I seriously did not think that this would happen to me.
I had a Dr Appt today, and as usual when I go to that medical center, I stopped by the tiny branch of my bank that is located inside of a grocery store to ask for halves. I usually get a few dollars worth there once or twice a month. This time only one teller had halves, and it was a full $10 roll. I asked her if there were any more in the vault and she replied no. The branch manager overheard her and told her that there ARE halves in the vault. She said there is a full box of halves behind some other boxes. She said that a lady customer had bought them from QVC, and ended up cashing them in unopened. She said they had been in the vault for 5 years and nobody had ever asked for a full box. I inquired if I could buy some, she said I would have to take the whole box. I said YES! She rummaged around in the vault for a while, then popped out with one of those small 2 layer X 25 roll $500 halves boxes. She insisted on cutting open the end of the box to make sure all the rolls were there. She handed me a roll to look at, and I see a mint state 1951 Ben ender! I tried to hide my excitement as best as I could as I carried the box to the car. I was so excited, I completely forgot to do my grocery shopping.
On the way home, I stopped by the hotel where I often use the broadband wifi, and I cut the tape she taped the box closed with. I pulled out the top 10 rolls on that end for a quick look at the enders. I see 3 rolls with Ben enders 1951/1954/1958, one roll with a 1952 George W. Carver/Booker T. Washington Commemorative ender, and one roll with a 1968 Ken ender. I put the rolls back in the box and drove home as quick as I dared. Once home, I paused long enough to type this before I start enjoying some silver half porn. This should be GOOD
