My end of the week boxes did not come in last week. I was they did not have any more halves. My Wednesday box order from a different branch last week was short one box because of the same reason so I guess it is legit.
This actually was a blessing in disguise for me....here is the reason.
I have been searching dimes lately with good success. One day last week I found 39 in one box and had a ball with it.
My husband & I had plans to go to our cabin for the holiday weekend, so since I didn't have any halves to search I decided to load up on boxes of dimes to bring with me. I wanted to bring 4 boxes, but I couldn't get them all at the branch that had the good box (they only let me have one) so I went to 3 other branches. They all would only give me one box each because they were low on dimes.
My buddy at the branch with the good box from last week knows all about silver and pulls all silver dimes when he opens rolls for his tray.....he always tells me how many he has found & actually shows them to me......very nice guy. When I asked for this box Friday...I asked him to grab the box that was underneath the one he gave me last week with the 39.....just a hunch/theory I told him.
Anyway, I got four boxes of dimes. The one my buddy got for me held 20 silver dimes including 2-3 Mercs. It was dated 8-27. After that box was done I looked at the other three and saw another one with the same date. I immediately grabbed that one and started searching. It contained 68 silver dimes with more Mercs and best of all.........a BARBER!!!! Yes, my first Barber dime. When I opened the roll there was 3 silver (edge search) in there. One was so worn the reeded edge was gone. I thought it had a chance to be a Barber and sure enough it was.
Neither of the other two boxes had the same date. One yielded 3 silver dimes and the other was a skunk. But I was plenty satisfied already....lol.
Tomorrow I will cash in and go to all of the branches to see if I can get any more of the 8-27 boxes. I have a good relationship with all of the tellers at each branch but I have my doubts I can get any because all of the branches would only give me one box Friday because they were low on dimes and I know they didn't get any more boxes in at each branch that late in the afternoon on Friday. We'll see...can't hurt to try.
Someone obviously turned in a big collection and they rolled and boxed them on 8-27.
Prior to getting these dimes Friday afternoon, I did a little bank hopping for halves and picked up a little over 20 so it was a good day!
