hey folks... here's the story of what happened today..
the bad: i went to a "new" bank which i have an account with to deposit a check and ask about ordering half dollars. The woman did not know about ordering, but was very friendly to try and get help... as soon as I opened my mouth asking to order boxes, I hear a male teller 4 cells down abruptly say, "NO", rudely. I was quite angry to say the least, I was going to ask why, but decided it is not worth causing issues, and left the branch.
What I don't get is, the same bank, different branch, 5 miles down the road, orders for me...
the ugly... i picked up 2 boxes of pennies today which turned out to be my WORST batch ever producing 2 wheat cents... box 1 was about 80% solid 2012 pennies, and the remaining 20%(10 rolls) gave up the 2 wheaties... and it gets uglier. The second box i saved for last because it looked like a well circulated mix. nope, just somebody's dumps, not a single wheat in the entire box, just 1 canadian cent and a denver US mint token(penny size)... in other words, a skunk. I never had a penny box skunk besides solid new boxes, but this one was all but that, very few new pennies in the mix.
also very ugly, one of the banks i use switched from brinks to garda, and garda stinks in my area... no more hot brinks half dollar boxes ...
the good... i have 4 boxes of halves coming in next week instead of 2, but they will all be garda(black and white skunk rolls)... I also got a full sweep of the coin machine magnet with 30+ coins on it, including $4.50 CAD!
Hope you all have had a better week then I have had...

p.s. i only have a mercury dime and a war nickel to show this week and a small pile of wheats, a bad week in my books.
