Today's Hunt & Meeting CRH'r in action :0)
On my lunch hour I decided to hit few banks downtown here. There are probably 20 within a mile or so.
The first three banks had nil....nattah!
So I moved on to the fourth. The teller says how weird...you are like the 5th person who has come in here looking today and then went on to say that the 1st guy left with $690.00+ worth of halves! All I could think was missed it by an inch. She then asked me what I did with them? Was I looking for older coins? I told her no not really, but if they were there it would be a treat...that I was a collector looking for certain numbers. Now get this...she then said "Oh, that's good because i went through them all and already took out the silver ones"! I didn't feel so bad after that comment.
So then I get to the 5th bank. As I am standing in line I notice this guy whispering to the teller. I got really nervous when I saw that he also had a little dolly with him covered in cardboard. So basically I walked up behind him and asked him if he was getting half dollars and of course he said yes. He said the bank ordered them for him and he would get all that they had on hand. I was like...DANG! Again... I asked him if he had been to that other bank this morning and he said no he was going there next...I told him don't bother, someone has cleaned them out. So now I know there are at least two others here doing what I am trying to do with CRH.
Anyways I move on to the last bank before my workplace and ask them...They have $300.00 worth of halves, but no Ikes! All I had was $190.00 on me so I got that many with the plan of coming back Monday for the rest (if they are still there).
I'll post what I find or don't.
Here is what I found: SKUNKED I believe the word is :0(
Well no silver but i did get this:
1x 2007P
1x 2007D
1x 2006P
1x 2004D
and three oddly gold colored IKEs at 1977, 1979D, and 1981D...almost as dark as a Sacagewea dollar.
Maybe next time...
