We've had little CRH success in months, even run into a number of CRH dumps.
It does get discouraging ...
But there's always tomorrow and the hope of a find.

Today's find was a nice way to end this dry streak.
Teller was just arriving for a shift, said he had 10 Eisenhowers and $8.50 worth of halves.

Wow, our first barber, 1910S !
Also a 1945 Walker and what looks like a 1967 SMS Kennedy.
And a number of NIFCs, including the seldom seen 1987D (only issued in mint sets) and 2017 P &D that I didn't have yet.

Nice. Could I ask a dumb question? What is an NIFC?

Thanks everyone for the compliments. That barber and walker were almost white in color compared to the clad.
Perhaps they had been cleaned, the patina doesn't look natural. My son thought it might have been a small 'type' grouping of halves (but no Franklin) that were banked.
There was also a gold plated clad bicentennial in this group, not really worth more than face, but it was something different.

And a little postscript today ... after finding nothing at 2 more banks, a third bank had 13 Customer Wrapped rolls that yielded a total of 5 40% halves.
Nice to be in the scoring column again! Nothing for several months and then 2 scores within a few days ...

Did someone say good things come in threes ?

Here's my Coinstar finds from tonight's trip to the grocery store.
Silver dime was a nice surprise.
