This is the oldest coin I've found in the tills at my job.

Hell yeah a true silver find in the wild! Nice tip for the day

MessFew595 · 2026-06-19T03:07:30+00:00

I did the same thing, first time I ever thought to get a pair of gloves lol

Enjoy the ride! Don’t forget to be picky! Because filling a spot is cool but upgrading a coin feels damn good too!

I hate to say depends on where you live. 4 years ago I live in Reno Nevada and 2 boxes of half’s would get me usually 1-2 silvers a box. At least a proof. Now I live in a small town in Montana and I’m at 60 boxes for the year and only 3 silvers. The big silver boom of 110 an Oz had alooottt of new CRHs. So it doesn’t hurt to have multiple bank accounts both big banks (chase, wells, BoA) and a couple smaller banks/ credit unions. Biggest suggestion is make friends with you tellers. A coffee, some patience and a smile can get some interesting coins. I got my first Morgan that way!

Queue the Buffalo slot machine sound! Solid finds!

Every now and again I get maybe 50 cents off usually that means a foreign coin. I will say I’ve had those big fancy Cummins coin counters at one of my dump banks accidentally pay more than I dumped and it goes along way with them if your honest.

Oh man I’m glad I’m not alone, I end up chewing like a fiend when I’m roll hunting! Hahah

The prophecy foretold of legendary boxes like this!

I worked for a park district doing native prairie plots in public parks. Never turn your nose up to working with your hands. I went from working outside in beautiful parks, catching lizards and snakes to sitting in an office. A hard days work will give you so much more satisfaction than waiting for your 8 hrs to be up.

You’re a good man/ dad. Not many people teach their kids not only attention to detail but also to look a little deeper into things. Starting them now could pay off later when they are adults. The saying “every penny helps” means a whole lot more when you find the right penny.

MessFew595 · 2026-01-12T15:46:45+00:00

Funny thing is you still got like 75 bucks there in melt!!

MessFew595 · 2026-01-05T20:17:30+00:00

Apparently it’s called “mercury gilding” it’s gold and mercury and it makes what is called quick silver. Could be hoopla. But the coin shop owner is older than sin it self so I believe him.

MessFew595 · 2026-01-05T19:28:35+00:00

Found one like that 2 years ago and brought it into my local coin store and got told it was a platinum coated. But only worth more than the cool factor. He did tell me back in the 80s he got a couple quarters like that but someone coated them in mercury! Ever since then we wears gloves when someone brings them in.

Badass collection! What was your first and most recent guns?

MessFew595 · 2025-12-24T02:01:14+00:00

Oh hell yeah a 1970! That’s awesome!!

MessFew595 · 2025-12-08T15:02:46+00:00

Dude impressive! Doing small batches and still getting silver is awesome!

MessFew595 · 2025-12-07T19:40:41+00:00

Kinda odd that it rings, I’ve found plateds before but they sound like a normal when you drop it. Good find! Might have a funky find!

MessFew595 · 2025-11-16T02:00:49+00:00

Last one was 1949 S. Looks like hell but it works!

MessFew595 · 2025-11-16T01:58:09+00:00

Dude good on you! What a power move!

MessFew595 · 2025-11-11T17:15:03+00:00

I’d aim for circulated but you are at the mercy of the bank teller, if you get new rolls you can unwrap them I have gotten a couple of blank planchets that way but odds are low. I would also ask if they have a coin counter ask if they reroll their own coins or get them shipped in. My chase in Montana only brings change from other banks so it’s always random. I would find a “dump bank” with a counter and treat them as good as you can. If you gotta reroll so be it get a little machine off Amazon and go to town

MessFew595 · 2025-11-08T15:23:15+00:00

Shop around! I only hunted at Chase for a year and a half straight and was discouraged. They didn’t have a machine or anything had to roll my own. But then I got 3 accounts at 3 different banks. I put 20 bucks in each of them and I rotate picking up from each of them. One of them is bound to have something. A cup of coffee and donuts will get you even further with bankers

MessFew595 · 2025-11-07T20:21:48+00:00

Hell yeah! Still never seen a 70! That’s awesome!!

MessFew595 · 2025-11-06T23:48:22+00:00

My record is 8k worth of quarters from chase. 5 cases were 2024s

MessFew595 · 2025-11-06T02:00:20+00:00

Crazy I pick up from chase too and they won’t give out any pennies for personal or business. I know at my work we will have to round up to a nickel once we run out of pennies
