Cerulean's Harrowing Half Hunting History

[Cerulean]

Since I planned a branch visit ahead of time (to renew a CD), I also called ahead asking for the tellers to pool together all their halves, $2s and dollar coins for my anticipated arrival. I was told over the phone at that time that some fellow had visited the branch earlier that day and taken all of that stuff.

So I was surprised to be offered $2s and halves by the tellers (who recognize me there as that weird money guy) when I arrived. I explained that I didn't expect to find any and wasn't going to bother them, but it turns out they had some anyway.

I took all 15 rolls of halves home with me, along with a generous stack of Toms. Many of the halves sported a hint of red edge stripe on the reeding, and a few had blackened ears, both telltale signs of being somebody else's search rejects. However, I did find a 2002-P half.

Are you looking for the old $2 bills? I got $100 worth of consecutively numbered $2 bills a few years back for my neice's 2nd birthday, but they were Series 2003A.

Four rolls of halves from my usual Wachovia branch contained two 1967 JFK halves, my first silver strike in ten months. (Meanwhile, $100 in small dollars produced nothing of interest.)

Warning to other CRHers: To some tellers, "silver dollars" refers to Susan B Anthony dollars. Yuck.

240 halves in brown paper wrappers from my usual source bank yielded a 2002-D and a 2003-P, the first NIFC halves I've found since November.

No half dollars at the bank today, but I did get a few rolls of small dollars for spending. Hidden among them was a 2000-S Sacagawea PROOF!

I don't know how I've never spotted this before, but this is a pretty cool journal you got going on here.
