Not a bad day, Roll of Ikes with pics

[gordon and tanner]

I have been ordering a box of halves every week from my personal bank. The last 8 boxes scored 1 ben Franklin. Iwas gettin kinda tired of that so I decided to switch banks. I ordered a box from a different bank last week and found 3 40%. Today the new bank's box of $500 gave up 1 90% 2 40% a 1996 proof and 1960 South African 1D with a hole drilled in it (what ever a 1D is). I was a nice change, I took the clad to my dump bank to replenish my cash. I had to work 60 miles away in Flint today. While in Flint I stopped a Chase bank and asked for halves. The teller had 8 dollars and one Ike. Scored a 40%. The next teller over had 80 dollars in hand rolled and 1 and half rolls of Ikes. I took a peek in the halves saw some silver, I saved them so my son Tanner could open them. Tanner scored 3 90% and 16 40% and get this, a 1960 South African 1D with a hole drilled in it, what are the chances of that. I could not resist opening the roll of Ikes, (I have never seen a roll of ikes only loose and in envelopes). This is the fun part of CRH I was dreaming of a roll of Peace Dollars and found...... all common Ikes. Oh well.

I stopped at a bank as I was picking up my kids from school and scored the 3 red seal 2 dollar bills. The nicest one has a red star. I know it adds value but I will have to check out Ebay to see how much.

It was a fun day

Keep on Searching, Dad and Tanner

PS I included the roll of Ikes in the photo because I have never seen one before.

How do you ask for red seal bills??

This teller had no halves. She asked me why I wanted them. I said my son collects them. She asked if he likes two dollar bills and she pulled out about 20 and fanned through them. I noticed the red seals and asked to buy them. I am not big into bills so I do not often get them. You can ask the teller if they have any funny looking dollars.

Good Luck Gordon and Tanner

Nice variety and excellent score on the red seals! VF-XF Series A star note with a fairly low serial number, worth ~ a couple rolls of clad.
