my first $1000.00 half bag

[norcalsteve]

Picked up my first bag of halves from one of my banks coin counter. It's the only bank around with one. They charge 6 '/, for account holders and 8 '/, for non account holders. It has taken over 7 months for the halve bag to fill up. So I figured no CRH were dumping into it.
I had very high hopes for a collection dump in there.
No collection dump but, I did find
(1) 1963 Ben
(2) 1964
(2) 1967
(1) 1968
My boxes lately have not been giving up much so i'm happy with this.
I did come out ahead just with the coins. There was $1000.50 in halves, $1.25 in quarters, .60 in dimes and 6 pennies.

I like the bags there fast and easy!

fast and easy, but hard to obtain! I've only been able to get my hands on one half dollar bag ($1,000 value) in 5+ years of CRH. Nice bag!!

Thanks.
It will probably be another 7 months before I get another.

Pretty good bag you got there! I'm tempted to go around town filling up half dollar bags with my box leftovers so I can buy them up. I had pretty good success with that strategy in the past, and I haven't been able to do it for a while because I haven't had half dollar boxes until recently.

I can't get any bags and boxes are only giving up maybe one or two silver....if any. I'm having better luck just buying up what I can find at any bank I go to.

I have two banks that I can get them from.

They get them from their supplier and roll their own coins.

I have gotten dimes from one as well.

I don't do it all that often maybe once every 3 weeks. One of the banks is where I had my best rolls at before I started ordering bags from them. 106 40's out of 310 MWR. I sure would have liked to seen the bag they came out of.

Nice bag!

Thanks. Its going to be hard waiting for the bag to fill up again. Bank manager told me to call every few months.

My last three years were bags only. $500 bags of rolled coin ready to ship out, and I buy 'em. No counters here, so that's how they do it.
