Today's Mini Half Hunt Meets the Bad Cherry Picker!
So I went on a little hunt on my lunch break today. Was only able to get to 5 banks total in about 30 minutes. First 4 banks had nothing, though the Provident did say they get them in somewhat frequently but someone just got them yesterday! Teller gave me the phone number and said to call and they’ll let me know if they have any.
Bank 5 was funny. Found myself a cherry picking teller! I walked into a Chase and asked if they had any halves. The teller pulls out a little ziplock bag of $18 worth of halves (1 roll and a bunch loose) in addition to about $10 in IKE dollars. Then she says that she already told someone else that she had them and was holding them for this person. I inquisitively said “first come first serve?” To which she thought for a second then asked how many I wanted, to which I of course asked for all of them. She said well what if we split it? I then did something I don’t normally do and asked if I could just pick some out, but she didn’t like that idea…
Sooo me being SUCH a nice guy said, well what if I just take the halves and leave the dollars for the other guy. She said that sounds fair and started to count me out the halves. She then starts saying that they’re all clad anyway because she’d have taken them if they were silver! I just smiled while looking at the silver in the bag! I walked out with 17 40% and 2 90%. She apparently thought that all JFK halves were clad! That bag with no silver in it wound up being 1 coin short of being 50% silver!
Makes me wonder how many Walkers and Franklins she’s hoarding!
Between this and yesterday’s box… I’m on a bit of a lucky streak!
