Best CWR find so far

[kawika18]

So last Thursday I stop in at bank I've never got coins from before and ask if they have any pennies and halves I could buy. The teller says she has no halves but asks if I would like $50 dollar bag of pennies that a "little old man" brought in. I say sure. I'm hopping "little old man" means a lot of wheats. I'm still working on that bag and only found 2 wheats so far. However there is a high % of copper in this bag. On Friday I decide to stop by again to see if they had any other coins from this guy and she gives me 5 rolls of nickels and 6 rolls of dimes. Not much in the nickels, but the dimes....It might not be as nice a find as some of you have had, but 15 silver dimes from 6 CWR I thought was pretty awesome.

That is more silver in 6 rolls than I found in my last 20 (yes, 20!) boxes.

that's a killer find. I've gone through 3-4k of CWR dimes in the last two months and have probably found like 8 silver dimes

Thanks everybody. I just wish I would have thought to ask for more rolls the first time I was in there. Who knows how many more there might have been. Might have been some silver quarters to be found as well.

those were some really great dime rolls

btw, any mercs?

 

[kawika18]

No Mercs. All Rosies. There was eight 64's, four 62's, one 57 and two 52's.
