I'll not list all of the banks because so many had no halves. I started out with a full charge on my Pruis and headed towards the Atlanta GA direction. Hit up all the small banks along the way.
I scored a roll and $7.00 in loose halves at one bank, could see one silver edge as she was handing them to me... it was a 1966.
At another bank, a teller offered me $100 of halves rolls from the vault. She said some old guy had dropped them off after searching through them. The rolls all had a big black X drawn on them. I took them, scored a 1967.
On the way back I took a different route, stopped at a bank I had never been to, no loose halves. The head teller asked if I wanted $170 in halves rolls from the vault. She said they had been brought in by an old guy that had searched them, and that another guy had bought them, searched them, and returned them. Twice searched rolls, what the heck, might as well. When she brought them out, I recognized the rolls and big black X marks, exactly the same as the rolls from the previous bank. Scored a solid roll of 1976, over half of which look fresh from the mint so I kept those. Scored some 2004 NIFC's, most of which still looked fresh from the mint. And scored a 1969D. So much for being twice searched.
Drove back and went to my dump bank, dumped the halves and the quarters bag. Today was box delivery day at my main buy bank so I picked up 2 boxes of halves for later.
Made one more stop at a small local bank in town and I could see some silver in the halves in the teller tray. I bought her halves, $9.50 of them, scored 8 40%'ers!
Drove home as one happy CHR'er. Drove 186 miles round trip, only burned a little over 1 gallon of gas due to driving on pre-charged electric from home for the first 100 miles or so.
