So I live in a pretty densely populated area where I figured, since there is a bank on just about every corner, I'm set up nicely. Took all the change we had laying around the house, sorted it and found:
-3 walking liberty's halves (1941, 1941, 1943)
-1 40% kennedy half (1969d)
-1 silver quarter (1948)
-1 silver roosevelt dime (1964)
-2 buff nickels (1925,1928)
-1 indian head cent (1895)
-a couple hundred pre 82 memorial coppers
-about 2 dozen wheaties
a handful of foreign coins and tokens
also took $653.13 in assorted change to one of my local banks that has a free change counter and opened an account. When my atm card was activated a few days later I took out 500 and went to all the banks within 2 miles or so (5 diff banks) looking for halves. I got 16.50 in skunk clads from one teller and was greeted with confused looks at all the other 4 stops. Hmmmmmmm........ I thought this would go smoother.
Since the bank I opened the account at was very friendly, I guess I wont use that as my dump bank as planned and will go over and ask about ordering a box or bag of halves from them tomorrow. Have to find a different branch to use as my dump.
Pretty typical start I guess.
