CWR Halves and some Pennies

[dblick]

Good Evening all,

On lunch today I thought I would stop at my local bank and buy some pennies and halves. They only had $20 in halves so I bought them. I asked how they get them in and the teller said from their customers as they do not order halves. They were in brinks wrappers so I suspect someones dump. Well, no keppers, all clad!

Secondly, I felt bad asking the teller to bring out alot of pennies so I just asked for $10. I got $25 over the weekend and only found one wheat so I didn't expect much. Well, this time I was pleasantly surprised. After a couple of dead rolls, I found a 1916-D wheat and out pops a 1905 Indian Head. Boy was I stoked! Decent shape, the Liberty is slightly visible. All in all out of the $10, 1 IH and 7 wheats. I can't complain. I am going back this tomorrow for $25 in pennies for the weekend.

I just love seeing the old coins and it reminds me of collecting coins with my dad. You can't beat this!

Congratulations! I picked up $100 in pennies and $33 in halves this morning. I haven't even opened the penny boxes yet but I found two halves for my Dansco.

Nothing beats unwrapping a roll of pennies only to see a wreath on the back side and an Indian on the front

And always get the CWRs (and loose halves! Don't forget about those either), while you may be skunked a few times by buying someone's dumps, who knows, you might hit the jackpot and get a few solid rolls!
