Wow, that second box was really sweet Miser-stro! Bet it didn't take long to sort that third box. If you end up getting a couple more of those shiny boxes I might be interested in swapping some D mint boxes for P mint boxes.
Coin buying report for today:
1 shiny new box of nickels
1 box BWR pennies |

| Yeah really! I can't decide which bank to go back to first. I got boxes 1,2 from one office, and box 3 from a different office of the same bank. I have a good feeling that both banks have more of the same....high-percentage copper, and lots of New Unc. Zinc!! We shall see, I need more capital first. It was fun, the 46% box was full of Very OLD coin wrappers, looks like it came out of grandma's closet!! |

Go back to the first branch.. Grandma might have deposited more than 1 box. You should also ask if they have nickels, dimes, quarters and halves for you to go through.. Grandma might have deposited some silver coins. |

I got tired of twisting and bending those plastic tubes till I got a cheapo box opener. One swipe of the blade going the long way and the tube will just pop open.
Miss the tube and your hand just pops open.
Haven't done that yet. |
