This stuff just doesn't happen to me...

Did a little bank-hopping at lunch. One bank had 5 rolls, so I bought 'em. Looking them over on way out and I see writing on one roll...no way! OK, OK - probably just where some CRHer re-used a wrapper...don't get your hopes up.

Look in one end - an eagle! Woo-hoo! Other end...another eagle! Open the roll as soon as I get in the van...Walkers, Bens, oh my!

There were 7 Walkers, 8 Bens, and one 40% Kennedy. So, it was 4 coins short. Hmmm, think I should go and ask for my money back? Yeah, right.

Other 4 rolls were skunks...

HH,

Congratulations! That's a pretty good payoff for just 5 rolls.

There is no better feeling than to open a roll, see silver, dump it in you hand and see all or mostly silver. Congrats.

Nice one. I really like finding those Ladies. What a rush. Especially rolls with writing on them. Gets the blood pumping.

That reminded me of a roll I got when I first started. Same scenario. Marked silver and a $20 roll to boot. Eagle on one end, Ben on the other. Needless to say I was hooked.....and still looking for that next "dream roll".........
