Received a call from a branch of a bank I have accounts with, saying they heard from a manager of another branch that I buy halves. The manager of this branch said the bag on their machine recently filled and she said I could have dibs buying it before she shipped it out. The branch is 40 min away, so I was hesitant to go out that way to get it, the manager said "sir, you really should come out for this bag of coin." Interesting...

So, I cancel my office hours and drive out there. Long story short, the freakin bag is loaded. Driving back to town I took a few handfuls and each time I saw 2-3 90% rims along with some 40%. I dumped the coin in a plastic bin and took the pic below, hard to tell but there are a bunch of 64s sitting on the top, along with a WL and some 40%. Ill update the post with a total, Im hoping for $50 face in 90%, that would be cool. HH everyone!

I'm surprised they don't buy it themselves sometimes.

Compared to most of the boxes I have been getting lately I would be happy with what I see laying on the top of that picture.

Looks like a great find!!!

I asked about this, she said they dont allow it, especially off the coin machine for whatever reason.

Man, this is unreal...about half way through it.

Awesome score! Cant wait for the totals! 40-minute drive well spent! I'll bet the drive home was twice as long as you knee-steered checking out the sample handfuls!

Unbelievable man, way to go! Lately I've been having a heart attack every time I come on this forum. Its been a few months since I scored big, and that big score was really the only one I've had. I hunt a lot and get consistent results, but never really kill it. I've been hunting several grand of CWR for the last few weeks, I will find my solid rolls!!!! one of these days lol. HH and enjoy the bag!

By the way that's hilarious about canceling your office hours, I've canceled mine for much less than a potentially good bag of halves (read as: happy hour)
