I do small amounts of coin roll hunting, usually when the bank has a few rolls of halves laying around. My dump bank is my local TD Bank with a free coin counter. Problem is their machines are notorious for miscounts. In fact, I count my halves before placing them into the machine and 100% of the time I am shorted anywhere from $1.00 up to $5.00 depending on how many I dump. It then requires to get a manager over to open the machine and find the missing coins. And on more than one occasion, it still shorts me because I believe the coin(s) made into the bag without counting.
Those that buy large amounts of halves, are you concerned about getting shorted? Do you know if your machine have the potential to short you or not? That has been the one thing that keeps me from buying boxes of halves. While you are gaining value for any silver you find, you will lose money from faulty machines. I can't imagine that there are too many manufacturers of commercial coin counting machines so I wonder if the same brand in TD Bank are in other banks as well. Thoughts?
