some cent MWR and CWR...

[kvilleification]

So, I updated my route today. Instead of going to only 2 pickup banks (pitiful, I know) and get 4 boxes, I went to 4 TD's and got 8 boxes. On the way from bank to bank, I stopped in some other banks on the way there. I could have stopped for a lot others, but I couldn't find parking (or driving around for 10 minutes to find a spot, not worth it). So I went to 2 branches of my local bank and got some CWR's, and stopped at a Chase which also had CWR's. Anyway to the point of the story: I'm sitting at a red light going home from the last TD I went to and notice a BOA on the corner. There's a spot right in front of the place, so I parked and went in. Asked for 6 rolls of pennies (only had 3 singles left in my pocket. I got hungry on the way, lol) She goes underneath the counter and gives me 6 MWR's. I asked if she had any CWR's, but she said that she only has the "ones from the boxes". So I take them and go home.

I get home and start cracking into the CWR's and they are awesome. Mostly copper, and one roll had 20+ wheats in it. Total I got 31 wheats out of 18 CWR's. Now I'm excited so I crack into the BOA rolls and quickly realize that they are ALL zinc . Not even solid 2011's or something. They were all late 80's early 90's with 2000's mixed in. Almost like someone went through them. Weird because they were MWR's and not CWR's. I guess their "stash" of cents in garda's warehouse is all zinc, whereas TD's is full of gold (wheats, i mean )

Moral of the story: Stay FAR away from BOA. TD has been good to me. Hopefully this will stay this way for a while.

Just curious on your opinion of BOA. Good? Bad?

Found a 1907 IH and average copper/wheats from my last BofA box.

A box of coins can be The Good, The Bad and The Ugly. Keep sorting it is all random. There is a reason we have Dream boxes and the ones we call Skunk.
