On Wednesday I had to work in Alpena, and on Thursday Manistique. I was able to stop at 18 banks along the way. Banks were visited in Alpena, Rogers City, Cheyboygan, St. Iganace, Naubinway, Engadine and Manistique.
I searched about$1400 in halves. It was nice to replenish my cash at the casino near Manistique (They have the fastest coin counter I have ever seen). Most banks had halves, in teller trays, a few rolls at a time, $290 from a bank in Cheboygan this gave up 1 40%. One bank sold me a bag with $480 in halves that had 3 40% and the Peso. The last 40% half was found in Rogers City.
The banks that sold me the bag of halves also sold me $500 in dimes, this produced the 3 rosies.
At every bank I start by asking for $2 or $3 in cents. This seems to break the ice, I then follow up with. "Do you have any Half Dollar coins? Either loose, in rolls or perhaps in the vault." I ended up searching about $35 in cents and scored 13 wheats (oldest 1929).
The first bank in Alpena gave me $2 in cents and I scored the 1902 Indian Head
. First one of the year.
I was also able to do some fly fishing on the Two Hearted River, caught two small trout.
