Pix to follow...
$300 in halves from a road trip, but the two attractive female tellers won't let me have them unless I take the 2 Ikes and 13 - $2 bills. One says that there are no loose halves, besides, she pulls all the "coins from the 60's" - ouch, twist my arm....
So, one hour and a speeding ticket later
, I get home.
1 - '68 early in the rolls and then I get over $200 in before I find anything else.
Open one new looking roll and dump the coins in my hand - ah... the unmistakable sound of 19 silver and 1 clad...
The last coin (on top) was a 1999 clad and all the rest of the rims were bright...
The bottom coin is a BU 1955! Then each coin is in chronological order, by mint all the way up to a BU 1963.
So, I look in the remaining rolls for one similar - it HAS to be a full run, right?
Bingo! Found it! Solid Franklins!
48, 48D, all the way through 54, 54D and 54S!
That makes almost a complete Franklin set - only a couple missing - Wow!
