Long story but was comical- I will try to be to the point.
My grandmother had a hair appt today in a small town about 30 miles away (where she lived her whole life before moving to the big city). Anyways noone was free to take her not even me- but the thought occured to me last night that I need to visit that bank out there and relieve them of their "silver" halves haha. Anyways I got freed up to go, ran by the dump bank and unloaded everything I had sos I would have lots of cash. Now grams hair appt is about a 3 hour ordeal so I hope to god they have lots of halves out there.
Cut to the bank- I go in told the teller I was looking for half dollars, she didn't have any but the next teller over did and she would be back in a minute. So while I waited another teller came over to try to help me but when she asked me how many halves I wanted and I told her "all ya got" she said we better wait for Kim. As she walked away she said "What if we got $500?", I said "great the more the better". Kim comes and goes to the open vault (very small town), she sticks her head out and says "Sir, we have $890. Do you want them all?" Yep I want them all. 1 full loomis box, 17 home rolls & 22 Loomis rolls in another box. I said how about the ones in your tray? You still want those? haha $10 or 12 more there. I paid and was almost ready to leave and the second lady came out with another handful she had raided from the coin counter- out comes the wallet again. I don't know the exact total I left with but was about $910-920. I took 3 Ikes of their hands too since they were so nice and really didn't want them. Kim said "Thank you very much" when I left. I was to busy droolin over them home rolls to be thinking clearly so it didn't occur to me to ask how they wound up with a whole box (sealed)- I don't think they just keep one around as they were just too happy to get rid of them all. Someone must have ordered it and never picked it up. I will definately be taking grams to her hair appts from now on, every 3 months. So instead of haveing 3 hours of boredom- I had a ball.
Total tally- (4)'64's, a '65, (4) '67's, and (4) '68's. Lucky 13 haha.
BTW this has turned into a pretty good saving plan for me, don't want to waste $$$ or I won't have enough for halves haha. Now I have to dump again before I can pick up ordered two boxes on Monday- we may have created a monster here haha.
