Pickings have been a little thin the past few weeks. Only got a few out of teller trays. Today I got a call from a teller friend who got in a box of halves from the fed. She said I could have 10 rolls as she had to save some for others. That's okay because I don't do boxes anyway as you all know. Got one ender that turned out to be a nice 1968 Kennedy. Also got a 1776-1976-S Clad proof and a 1987-P (key date). Both in very nice condition. Nothing else in the rolls. Gave me a good feeling, so decided to stop at a few banks in that area. Stopped at a BOA that I go to about once a month. Very nice teller there that remembers me when I come in. She knows I'm a collector. She smiled and said she had one roll and $6.50 loose of halves. When she handed me the roll I noticed the ends were scotch taped and the word "silver" written across the roll. I figured it may be another CRHer playing a game so wasn't too excited. The loose $6.50 were in one of those little bank envelopes. Anyway, thanked her and chattered with her for a few minutes then left. Stopped at the McDonalds for coffee, but before getting out of the car, I checked the envelope and heard the distinct
tingle of silver as they poured into my hand. A Couple were clad, but the rest silver (1) 1964...(1) 1965....(5) 1968....and (2) 1969. Then I stared at the roll and thought, "Nah...couldn't be! But then I remember how my grandmother and other older people always used to scotch tape the ends so "not a single one would ever fall out". Well, out they came and the whole roll was in fact silver (7) 1964....(1) 1965....(3) 1967...(3) 1968...(4) 1969 and (2) Ben Franklins...1958-D and 1961-D.
Ahhhhh! The snow is gone, Spring is here....and SILVER is back in the wild! I hope the pics come through okay. Took them with my cell phone which isn't the best.
