Friday/Saturday 29 boxes of halves

[Bigheed]

so last week my main bank screwed up my order cause they had computer issues, but no big deal I was going to chicago for the week anyways. Then this week I come in and the Manager says, "I got you a few extra to make up for last week" , oh cool I'm thinking maybe a couple extra, my standing order is 10 boxes. He says with a smile, "I got 30 boxes this week" , "No problem!!". I still have 6 more to pickup there tomorrow + a few more at smaller branches....was a busy weekend!! Boxes were nice and consistent with Fridays box #9 being my personal best with 16 pieces. Anyways here's the results.

wow.. it's kind of like dime numbers.. some skunks with some with just one here and there. Sprinkles.. guess you weren't kidding about the doing half a million. I wonder if the bank is cool with you ordering that many long term? Good thing you're in LA and not where I live. Keep it up.

I'd be more concerned about dumping O_O

My thoughts as well.. How do you plan to dump them all?

just out of curiosity, could you post the dates/pics of the proofs? I like getting proofs in circulation, up to 4 this year- 3 from 1 box. all different dates

are these common dates?
1973s
1978s
1996s
2008s

To answer a couple questions

I wonder if the bank is cool with you ordering that many long term

I didn't order that many - manager did it to make up for missed order , but my standing order at that branch is 10 boxes per week.

Good thing you're in LA and not where I live. Keep it up.

My main dump lets me do up to 15 bags per day..I've only done 12 once, normally its 4-6 bags every day or 2.

As I've said in many previous posts cash vault bags are king for dumping. I am in and out of there in 10 minutes or less.

just out of curiosity, could you post the dates/pics of the proofs? I like getting proofs in circulation, up to 4 this year- 3 from 1 box. all different dates

Sure I will take some pictures tonight when I get a chance BuffaloBoy and add them to my initial post.

LOL.. I was thinking that too.. I began to occasionally give gifts to dump bank people too. One of my dump banks is really cool with me now. It's funny how their faces turn around when they personally benefit from it.

Just one other thought...29 boxes...just wow.

In just one weekend, you searched almost as much as I do in 15 weeks!!!!
