Forgot About This Bank......

[LJ]

I was in this small town about 20 minutes from where I work a few weeks back and didn't make it to this bank before they closed at 4:00. I had forgotten all about this bank until today.

Today I went back at noon and asked for rolls of halves which they said they had some. I asked the lady how many she had and her reply was how many do you want. I told her I would buy all that she had which she replied she had $2000 worth!! Oops....let me she how much cash I have....lol. We both laughed as I started pulling out money. I had $800 so I bought 80 rolls. I will be back tomorrow the buy the balance but I didn't tell her that because I didn't want any of the tellers to get suspicious about my intentions. As I was walking out one teller said to come back to get the balance so they would not have to count them in the vault everyday.....my very thought....hehehe.

Also check out the old wrapper from these rolls. I don't know how old it is but it looks really old although it held no silver. Anyway, here are the totals.

5-90% (1-1945 Walker, 1-1963 Franklin & 3-Kennedy's)
2-1965
7-1967
10-1968
2-1969
26 Total Keepers

Nice batch of keepers! I got two of those same old roll wrappers yesterday, but skunked on 'em.

Good going on the silver LJ! You always think you're gonna run out of finds but so far so good. Never seen a wrapper like that, neat.

LJ, if my count is right, you're within 100 of your next big milestone. Seems you just passed 1k a few weeks ago?

Wish me luck, getting my first box of halves tomorrow.

them type of wrappers are called universal wrappers.kinda neat design where same roller can be used for anything from dimes to halves.if u unroll it u will see how it is made as the coin size rolled determines which denom printing shows in the little cutout window.very cool.i dont know how old they are but have seen as recently as 3 yr ago

How nice to forget about a bank like that!
Did you say $2000 worth?
Holy moly!
Maybe the next $1200 will get you to the millenium mark!
I'll keep my fingers crossed!
