Hello All: I don't post much but I'm here everyday. Been CRH over a year now, and today is my First FULL ROLL DAY. Went out with a friend this morning to look at a couple new pistols at the near by Gun Store. Decided to stop by a couple banks in the area to see what they had for halves. First two banks had nothing, but then we stopped at a bank I've gotten lots of halves before. The nice teller said she had $2.50 worth and took them from her tray and dropped them on the counter, "TINK" went the bottom one(music to my ears). The teller next to her had two, and the drive thru teller had three. So out the door I go with $5 worth, the bottom one 1967. So on to the next bank on the road, the teller had $5.00 and "TINK" on the counter they went. Out of the bank with a 1964, and 1967.
Now on to the last stop before lunch. The bank had $280 worth Tuesday when I stopped by and I'd told the head teller I'd be back on Friday for them. I walk up to the teller and ask for halves, telling him they were in the vault. He come's back with $260 and says that's all they have. So I take them off to lunch, sitting on the stool at the diner I start looking over the rolls. Two different styles were used and on two of them were a "B" highlighted in yellow. So I opened one of these first and ALMOST fell off my stool. My First Full Roll and my first Franklin halves a 52 and a 63. So I opened the other roll with a "B" 19 silver one clad with 2 more Franklins 57d-63d. The rest of the rolls had nothing, someone's dump I think.
So in total 20-90% and 22-40%. I was doing 4 boxes a week two Loomis and two Dunbar, but they dried up. So now I'm just picking up what loose ones I can find. Along with any Ike's I come across.
The last two pic's show my finds from the last couple months, stacks of NIFC and silver halves, silver quarters, nickels, and dimes, steel pennies lots of Foreign coins and stacks of Canadian coins. So there still out there, you just have to find them. Happy Hunting Jack
