silver dimes.

Coinstar rejects silver and I think some of the coin handlers also screen for silver.

Best chance for silver is CWRs (customer wrapped rolls).

joeykoins · September 1, 2020 9:11PM

I'll probably be more successful in higher graded coins,as well as, in varieties. More than silver

When does the search begin?? You have those rolls for 18 hours now.....Don't tell me you actually slept last night?? With rolls to search? Cheers, RickO

I searched a box ($500) of quarters yesterday. This is all I found worth keeping.

The credit card guys want 19%. You'd think with an 800+ credit score, these devils would cut some slack.
I meant to add "lol". Banks just have funny banking rules.

joeykoins · September 2, 2020 9:42AM

Quick Update;
Opened 15 rolls out of the 20 quickly just to check for Silver. So far, NOTHING. No Silver, like some of you guy's mentioned. Just two colored (Toned) coins and many newer dimes. Checking through them more thoroughly, will take over the weekend, another Update later... Thanks

joeykoins · September 2, 2020 6:07PM

2nd Update:
Opened the last five rolls, NO Silver!
Now, just hoping for any errors/varieties?
The one that predicted that I'd find one Silver dime (1963), you were one coin off. lol.

You can just glance at the edges to find silver, no need to weigh.

But to find gems and varieties among the clad dimes, one has to look at each one... closely.

Yep! 1000 quick glances. Actually, 2000, both sides! Lol.
But realistically, not going to check every one that precise.

Yep, one coin off, damn. Can't find them if you don't look I guess. At least I tried to throw some positivity out there. Get 'em next time Joey.

I have no idea what it is either. It's different so I'm keeping it. And it is in beautiful condition.

joeykoins · September 5, 2020 2:06PM

Yes, like I posted earlier, NO Silver! but nevertheless, some quite interesting ones found. Just from the first 5 rolls out of the 20. Coin #1. Here are two Roosies, dated 2018. Not old to say the least. for such a newer coin, the die cracks on these, seem a bit unusual, no?

Also, doesn't the top of the "2" in the date seem to have a split serif?

Coin #2.

Note; On this 2018, couldn't seem to find a split serif on this "2" in the date, like the other one?

Coin #3.

1999 Strike-Throughs?

Coin #4.

2013 A beaute for 7 yrs. In the wild.

Coin #5

A Toned
