After calling more branches today....one branch that was finally able to give me a box of dimes had one dated 8-27. These tellers must think I am crazy asking for a specific date on these boxes...lol....but oh well.....ha! It produced 50 Rosie's & 5 Mercs.....wahooooo!
Another branch had one dated 8-29 so I took it hoping for an overflow from when they were rolled and boxed but it didn't materialize.....3 Rosie's.
At this bank I started chatting with one of the tellers (very young) about coins. She reached in her drawer and pulled out two 64 quarters and said they looked different from a regular quarter. I told her that was the last year they minted silver quarters and that she should keep them. She said she wasn't really interested in coins and offered them to me which I hesitated and again mentioned she should just hang on to them because they didn't make them out of silver anymore. She said she they have been in her drawer for a few months and she didn't collect coins and again offered...this time I took her up. She asked for my phone number and said if she gets anything else in that doesn't look normal she will call me. I will bring them some cookies or something very soon because that was very nice of her.
Answering the question from yesterday post about the collection book on the Rosie's......I haven't picked one up yet but I will.
The halves did well today also. I got a few more halves that were in very good shape again today. They still have that mint luster to them.
Thurm - You wanted to see a picture of yesterday's batch so I took a picture of today's and yesterday's together.
