I was just at my dump bank the next city over on Saturday which has a teller who collects on his own (and I know has amassed a large collection). He knows I collect and keeps me updated on his finds at the branch.
A couple weeks back he sold me a $600 strap of 1950 series $10s, about 20 of which are uncirculated. As a thanks while dropping off a couple boxes of halves, I brought him a couple of those grocery store boxes of cookies which he appreciated. In addition he let me trade in a $1 for 2 of his 40%s which I appreciated.
I pitched the idea of purchasing his collection, but he also told me the story of his sister who is a teller a couple of town over and received an entire box ($500!) full of franklin halves...she said the seller was just tired of holding it and wanted the cash! So hopefully I'll be able to make an offer on that as well!
Just another good example of amazing finds that come around. If this teller hadn't picked it, there's a good chance all of that might have gone through Brinks!
