Thank you very much, and I'm in New York City.

Thank God you didn't score this find on the West Coast. I would be grieving for weeks. Glad for you one of us found them and not some teller. Gives hope to the rest of us... although I strongly suspect that box 6 of yours may well be an all-time record since Country has been tracking these. 83 oz! Amazing. :o :shock: :? Dude... you found more in one day then I found in the entire last year. :oops:

Well , well , well....... It was my turn today. Still by no means a cardsncoins super day. But for me....pretty darn good.

Teller- "thank goodness you came in. I picked up some coins the other day from a guy, and I have been keeping them for you."

My mind- Oh god someone call 911.....the doc ain't breathing......snap out of it.....say something Rodie.

Me- "uuh cool...What do you have?"

She presents me with $7.50 face in gov mint plastic and 2x2's along with my box of nicks and pennies.

Here is what was in that $7.50:
1-1973-s 40% Ike unc
2-1976-s 40% Ike unc
2-1976-s 40% Kenn Unc
2-1976-s 40% Wash Unc

1-proof clad Ike
2-Unc clad Ikes

Man, I love my bank gals...they are the best.
