Had an auction to go to last night was about an hour from home.I had made a road trip to this area last summer and recalled a bank that had 400.00 in halves but vault teller was gone.Since i would be driving right by it took along extra cash.got there at 4:55,teller said no halves in trays ,asked if they still had 400 hundred in vault.Vault teller was at next window her ears perked up...we have 620:00 she said.My teller asks....do you have account...you have to have an account and on and on....geeeshhh was hard to talk to vault teller with her interupting lol.Vault teller finnally told her "i'm sick of counting these every night i could care less if he has an account as long as he has cash".At ten after 5 I leave bank and head off to auction...terrible auction although i did get a 23 peace in ef-40 for 15.00.Anyhow get home last night and start opening rolls.few 40's and 90's here and there then out pops a very wide silver edge....my very first 90% proof,Its not in thgreatest of shape but no scrathes and still has lots of luster.....ohhhh did i mention it was a 95....couldn't believe it.About 3 rolls later my girlfriend says look athis....a beautiful 63 proof.full lustre.Ended up with 25 40's and 11 90's and the 2 proofs.Best pick-up in quite awhile which is good as i have given up on boxes.I am down to 1 box of halves and 4 boxes of pennies a week.hh to all ....jon
