So I did some CRH'ing on the 6 hour drive today to visit family for the holiday. Stopped at a bank and asked for halves. They said "yeah, we have a guy a get's them from Brinks and then brings them in here, we have a bunch, how many would you like?" Damn... I'm eating dumps here. "I'll take $40 worth" She goes and gets what looks like 4 CWR's out of the safe and I thank her and walk out to the car. I sit down and crack one end open and there's a '67 staring at me. I dump the roll out and see three more 40%ers. Without opening the other 3 rolls I head back into the bank laughing about the "always buy them all" commandment I had broken and kindly tell the same teller I'll take the rest of them as well. She says they have $1,140 more, I say great, thanks and this time I take them all.
In total there are two boxes and 14 loose rolls and the 4 original rolls. The boxes where obviously searched and rerolled as were 3 of the loose rolls. The other 11 loose rolls have the same wrappers as the 4 original ones.
I go to the rewrapped rolls first and found nothing. So I stop to dump them and head to a bank. I get back to the machine and am chatting it up with the teller when I look at the 4 bags on the floor next to the machine, 2 quarter bags, a nickel bag and a penny bag. The penny bag is open and has 2 steel cents sitting on the top of the pile. I ask the teller "you mind if I look through a couple of those pennies?" She says no problem. I should have played it cool and just tried to the buy the bag, but instead I got stupid and pointed out the wheats - I'm still learning. In the first handful I pull ~20 wheat's out. Next handful about the same. The teller says "great, I collect those" I hand her the wheats and ask her (too late now idiot) if I can buy the bag. She says no, she collects coins and is going to sift through the whole bag (and the others to look for silver). She gives me 15 of the wheats for pointing it out which I appreciated. I'd guess there was at least a couple of hundreds wheats in the bag, maybe more. The handfuls where probably 75% copper or greater.
So before I get back to the 15 half rolls, keep in mind I haven't found a silver half in over twenty years and have found 2 40%'ers total in my life.
The 15 rolls had 7 skunk rolls and 8 with silver. The 8 good rolls contained -
67 (ender), 67, 68, 67
64 (ender), 65, 67, 64, 64
67, 66, 67, 67
69 (ender), 66, 64, 64, 65, 67
68, 68, 67, 67, 68, 68, 65
69, 67, 67, 67, 68, 67, 69
67, 68
65, 69
Total
5 - 64's
32 - 40%ers
15 wheat's (oldest '39, two nice steel cents)
Combine that with the '92 Olympic commemorative half from yesterday making a total of 37 silver and 53 keepers and I'd say I'm feeling great.
