UPDATE3 -I think I broke a record for CRH halves? 669 -40% Kennedy's today!!!!!

Found another 40%er in the loose rolls - thought my wife searched them all-

I'm still shaking.
Yesterday I found 125 keepers- mostly from 1 bank.
http://forum.treasurenet.com/index.php/topic,72332.0.html
They still had some but I had spent $400 and didn't have any more cash.
I went back today and asked what they had in the vault - $650.
$480 in an "old" box and $170 in other rolls.
The teller told me they were going to turn them into the reserve today after they saw all those halves laying around that I turned them on to.
She was glad to sell them to me as I watchd her cross them off the Brinks list.
I asked her how long they were there and she said " as long as I've worked here."
"How long have you worked here?"
She said "A long time"

I had a client to visit and stashed them behind the seat. As I was rolling down the road I HAD to check out a roll from the old box. I pulled one out and there was 1968 written on it. No way! Sure enough- it was a whole roll of 68's!!!

After the visit with the client I went to a parking lot and started pulling out the rolls - they all had coin dates on them.

33 rolls had 65 to 69 on them. I couldn't drive for a minute....
I checked randomly and yep! The dates matched the contents!
1 roll of 65's said NU 65 and I looked at the open end and took one out- yeah buddy- all uncirculated!
Another shotgun roll says -new 76.
The 17 other rolls had 11 more 40% I stopped at another bank later and raided the tills - 4 more 40%.
I will post more pictures of the piles opened as I get to them!!!

UPDATE- AS is was going through them - I found some 76's (17) in the 66's and 66's (10) in the 76's - 675-7=668.

*It is a strange and foreign concept; albeit not unwelcome to have to cull clad out of silver instead of the other way around!!!

Here are the totals and new pictures of the unwrapped hoard:
65X77, 66X64, 67X230,68X176 & 69X121.
There are many BU's among them and an unopened roll of 65's!!!!

I guess errors?
Are there any known errors for those dates?
Also - I haven't looked at them individually yet - maybe a 90% or 2 in there or some proofs?

I know what you mean - 10 in a day won't be that exciting anymore - but I'll take it!!!
