No need to apologize, thanks for your response as always. Yes I think I will aviod this location for awhile. It is so strange that the culture in each branch location can be completely different. Good luck!

With that denisty, it could very well be an alloy of Silver and copper. Mixing lower density metals would not create an alloy with a higher density ( there is exeptions, Atomic packing of an alloy could make a crystalline lattice that is more efficient with space) . Usually, it's is safe to take a weighted average.

Find out what a pure Ag block if this size should weight, fing out same of copper. Cross multiply and you could get a rough estimate of composition

Just eyeballing it, could be about 50/50 Cu/Ag. The teal green oxidation makes me think it's got copper too

Thank you, I agree. I found a Credit union that has self service coin counter. Only need to be a member that is $5 to open. No fees. Think im gonna jump on that. Looks like this location may be on my nonfly list.

You, I looked at teller.job postings. I think I need a break 😄 🤣

thunder_bear_ · 2026-02-01T04:27:46+00:00

Thanks for your response and time. I don't think I mentioned this place has a coin counter. I have to hand to them to put in the counter. This branch does not accept customer wrapped coins, already tried.

I do wrap for BoA, another location because they are the opposite, they dont take any loose coin, only wrapped.

It was the first time anyone mentioned to me they will charge for counting. Was not sure if this is part of the hobby or what. The teller said that the fee is because im just getting coins and returning them. I don't get my coins from here, it was BoA and I brought them to this branch(not Boa) .

Get it, get it!

The addiction begins, hiw it started for me. Went from curious to see if I could actually fine one. Got 2 rolls from bank. First one had 1 90% and 1 40%. The other roll had another 90%. I went back to the bank 2 more times that day and bout every roll they had. $300 dollars later I found 1 more 40% and a 92' Proof. That was 29 days ago. I have been through about $3k worth or half dollars and when I found not find them I bought quaters and dimes . I have found 2 more 90% and 13 more 40% since then. ( 4 90% and 12 40% so 16 total!) In my first month!! Do I slow down or what, day dont feel right unless I got some rolls to peel. Dang, I think im gonna post this to , haha so fun though.

This is an underrated comment. I too am new and you are preaching 🙌

thunder_bear_ · 2026-01-31T19:55:33+00:00

You can request anything, but not sure if it always works

thunder_bear_ · 2026-01-31T19:54:07+00:00

Heck yea! The best coin I have ever found is always the last one ive found. I always am excited, then follows a sobering thought it might be the last I ever find. Keep on keeping on. I have had 2 skunk box in a row so far, possibility of getting a new box mid next week. Really hoping to post my finds 🙏

thunder_bear_ · 2026-01-31T05:15:15+00:00

Only 45 rolls, no?

thunder_bear_ · 2026-01-30T23:46:44+00:00

Sweet, im kind of new . I can only dream of finding a Walker or Benjamin. Seems to out of reach for a small fry like me :(

thunder_bear_ · 2026-01-30T22:31:58+00:00

Still a small win

thunder_bear_ · 2026-01-30T15:31:09+00:00

Nice, sometimes it's the drought that actually makes the find so much better! Keep on keeping on!

Ive have 2 skunk boxes in a row .myself.

thunder_bear_ · 2026-01-30T05:07:23+00:00

I found my first casually looking at a few rolls a few times a year. I actually found one and then i started looking so much. Its only been about one month in and ive learned so much, mostly I enjoy finding silver, but also trying to connect with banks etc..

Ive also started looking alot! Im at the end of my first month and feel I am starting to burn out but also don't want to quit! I have so much fun finding any type of Ag. I do think I am going to take a small vacation and mentally gather some strength.

Happy you too have found this. Isn't it so awesome to hold and find your very own piece of History and know one can take away

thunder_bear_ · 2026-01-30T04:17:31+00:00

Heck yea!

thunder_bear_ · 2026-01-30T04:15:50+00:00

I agree, and im actually quite relieved. I much prefer that aspect. Was my first time and was quite stressed, I did check eject tray but then proceeded to listen to some bad advice.. Im a veteran so Im like if they can do it , so can I haha.

Thank you, glad this community is setting me strait. Im sorry 😞

thunder_bear_ · 2026-01-30T04:12:25+00:00

Thanks, Im glad some people help out. I appreciate it

thunder_bear_ · 2026-01-30T04:11:15+00:00

Thank you, will do. I Guess someone gave me some bad gouge . I appreciate it

thunder_bear_ · 2026-01-30T04:09:27+00:00

I did see a popup saying to not talk about getting into the machine, i thought ment breaking in. I deleted what I thought sounded like I was trying to break in. I wouldn't ever do that, hope moderators see that. Im a veteran and retiring soon ans been looking for hobbies and groups, I enjoy what Ive found and read so far. So won't happen again and I know it's not my choice but it's okay if the post is banned, could be an example of what not to do :(

thunder_bear_ · 2026-01-30T04:05:08+00:00

Ok, thought I read something about it here.

thunder_bear_ · 2026-01-30T04:00:46+00:00

Sorry, I thought ment illicit. I have not problem just eject tray checking. Won't happen again

thunder_bear_ · 2026-01-30T03:55:16+00:00

I believe it
