Yesterday I went on my first road trip since late 2009. Only spent four hours hitting the banks as I had other commitments.
One bank I went to the teller said she didn't have any half dollars,so I asked for dimes. When she opened her drawer it looked looked as if someone had dumped a thousand dollars of halves into it. I never saw anything like it,and there was silver on top of that pile. I could hear the jungle as she fished around for a roll of dimes for me.
Went to another bank and saw a solid row of silver in the tellers tray. Must have been a good 30 keepers there. She offered me two sliced string rolls. I told her that I prefer the loose halves like in the tray there.
She said that those were for another customer. I've heard that tune before.
Next bank I couldn't see the teller trays. I asked for halves and the teller told me that they didn't have any.
She asked me if I was looking for silver. I told her that I was looking for bearded Kennedy halves. She said she never heard of one of those. I told her that they were extremely rare, and that one sold last week for ten grand. From my car I could see her her looking through what I can only assume were the halves that she didn't have.
Next bank I got 5 skunk rolls marked with a zero with a slash through it,European style. Haven't run into these since my last road trip.
The remainder of the banks didn't have any halves but I managed to pick up $1500 in dimes and $300 in quarters.
The quarters were a skunk and the dimes only had 4 Rosies.
It wasn't a very productive trip,but I did have some fun,and that's what counts. I'll try it again.
