Today at Wells Fargo:
Teller: Hi! You still looking for old coins?
Me: Sure! What ya got?
Teller: Old customer just brought in about 20 rolls of pennies.
Me: I'll take them!
20 rolls, from 1944 up to 1953. All appear to be unmolested BU bank wrapped rolls.
What would you do? Bust them open and look for gems? Ebay auction with the title, " L@@K! Unsearched Wheat Hoard!!!!". Sell them as they are?
Here's a pic of a couple of 10 from a 46 P roll. How do they look? Any grade guesses?

Nice Score !
<< <i>You should track down the customer who turned them in and offer FMV for them. After all, everyone makes mistakes, and it's an awful, awful thing for you to take advantage of a nice old person.
Was it someone here? If it was, let me know and I'll send you a check...

Crack them out, keep the keepers, and send the "less impressive" examples to me

It's a zero sum game. For every "score", someone is getting hosed.
<< <i>I'm confused. Do these bank tellers not understand the value of older coins? Why do they just give them out like that. They should buy them themselves for face value. >>
This particular teller knows I'll take care of her...

ain't that TFB?
Definately bust them up and send in anything worth more than slab fees. You have the potential for making 50X+ your cost. And if you get any MS67's it's a lotto winner!
Frustrating.
<< <i>SG only opened this thread because he thought that you scored in a bank.
I must admit that I was thinking "Desperate Housewives" when I read the title.

As it would be if a family member needed some quick cash and sold one of your Saints for bullion.
44 zinc maybe ??

Seriously, great score and I would have busted those out in the car before I even got home!

I also bank at Wells Fargo.
They hold stuff for me all of the time.
This proves it is good that the tellers and managers know you want coins.
It is just great customer relations.
Congrads!

Double damn!!!
I should talk to my bank manager and see if they have any "stuff". They see me enough the "Bill-the-neurotic-middle-aged-man" checking his contents of his SBD weekly....for milk spots. just kinda hard to look thru the food saver bags....
Congrats
I have two similar stories...
My sister-in-law is a bank teller. One day, and older gent walks in with a jar of dimes to cash in. The teller he went to saw that they were silver and suggested he go to a coin shop. He just wanted the cash, so he took is $27 in bills and left. The teller who took the coins was not interested in them, so my sister-in-law snatched them up. Turns out, they'd been in that jar for a long time. There were a few Barbers, 100+ Mercs, and the rest were mostly AU/BU "S" mint dimes from 1946 through 1952, with nothing newer than 1952. A nice buy for $27.
My aunt worked as a teller in a Seattle bank back in the 80's. One day, a guy came in and bought a few rolls of 50c pieces. A little while later, he came back with more cash -- and bought more rolls from my aunt. A short time later, he came back with even more cash -- waited to be served by my aunt -- and wanted to buy all of her 25c, 50c, and dollar rolls. But he should have left well-enough alone, because the bank got wise and check the rolls. Turns out, many of them were cashed in by a thief from a local coin store robbery. The rolls were mostly BU walking liberty halfs, franklins, Morgans, etc. The man had to give his name to the bank and he eventually had to return all the previously stolen rolls he'd bought.

When will you realize some folks just don't want to be educated. Go teach some college courses if you want reinforcement of that principal.

Nice haul. And search and submit, one of the ones you show is as nice as my PCGS MS67.

Did you know that you and your bank teller friend are committing bank/compnany fraud? There is a company that is hired by certain banks to collect old coins for possible metals value and other coins for stock holders year end auction sales. I would be very careful in obtaining property that belongs to someone before making a quick buck for yourself.
I know this first hand as a ex retail store manager of a grocery chain here in the state of Maryland. I once came across 3 $1,000.00 bills back in 1982 and bought them after my shift. As I thought I could exchange currency for currrency at the level of my title, I was called back into my office by my supervisor and was told I had two choices return the bills I bought/swapped or get a 2 week suspension without pay. And on my suspension a written reason on my record.
I later contested the whole mess that had happened in front of me and found out that crisp unc $1,000.00 carry a huge premium and the owner told me that his foundation had a deal with a coin dealer here in the Washington Dc area to buy all old coins, all scarce notes and errors to boot. So I gave back the notes and got my money back. A month later the owner sent me a $500 store coupon for my honesty and told me that his foundation recieved over $10,000 for the 3 notes in question at a silent auction. They were dated in the 1928 if I recalled and were in bu+ condition.
So be careful Johnny is always looking for his cut.
