Was hopeful this week as my business activities were taking me to a few other cities. Managed to get a few silver halves on Monday and Tuesday.
On Wednesday I was able to hit banks I'd never been to. At one bank as the teller was handing out 19 rolls to me when she stopped and whispered something into a coworker's ear. She had read "68-69 keep" on the side of one of the rolls. Well I wasn't about to get cheated like I had been two weeks prior (four Peace dollars) and I told her that I knew very well what those words meant. She just mumbled "oh well" and completed the transaction. That lot actually contained two dream rolls of 40% halves. I also scored a near dream roll (14 40's) and several more 40's at another bank as well.
On Thursday I managed to buy over 50 rolls in a new area in less that a half hour. However, nearly all were skunks. I managed a few 40's, an Abe Lincoln token and a cool Australian half dollar (.811 silver).
Friday proved to be the best day of the week. The first shotgun wrapped dime roll I opened contained two Rosies. I bought 42 hand rolls of halves of which four were dream rolls of 40's. I also scored two proof Ikes, a really sweet 1968 proof (40%), 1977 clad proof, 1971 Peso, a few NIFC halves, several pre-1960 nickels, 1944 Mercury, 1942s war nickel and a few foreign dimes. Later that day I hit another bank and two out of the five rolls I bought were dream rolls of 40's (most were BU).
Overall, this was probably the second best week at CRH I have ever had. (see pic below)
