After work i decided to take a drive to a bank with a pretty cool vault teller. He's younger maybe late 20's. he orders me 2 half boxes a week and i can pick them up whenever i want, and he knows i dont have an account at that bank.

Anyway i picked up 2 boxes today and on the way out i notice 2 enders on top of the first box also had 1 on the bottom. Sadly it didn calculate to 30 silvers like i had hoped but had 1 90%and 8 40%.

The second box had 1 ender and gave up a total of 1 90% and 9 40%.

But as i was opening one roll this is what i found

My first silver bicentennial!!! I saw the silver rim n figured it was another ordinary 40%er because that was all i had found up to that point. But as i moved the clad out of the way i see an upside down independence hall staring at me!! I thought Mav had found any remaining silver bicentennials when he had a box with 4 in it a while back. But lucky for me he missed one. Always fun finding a first of something.

Anyway ended up with 2-90% and 17-40%.

Yeah id almost rather find a silver bicentennial over a walker, just cuz the bicentennial was only made one year, and just seems neat to me. Feels cool to get one out of the wild.

I went back to the same bank today, sadly got 2 skunks
