bag of halves - given away

[Ben Cartwright SASS]

I went to my pickup bank to check on how much was in the half bag so I could buy it. They said $3.00 I said what happened they said they didn't know. Either someone filled it and then bought it or they shipped it out.

AAARRRGGGGHHHHH

Drinking right now... diet coke ROFL

I was still trying to figure out how I would sneak it into the house as the family has me locked down...

I just called my other bag pickup bank and they have $40 to go to fill the halves. They were at $503 back in February of this year, that would be ok but they have been closed forever only opening recently and someone last year did a dump - another CRHer so probably the same thing again but I will go get it tomorrow, I have enough halves to fill it.

have the bag in the garage, looking at it through the plastic I see 3 40% and what looks like the edge of a 90%

I will sneak it into the house and take my time working through it because I am not getting boxes at this time. Will look for missing FG's and double dies etc

Good luck. Hope you get a dream bag.

 

[Ben Cartwright SASS]

Doubt it will be a dream bag but I will be happy with 10 40% and a couple 90%

In my "walter mitty" dreams at night I dream that someone dumped their grandfathers collection of complete Seated Liberties and Bust and Barber halves ROFL

But I do see at least 4 40% and some edges that look silver, although I have been fooled before. I will also take my time looking for errors and missing FG's

so far about 80 coins check and

3 1964's 90% and 5 40%

this may be an ok bag!

 

[Dannycoco]

Nice . Keep it going.

 

[fistfulladirt]

This is all you can do...

 

[Ben Cartwright SASS]

not a bad bag
9 90%
22 40%

Good for you Ben. Time & patience win out in the end. Due to the coin shortage, one of my dump banks that did not sell bags before, is willing to sell to me as they fill up. Problem I have now is cash flow.

Don't let halves bang against each other. Me wife has complained several times (I am sitting on the bed) when I look at the coin and then toss it in a pile of halves, she does not like the sound. doesn't matter if it is the silver pile or clad. You have to be discrete.
