As for more timely endeavors, on the afternoon of the 29th of August, I received notification that my preordered parcel of half dollars had indeed arrived at my banking institution of choice, and I dispatched myself there henceforth to retrieve it.
All other boxes of halves that I have ordered have been packaged in the "cubic" style of box, packed via the 5x5x2 manner in gray-and-white "shotgun" rolls. The box that awaited me was a "long flat" box, packed 5x10x1, all in brown handrolls without tape. Furthermore, the brown packing tape that spanned the box's girth had been split asunder, and the top flaps of the box stood agape, displaying the array of crimped roll wrappers. With great dread, I prognosticated that the bank's personnel had examined this box's contents afore I had chance to, and that scant pickings were in my future. However, I did accept the box in the gentlemanly manner, as not to arouse suspicion of my hunting proclivities.
Lo, what treasures did I unearth? Not a glint of silver did I spy. Found were a pair of 2002-D coins, a variety that I have encountered numerous times over. My first 2004-D made its appearance, and will fill a sore vacancy in my growing collection. Lastly a curiosity presented itself, in the form of a gold-plated coin. In this unfortunate specimen, the dates "1960" and "1985" had been smote upon the coin's surface with violent force. Though possessing little value, I retained this coin for novelty sake.
What shall my next adventure yield? My psyche swirls with fancies of luxurious doubloons, but only the Fates are certain of what may be.
