Today's "errand" run (02-21-2007)
I mentioned in the previous post (02-20-2007) about my son's appendectomy. Well today after he got home, I had to run to the store to pick up some things (pain medicine, etc.). Figured I might as well cash in the rejects from the previous day's half dollar boxes as well.
While cashing in my rejects, I found 2 Eisenhower dollars left in the self-serve counting machine (1974-D, 1977-D).
Ended stopping by a few other banks as well.
I now have a lot of coins to open over the next few days while I am at home:
Pennies:
Picked up 3 more boxes of pennies (Now I have 4 left to open).
Nickels:
Picked up 3 boxes of nickels. (all remain unopened)
Dimes:
Picked up 1 box of dimes which I opened when tonight
1 silver Roosevelt (1962) <--fills a hole in my book only 8 left to complete the book. (though most came from buying a small personal collection last year).
Scanned through 112 clear plastic rolls at the bank(s), bought 1 which produced a 1960-D Roosevelt.
One teller sold me the 1963-D Roosevelt that was in their tray as well.
Quarters:
Scanned through 45 clear plastic rolls at the bank(s), bought 2 rolls which produced:
1 silver quarter (1961-D) <--#2 on the year
1 Canadian quarter (2001-P) <-- I knew it was Canadian, but the tellers were asking too many questions, so I just said most of the time the ones I spot to buy are Canadian (and then showed them what I meant).....
Opened the other roll later.
Halves:
Purchased 1 sealed box of halves plus 39 other rolls and $29 in loose half dollars.
The loose half dollars had:
2 - 40% Kennedy (1967, 1969-D)
The 39 additional rolls produced:
2 - 90% Kennedy (1964, 1964-D)
5 - 40% Kennedy (1967(5))
1 Proof Kennedy (1976-S)
The sealed box remains unopened until tomorrow (per my son's request). Though from a quick visual of the ends of the rolls there were 2 - 40% Kennedy and 1 - 90% Kennedy showing so I am optimistic.
Also picked up 2 - $1 Silver Certificates (1935F, 1957B)
By the way, while I was at the US Bank in Chanhassen. I asked to buy the bag of half dollars from the coin machine. They said someone had just tried to buy it from them recently and got rather upset when he couldn't. Sounded like it may have been someone on here since they were also looking for red seal $2 bills. If that is someone on here, FYI, I was told by the tellers that one of that bank's regular customers comes in and exchanges for all the silver halves in every bag and this bag had already been picked over. That and it was loaded with foreign coins so it the count would have been significantly short. At least the teller had 2 silver halves in her tray, so the stop was still worthwhile.
I'll update later on any findings from the boxes listed above. Though the halves have me most intrigued.
