$230 collection cashed in

[SilverJack]

At one of my pickup banks today and the teller informs me that due to the holiday there was a mix up resulting in my coins were not being ordered in time. But she says a woman had stopped in earlier and cashed $230 in halves and $43 in Ikes. Ding! Collection!

So I bought the lot.

Nothing from the Ikes as expected. I'm still hunting for that elusive 40%er.

Start with the halves and notice they are rolls of solid years which is a great sign usually. Unfortunately, the earliest year in the collection was 1971. Disappointment abounds.

Now to dump.

damn that is a major bummer, but you did the right thing, always buy it all if you have the funds available, you just never know !!

I save all Ikes tellers or Ikes I see in Cash drawers (: My dealer pays a dollar and a quarter

Seen rolls like that too. Written dates. Usually they turn out to be accurate.

You wouldn't happen to be in new Hampshire. Because I got a tip from a teller saying a lady called looking for wrappers for halves and Ike's.

Nope, not in NH. And to be clear, the rolls weren't written upon. When I would open them, they were all of the same year. Just kept hoping to find one solid silver... but it never happened.
