"thanks man, I've been wanting to get rid of these". Just plain lucky today!!

I hit a few banks while doing some errands today. I didn't expect much as I hit all of these banks just last week. I scored a few dimes along the way to my bank (which has produced a whopping two 40% halves for me. I buy a few rolls of dimes and ask for halves as usual. The teller says she has none but the young male teller to her left says "I have $7.50". I move to his window and all I see is silver as he counts it out. Then he remembers he has two more rolls. He insists on counting these out as well. I'm sweating the whole time as I expect a problem from him when he says "hey these are kind of old". Anyhow, he sells me everything and as I pack up to leave he thanks me for helping him get rid of these coins. I give him my card and thank him as well.

I fly out to the parking lot and simply cannot believe my eyes when I realize what I have...Franklins, Walkers and my first Barber!!

Pics from today and the balance of this week are below.

Man, what a score! Nothing like old silver at face! Those rolls would not have made it past the border here. ffd

Hard to believe it when they thank you like that. I like it when they just look at them and say how much they can't stand them and have been trying to get rid of them for ever!

Great score! Congratulations. The barber looks like a 1909, what are the years of the other coins?

The Barber is a 1909s. The Franklins include a 1948, some from the 1950's and a bunch of 1963's. The Walkers are mostly from 1940-1944. I had to go from memory. My computer is in the basement and I have the coins up in the safe already. I didn't get any key dates but a few of the Franklins and one of the Walkers are in very sweet condition.

I just can't believe this hobby. Something really cool has happened almost each week since I started CRH about three months ago. Up to this point I had only hoped to get the silver. Now I have set my sites on actually completing a set of Franklins. Maybe (with a lot of luck) I can complete the Walkers too. Who knows?
