A new teller who just transferred over from a BofA in Virginia to my "home" BofA in Carmel (California) waved me over from line today to say she'd saved some "old style" rolls for me. She said a middle-aged man had come in and said he was depositing them for his mother, and would I like to have about $130 in old-style half-dollar rolls?
Of course you know what I said.
As I was paying for them, I remembered to ask if there were any other rolls he'd brought in, and she said "Oh, yeah, he turned in a bunch of old nickel and dime rolls, also. You want them, too?"
Of course you know what I said.
And as I was paying for those, I remembered that the last time I was in I had given her a no-date Buffalo as a little thank-you for putting up with me and all the heavy nickel boxes I'd been picking up. She had mentioned to me then that she was actually clear on the concept of CRH and helped a few customers back in Virginia and said she'd keep an eye out for interesting coins for me. (So few of the tellers around here know anything about CRH, but I suppose that's a good thing...) In any case, thanks to one little no-date buffalo, she did!
And the results?
Not so hot, but not too bad, either: Two old, brown $20 rolls with "1971" written on them in pencil that produced mostly 1971 halves with a few bicentennials mixed in. Another old, brown $20 roll with "1972" written on it had mostly 1972 halves with a few bicentennials mixed in as well, and a roll marked "1974" turned out to be a solid roll of 1974, as advertised. Then there were a half-dozen or so $10 dollar rolls with a little bit of this and a little bit of that, but no silver as far as the eye could see, I'm still quite sorry to say.
What makes it not so bad, though, is that every coin in every roll was AU/BU, and so I thought, "What the hell, I'll start a book!" Ended up with 1971 P&D, '72 P&D, '73 D, '74 P&D, '77 P&D, '78 D, '80 D, '81 D, and '84 D. Of the many, many bicentennials mixed in all the rolls, I decided to keep the best three, and another for my new favorite teller, Tabitha. (Funny thing, though, in all the rolls there were multiples of everything, with the exception of the '71 P, of which there was only one.)
Moving on to the nickels and dimes now. I will update everyone later today or tomorrow...wish me better luck!
HH!
