How my 15 box order became 22

[yf30]

So I had 15 boxes all coming in Friday at 4 branches of the same bank. Due to timing constraints I was only able to visit one branch on Fri, (the rest agreed to hold the boxes for a couple days). I come in and ask for the 3 boxes of halves. THEYRE NOT THERE!!

I couldn't believe it. I was really looking forward to them. She said they'll be in on Tue. So I modified the order to four boxes and to make myself feel better called 2 branches of a different bank and ordered 3 boxes at each. They should be in Thu.

ummm, okay?

my bet: you dont get 22 boxes. some will forget to order. good luck on them. i SHOULD (key word) have 22 boxes coming in this thurs/fri. we shall see what i actually get. only got 22 one week thus far. usually in the 10-12 range

I probably would t have asked for another box on top of the 3 you already ordered from that bank, if their having trouble ordering those 3.

I agree. when my orders don't come in, the tellers never offer to order double the following week, just say, "OK, Thanks, see you next time" and walk out of the bank. Plus calling in the orders is less effective from my experience because when you order in person, the head teller generally remembers to place that order after you leave.

Yes, agreed. But I do have a branch that gets me x2 the norm when there is a mess up in the system.

Okay I just picked up the first 4 boxes. First disappointment: One box is unsealed full of rewrapped dumps. Down to 3. Will report later.

I would still unwrap the unsealed box. I had that happen not too long ago and still found 5 %40. Just like "Buy them all", I always check everything I get. Do what you want, but I have found quite a bit of silver in "dumps". Good luck with the rest of them.

The second box, although sealed, seemed to be previously searched. The ends were crimped but looked like they were previously opened. Anyway I search the box halfheartedly and on the LAST roll I find a 1967.

Also found a dirty 2010 'S' with a shiny finish.What's that about?

The third box was sealed well with no signs of tampering but it failed to yield anything.

I took your advice and searched it. SKUNK.

Results from the fourth box yielded a 1967 and a 1968. So if I don't count the first box which was a straight dump, I average 1 per box. Not bad.

Another 4-8 boxes coming tomorrow, depending on the laziness of the tellers. Never ordered from those branches before. Hope for a good score.

And the lazy tellers strike again! One branch says tomorrow instead of last Fri.

I did pick up the second batch of four boxes. First one yielded 5 40% and one Ben, YAY!. Second box SKUNK.

Gonna search the other 2 tonight. Another 8 boxes coming tomorrow if all works out.

Good finds. Congrats. I got 22 coming thurs and fri, but I am in the midst of skunksville pallets (last friday's 12 had 11 skunks and 1 box with 2 bens and a 40% er... bruuuuutal). If youre going thru hell, keep on going!

Good luck on the other boxes. Let us know how you do!

Same here. In fact, I have built up my relationship with my order banks to the point where they apologize to me if they forget to order or if there is some sort of mix up with my boxes. It's nice but it has take a long time to get to that point. Sounds like you are well on your way Omega to establishing the same type of courteous, productive relationships with your pick up banks. Good for you
