"One of them is kind of old... 1958" ; "Well... I'll take that one, too."
Last Saturday I got a 1963 Ben Franklin Half from Bank of America. I went back today. I asked a young teller if she, or any of the other tellers might have any half-dollar coins. She said she would check. She walked down the line of tellers speaking briefly with each of them. She returned and said, "We have only $3 in halves." I said, "Yes, I'd like to have them. Thank You." She went back to get them from the teller who had them and I saw she was looking at the coins as she walked back to me. She almost apologetically said, "One of them is kind of old... 1958." I said, "Well... I'll take that one, too. Thank You." When outside the bank I looked at the six coins; I found a 1967 Kennedy half as well!
Incidentally, the Franklin half from last week and the one today both have what looks like dried glue on the reverse. So I suspect they both came from the same customer. I will try again next Saturday as well.
I used to keep count of how many squirrels I got each season. Now I count coins. And I have 59 silver halves now to my credit. I would never have learned about this hobby if it were not for this site. Thank you to everyone on this message board.
