For the second time in two weeks the teller missed my order for boxes of halves today so as I was skipping work (sick day...had a tooth pulled yesterday after blowing $ for a root canal that cracked in half....grhh) I decided to grab the kid (4 year old son) and take a little drive.
We had hit about ten banks and all they had produced were those skunky empty hand rolls but with ten minutes remaining on the closing clock I spied one last bank which I had never been in. So in we went and inquired about the presences of half dollars for sale. They said they had $100 in rolls and quickly got them for me. I grabbed them and left as they locked the door behind me.
I drove around the block and grabbed an ice cream for my son then started to check out the rolls. As the halves dropped out of the roll I heard that familiar ring and knew that something good was happening. With a quick look I smiled and sure enough half of them were a brilliant white and there were about six 90% 64s staring at me. When it was over there were 58 of them sitting in my silver sack! Every roll had at least two while some were about full and they were all 90% and mostly in great condition. It made me wonder what is better, three solid dream rolls or ten partial dream rolls. I'm liking the partials as it extends the fun!
I guess I still am riding a little of the good karma wave from a few weeks ago as those boxes were probably gonna give about one 40% per box (my average for quite a while). I did have to drive about 50 miles but what the heck I'm in Maine and the foliage is about peaking here. Plus the meds they gave me for the pain seem to add to the hunting adventure...
