My first attempt at hunting halves

Postby madman326 » Thu Mar 15, 2012 8:48 pm

got out of work early today since it was so nice(early spring here in NE ohio) and figured i would hit a bank that has been good to me with CWRs of dimes.
they only had $100 in dimes so for the first time i asked if they had any halves. the teller said someone had just dropped off $124 in unwrapped halves. she really wanted these things out of her bank(not sure why).
so i took them all and though i didnt get any 90%, i did score seven 40%s. sorted these in 70 degree weather! and now im going to celebrate with a good beer!

Congrats! That's a GREAT start actually. If you read threads on here... there are people who have searched $10K + and STILL haven't found any! Your'e one of us now! Happy hunting! :D

Yep, that's a good score, 1 oz. for 3.50. I'm into three boxes straight finding nothing, but, that's what I'm used to finding so I'm ok with it. She wanted them gone so she would not have to deal with them, nobody uses them or asks for them, except for people like you and me.
