Someone picked up my1k in halves

I have a bank that orders me about 4k of halves a week; usually in 2 orders. Monday I went in and picked up 2k but they said they had another 1k; I have other banks where I have to pick up $1500 orders the next day so I could not tie up all my money in that one bank.

I told the teller Id be bank Wednesday to pick up the other 1k.

I went in today and they said they had $1500 in halves but some guy came in that AM and bought that all $1500. I was disappointed to say the least.

A couple of weeks ago the teller told me that they never use to order halves until I started requesting them.

So, I feel like I laid the groundwork for this bank to order halves.

The sad thing is the $2k I had picked up Monday all had good boxes no skunks.

After the news, I went to another pick up bank and picked up my 1k order.

Unfortunately, they were both skunks :-(

Guess I am going to just have to take everything they have on hand when I go in. Just a hard pill to swallow right now on those missed boxes.

So i took thogey's advice, sat down with a box and a case. . . figured i'd check the late night silver prices and lo and behold - some upward action :roll:

maybe someday you can return the favor - buy more boxes from the bank than you ordered - take some of their order.

Thanks Eric for the kind words :-)

Well I just have to remember there is only so much I can sort on my own; guess I have to share a little.

I think the half gods are looking down on me. I went to a Wells that cut me off from ordering and asked if they had any loose halves and they said no. She said though they had ordered a full box and it had been sitting there a while and she would give me the full box this time since she wanted to get rid of them.

Not the box of the year but I found:

a '64, 4 really nice proofs 80, 81, and two 82's
