Wow. Seeing all these coins and boxes and bags searched makes me feel privileged to post something here today! And I feel a bit "ashamed" to say I had a great score today with absolutely NO SKUNKS!
Walked into usual bank and asked my sheepish question "do you have any halves today not in rolls, loose?" I thought I'd get same answer in the last few months - "No, nothing" or to walk to other side near walk-up part of bank and get a few nickel-copper ones.
No, today was different!
One little clerk lady said "I just have 4!". I said, "Oh, I guess I can 'handle' that many - it won't break my wallet or pocket to carry that many." Well, one looked yellow-ish in her hand. So that got me hoping!
Sure enough, all 4 - bought for $2 - were 1964's!!!!!
I looked quickly as I walked out - and more outside in the cold windy rainy weather! It was a clean sweep! 4 out of 4 - 90% 1964's!
Un - real!!!!!
I always ask for loose - never rolls or boxes of rolls.
That made my week! Keep looking everyone! They are out there!
P.S. Turns out I knew the clerk - and know her mother. Small world/small town. I may ask her mom if I can give her my number to call if she has any more for next time!
Good Luck everyone!

Two boxes of halves last week, nothing, two boxes, week before that, nothing. $50 in dimes last week, 1964D dime. If I get skunked on the halves again this week I'm done searching halves, might try $500 in dimes every week instead. I like pulling the marked coins and getting to know my fellow sorters. A new searcher added a red mark underneath Kennedy's nose is what I've noticed of last.
