Thursday Dimes and Half Dollars
Last week I talked to my Thursday Credit Union Coin counter branch about their half dollars. She said there are quite a few in there, but it'll still be a while before it fills up. I asked her if I could fill it up and buy it...taking all the halves to my usual dump bank. She said "lemme think about it...yes!". My response was "Can you order me some halves for next week?"
The halves came in today. I picked them up at lunch along with my weekly $500 in dimes. Today is my birthday so I decided "Maybe the silver gods will shine upon me today" so I went through the box real quick with an edge check before work and by happenstance found a golden toned 1964 JFK when it fell out of a roll and I heard the classic ringing sound when it hit the floor.

Re: Thursday Dimes and Half Dollars
Your area is dry on halves but definitely not on dimes. You have a much better average than me out here.
