My 2014 Totals

[coinman123]

2014 was my first year CRH for silver. It was a pretty good one too IMO. I started the year with all dimes and ended doing halves and dimes.

Silver dimes: 130 during Mid-December, around 140 now.

Silver quarters: (all bank teller finds) 2, 1935d, and 1964p (one 1964d in pocket change)

90% Silver halves: 36 90% silvers (32 are from Back in September a cashier at the supermarket had 32 Walking Liberty halves in her tray (which I all bought) so you will see a lot of them in the photo)

40% silver halves: 15 in mid December, a total of around 20 later on.

Layered photo: halves on top, dimes on the bottom, the two quarters in the middle.

Holders make it look like there are more coins than there is.

Total number of silver coins: 200, around $40 face.

I also found 250+ UNC 1963 Canada cents in a machine rolled box, I have no clue why?

Don't walk in ANYWHERE, store, bank or whatever, asking for "old coins". Well I guess you can, but that's not how it's done. We ask for rolls or boxes and search those.
I suggest you read the beginner's guide at the top of the forum. You're asking alot of questions, most of which can be answered there.

Yea! I did read it and it said the best way is to ask for older coins. I ask for rolls and large dollar too obviously.... But it definitely did say to ask for older coins

What page was that on? Seriously it said to ask for large dollars and to search the other denominations for older coins.

Scroll to the gold coin section Nov 9, 2007 "When at the bank asking for any gold coins may get you many various responses. Most tellers will say that they have the gold dollars... sacagaweas or presidentials. This is not the right way to ask. From my experience I have found that it is far better to say "Have you seen any older coins (or ecurrency) come through the bank lately". The teller may say no, yes, or maybe and then go and check the vault or the teller tray."

That applies only to gold coins. You've got about a snowballs chance in you know where in finding one, but that is to differentiation between the modern gold colored coins and real gold. That statement doesn't apply to hunting for silver. After all, you don't want to tip the tellers off to the value of older coins.

I mean I guess so but asking for older coins is what is going to get me 2 V nickels, 1 merc, a silver certificate, and some other interesting things I don't know.... So I guess it worked that one time but your saying dont ask for older coins? Just rolls and large dollars
