This Week's Pick Up

[galenrog]

I picked up my first order from Key Bank today. The order was 2 boxes halves, 3 dimes, 1 nickel, 6 cents. The take so far:

Halves - both skunks
Dimes - 3 skunks. Most coins were 2010 and 2011
Nickels - keeping '59 and earlier, 17 from the 50s', 7 from the 40s' including 2 war nickels, 1 buffalo, 2 newer Canadian.
Cents - not yet searched, waiting on the ryedale that I will order later this week.

I did score the following just by asking for halves and dollars: 1 $20 roll of '64 Kennedys'. one end was open so I put on the gloves and checked them out. All appear to be uncirculated. The exposed faces at either end look pretty worn, but the unexposed faces are outstanding.

My credit union that had promised me the bags from the lobby coin counter changed their mind. Such is life.

Nothing else to report...yet.

Too bad those boxes you searched did not turn up anything good, but I would still consider it a great week with those 64's!! Are they customer wrapped, or bank rolled? What do you mean, a $20 roll? I thought halves were $10 rolls?

20 face in 64 kens makes up for those skunks and then some!

The $20 roll was from a no longer existing coin and cash management company, similar to those that service banks today. One end had obviously been opened (folded instead of crimped). I am going through the nickels now and have 5 more 50s' and one buffalo. Back to the grind.
