nice haul at bank today

I usually pick up ten rolls of cents everytime I go to the bank and search for coppers and wheaties.
today I pick up ten rolls and eight of the ten rolls are pure wheatsimage
so I run back to the bank and ask for the same wrapped rolls that I had recieved earlier.
long story short 96 rolls of wheats for face...the teller said they were all brought in by the same man.
don't know if these have been searched, any nice finds I will post later...

    I would have asked if he brought in any dimes, quarters, or halves. image

    Have fun with your wheaties!

    Cool! Eight out of ten rolls? Wow.

    I hit a small vein of solid wheat rolls from a bank once but there were only three rolls.

    Edit- I just read the part about 96 rolls. Wow. That qualifies for a "you suck", by my standards.

    My educated guess is someone else got 4 rolls, to make an even 5,000 coin bag.

    Nice score.

    A couple years ago I picked up a $25 brick at the local bank that was wheaties...except 2-6 rolls that were gem '60 and '60d's. image

    Was this guy like five foot nothing, 126 pounds with a white beard? If so, thats my grandpa and he got into my stash.... I swear there's nothing good in those rolls and I'll pay you 1.5 x face and shipping if you send them back to me image

  • IMO, I agree with lordmarcovan for a qualifying "you suck" indeed. A great pick up, and I'm definitely looking forward to hearing the results. image
  • Weather11amWeather11am Posts: 2,064 ✭✭✭
    Yeah, what about the other denominations the guy brought in?!
  • fcfc Posts: 12,793 ✭✭✭
    I imagine if I rolled up my junk box of wheat cents i could easily come up with a dozen
    or so rolls.

    Therefore I imagine an "old timer" could probably easily do a lot more then that
    if they saved for 20 years.

    With that said.. i wonder if there are any BU coins in the mix or better dates but
    somehow I think there isn't and they probably were just rolled up and returned to the bank because
    it was too much of a hassle to try to sell them for more then face?

    update us ;-)

    keep us updated! I hope the person didn't put a coin in the front and back as wheaties but the inside is regular pennies.

    Why would some people turn them in after taking that much time to roll them up? Weird! Maybe the family did it?

    Likely the grandchildren looking for some mad money.

    Grandpa would be happy to see it go to someone who can appreciate it.

    Sometimes, people just save cents... and eventually cash them in. Not all are coin collectors. Cheers, RickO

    Nice haul!

    I turned in about $600 in change last year, the only thing I looked for was silver, everything else got wrapped, and there were probably a couple rolls of wheats total spread around in it. No patience for pennies.

    So....what did all those rolls contain?

    anything "good" or just 40s and 50s coins?
  • InYHWHWeTrustInYHWHWeTrust Posts: 1,451 ✭✭✭
    Primus s*cks, ....but you don't... yet, unless one of those rolls is 14d's image
    Do your best to avoid circular arguments, as it will help you reason better, because better reasoning is often a result of avoiding circular arguments.

    sorry,been working my butt off.went through about half and my take on this score
    is that they have been gone through (so,so).when I finish I will post some pic's.
    yes, my eyes are tired and sometimes this feels like a chore but when I come
    across an early date it's worth it.dates found so far are:
    1911
    1916
    1916d
    1917
    1918
    1919
    1919s
    1920
    1923
    1924
    1925
    1926
    1927
    1928
    1929
    1930
    1930d
    1931
    1934, all range from G to VF
    and of course the rest are common with various mintmarks...
