Hello,
Yesterday my wife and I were out and about running errands. We were in a part of town we do not often go, when I spotted a nice looking bank and swerved into the parking lot. "Sorry, Impulse, just gotta check one
," I said to my wife. She shrugged and went in with me. It is a large and very nice bank and beautifully furnished.
I walked up and spoke with a teller, greeted her, and asked for halves. She said she had 1, and I offered to buy it. Then a teller 2 booths down said, "I have some rolls of them if he wants those." The teller I spoke to origionally said I could buy them, but that they are $10 each, so you probably dont want them. I asked how many she had, and was suprised to hear, "26 rolls."
I whipped out my cash and only had $100 - caught with my pants down. I bought what I could afford and we went back on our way. Those rolls were skunky, not one silver.
So today, I went out of my way and bought the rest. I can't sleep well knowing there are halves in a vault and I havent searched them. So in the midst of more errands today I ran 15 miniutes across town to hit the bank. The rolls were soon mine, and like a dwarf I opened them all and had my way with searching. I was rewarded with 3 40%, 1 90%, and a 2007D. So now my wife is a little happier. I am shipping off the majority of the silver we have found so far, and it made her sad. She loves to spread it out on the table and revel in the shiney silver like a dwarf. She was also happy to see the ring I found today, but that is another story altogether (see Todays Finds for that story).
Part of my daily errands was shipping something off from the post office. I expected to find a suitable box there, and finding none, left, and checked a Kmart. Nope, no boxes there. So I thought, and realized a dime box would be perfect, and I could use the empty rolls for coushin. Perfect! So off I went to a Wachovia. I asked for halves first of course, and was delighted to find 5 rolls. Off into the back she went and when she came in, I was happy to see machine rolls. Then I noticed soemthing different - they were not brinks or loomis. The were REAL fed rolls.
The rolls are labeled as follows:
2 2001p
2001d
2006p
2006d
Now I need to know how to sell them. Should I ask at a coin shop? Craigs List? What premium would they fetch? These are very new to me, and the only thing I know for sure is to not open them. Any insight is appreciated!
Thank you and Happy Hunting,
Anthony
