Rolls wrapped in Masking Tape

kennedyfan · Jul 28, 2011

Took a mini road trip today to the next town over, and hit 5 banks. I'm glad I brought plenty of cash, because I wound up buying about $500 in halves.

One bank surprisingly had a few hundred in machine-wrapped rolls; for some reason they order them regularly. I bought them out and also got a few CWRs (alas, accurately marked "NS").

But one bank did well. 3 double-size rolls that were wrapped in masking tape! Strange; I got some scotch-taped rolls last week.

I could see instantly that it was going to be worth my time. Want to guess how many silvers in there?

Hard to tell with the tape, but I guess 25.

Work at getting good at rim searching !
I wouldn't be able to do dimes at all if I had to check dates.
It's a simple matter of looking for the silver rims PLUS checking everything that looks dark or dirty. Practice makes it easy.
