Here's the highlights of my week:
First box of nickels: 1956 Proof, 1942-P War , worn date Buffalo
Loose and CWR from bank tellers, two different banks. The first bank sold me one roll and four loose. The roll contained three 40%. That was Tuesday.
Today, on a whim, I stopped at a different bank I've never been to. I only had $18 cash on me. I asked the teller if he had any halves. He said he had rolls and loose. So I bought one roll and $8 worth of loose. The roll had 2 40% so I went to my banks ATM nearby to get as much cash as I could so I could go back and buy the rest of the rolls.
I came back to the bank thinking there was going to be several rolls available. The teller that I dealt with fifteen minutes earlier was stepping out of the bank to have his break. Grrrrr. I told him I was back for the rest of the halves and he went right back inside to his window. That was nice. The way he responded earlier when he had halves I was under the impression that there were many rolls back there.
He said "I have 22". I said " I'll take all 22 (!)" I started to count out $220 but he said , "no, I have $22 dollars worth".
Each roll had another 40% half so that was four today, seven this week.
Later, I was at the thrift store. Often I see cheap state quarter folders in the random bric-a-brac sections. I always check them and of course there is usually nothing .
Today I saw a Harris Westward Nickels folder. Nothing was in it. I continued to sift through a lot of other random stuff on those shelves.
Eventually I found a Whitman Roosevelt 1965+ dimes folder. Opened it up and the last section contained seven clad dimes and in the blank fill-in-your own spots were four Mercury dimes. Not bad for .99
