was bored today so i grabbed a couple hundred bucks and set out to get some dimes and halves

first bank the teller was a grumpy old hag and only gave me $20 in halves and $20 in dimes. thinking about starting a free account and making this my dump bank as they charge 5% to count coins to nonmembers

second bank didnt have any halves but gave up $40 in hand rolled dimes with the tops taped shut

third bank had $120 in loose halves, while waiting for 2 tellers to count up my halves (felt bad they had to count them by hand, probably wont have them do it again as it took almost 10 minutes) i noticed a shiny rim in the tellers dime tray, asked to look at it, 1964 Rosie. ill take it.

fourth bank gave me $200 in halves. while the teller was getting my rolls i noticed another shiny rim in her quarter tray, i asked to look at it, but it was canadian.. rats!

results..

bank 1 skunked

bank 2 (hand rolled taped shut) a 1954 Rosie and a 1954 Denmark 10 Ore, interesting... probably gonna go back tomorrow and buy more from this bank

bank 3 - 1964 rosie pulled from tellers tray, got skunked from the halves

bank 4 skunked.


im getting frustrated with halves, gone through well over $1000 worth and have only pulled out three 40%.. definitely gonna throw dimes into the mix now, much easier to get as every bank has them, and they dont ask as many questions when dumping

oh.. picture

Nice find on the dimes, but the foreign coin isn't worth anything... local coin shop may buy it for a nickel...

Can't find any halves aroud here either. Ithink there is another guy CRH according to the teller ::) Good luck and welcome to the net.
 
Good eyeing that silver dime. I did really good on the dimes yesterday. So I am going to keep them in mine weekly search also.......Matt
