Got my usual box yesterday.
The entire thing was brand new shiny bank rolls of 1997-D. My second box like that.
The POSITIVE thing.....it is a different box. Instead of the 2 layer 5 X 5 roll box....it was one like many of you have gotten....1 layer of 5 X 10 rolls.
Said something like: Inspected by # so and so, with a date like Nov. 16, 2006.
So....the negative is no silver and nothing really of value.
The positive is that they are getting boxes from a new source. Perhaps direct from the Federal Reserve Bank in Atlanta? Who knows.....just as long as the next box is NOT new 1997-Ds. A new source means new possibilities!
Heck, even the tellers knew I would not find anything, as they could see how shiny and new they were through the air holes in the top.
So the other positive was that I knew right off the bat I would not find anything, so I did not waste my time searching 1,000 halves to get skunked.
I am due for a road trip anyway....I have some ideas for Saturday morning, beginning with stopping at a dump branch to unload this box and exchange it for paper cash to spend while hitting other banks.
Keep hunting, everyone!
