bobbycoin Posted August 3, 2005 Report Share Posted August 3, 2005 Several times I have noticed members saying they have a 'connection' at a place of business or bank. Did you (or any of our members) make your connection through an existing friend or did you work up the nerve to make a connection with a total stranger? I don't know anybody who handles lots of coins who doesn't already save them theirselves. Does anyone have ideas on making new connections and which ones seem to be the best? A great question requiring its own post. -Bobby Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jtryka Posted August 3, 2005 Report Share Posted August 3, 2005 I had a connection at a local bank in Jersey City about 10 years ago, and I just kept going in and asking her for $200 in halves and after about the 3rd time she just told me she'd save all the halves for me and I could just come once a month and pick them up. Lots of Franklins, 90% and 40% Kennedys on that one, the only thing she wouldn't give up was one walker that she got in that she gave to her son. Can't argue with that!

Capt-AWACS Posted August 4, 2005 Report Share Posted August 4, 2005 Checked a favourite coin-star machine and found a 1943 steel cent. A little rust, but okay. I'll try and pass it off as a dime, as that is about what it is worth :-) Ciao, and Hook 'em Horns, Capt-AWACS, All red heads are nuts Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scottishmoney Posted August 5, 2005 Report Share Posted August 5, 2005 1944 - P Silver War Nickel, well worn, about a VG or so, but still any silver in change is a nice thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sir Sisu Posted August 8, 2005 Report Share Posted August 8, 2005 Another one of the low mintage Finn €uros: 2003 €0.50! Also a 2003 Greece €1. It has numerous errors on it; some of the incuse portions have been filled. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SSGBrian Posted August 8, 2005 Report Share Posted August 8, 2005 I received a 1963 Silver Roosevelt Dime in my change recently. When the cashier handed me my change, I knew it was a silver dime just by the sound. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

daggit Posted August 12, 2005 Report Share Posted August 12, 2005 RB '58D wheatie, 42S silver nickel. Someone's been depositing some old stuff. I agree, I got a 1953 and 1956 wheatie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SilverDollarMan Posted August 12, 2005 Report Share Posted August 12, 2005 I got a 1946 Jeffy today from Arby's, I didn't have my reading glasses but the tone made me think it was a war nickel but I was close. hehe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
syzygy Posted August 14, 2005 Report Share Posted August 14, 2005 The pickings for me have been very slim lately with only a single 1945 wheatie to my credit. But, it pays to make sure everyone at work knows I collect coins ... One of my techs got this in change and saved it for me! What a great snag.

Grifter Posted August 15, 2005 Author Report Share Posted August 15, 2005 Hey everyone, I just got back from my trip back to the east coast. I was back visiting family. Anyways, I stayed a my Grandpa's house for a while and he gave me a bunch of wheaties, steel cents, some silver certificates, and a big dollar bill. I also found some P buffalo nickels in good shape, so I didn't make out too bad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
