I got to do my major part of my CRH today, which isn't squat compared to some of you, I'm pretty small-time.

The 1st bag was a major drag, absolutely nothing to keep whatsoever in it. And since we have to hand roll it all back up, it was a tough one. It was marked "Ibena Bank" which I had not seen before.

The second one was from a casino in Louisiana, and had all sorts of stuff mixed in there.
In the first handful, I pulled out my first ever Franklin! A super-nice 1961. Found one more in there too. Also got a house key, a carwash token, 3 pennies, 7 dimes, a 1 Peso coin, 6 Susan B. Anthony and 3 Washington Dollars. Still wound up $3.50 in face short on the bag.

Total Halves pulled:

1 - '61
1 - '63
1 - '64
3 - '67
4 - '68
1 - '02
1 - '04
Gold plated

13 keepers. Not a very good pull this month, but I was happy with the two Franklins, finally got a couple!

Alright Scott.....congrats on the two Franklin's!!! It just amazes me what are found in bags.....unreal....a housekey ???

What is the coin with the gold colored center?
 
LA bag? Wonder how they got that?

Nice haul!
 
I have only bought one bag. I found all sorts of stuff in it. It was about 15-20 bucks short but I made up for that in silver I found.
 
Nice assortment scotto! Congrats on your first of many Frankies. Those bag machine descriminators can't be that good if keys are making it thru.

A carwash token. :P

No foolin! Not state-of-the-art I guess. Aparently it counted the key, token, dimes and pennies all as halves. ::)
 
Kudos on those Franklins.

Bags are fun to search through.
