I "Walked" into the "Barber" shop!!

[jtlee321]

So I have been out of the coin roll hunting game for about 9 months. Last week I decided to test the waters again and ordered 16 boxes of Halves. Well I got a total of 27 40% and 1 90% from those boxes. Then today I dumped the last of the Halves at a bank I had not visited in a while. While I was there I scored a 40% discount to the local "Barber" shop for my buddies "Franklin" and "Kennedy" just for "Walking" in.. I can't believe I finally scored the Home Run and pulled a Barber (My first), Walker, Franklin and Kennedy out of the same $500.00 bag. It came straight off of the coin counter. As soon as I saw the teller set the bag down I could spy a silver edge. When she handed me the bag I noticed a Barber sitting in it. I quickly asked if I could get the bag of Dimes and Quarters from the machine as soon as they drop. She wrote a note with my name and number and taped them to the bag. I think I will make a trip in tomorrow with some dimes and quarters to top them off. I don't think I can wait for them to drop naturally. Well here is what I scored out of that bag. I will be posting photo's tomorrow of the coins. I think someone dumped a small collection at that bank. I will post the outcome of the dime and quarter bag here.

That is unbelievable! What an awesome score!

<JEALOUS>Congratulations!</JEALOUS>

Seriously though, I would love to see the photos, and the results from the rest of the bag.

Very nice.

I've done 750 boxes since I started and not a Barber in sight.

I was expecting a joke. Two blondes walked into a bar. You would have thought the second one would have ducked.

Which bank was this?

[fb101]

congrats on the nice finds.
I've never been able to get my hands on the half bags unless they're from someone's dump bank.

[knibloe]

Nice. I've gotten one barber in about 4 years of searching.

[PennysaverCP]

Very nice. That'll put a smile on your face for a while.

[Cu Penny Hoarder]

Do you know how rare it is to find that?

Where do you live... a small town or a city?

Lucky bastard!

[twentybux]

Very nice score! Congrats!

Someone cashed in daddies coin collection.

Well i picked up the bags of dimes and quarters and nickles and nothing. Just 1 silver dime. Those Halves must have been sitting in the bottom of that bag for a while. Long enough for the quarters and dimes to have been dropped and shipped off anyway. Oh well, can't complain about hitting for the cycle!! And as promised here is a photo of the coins.

Pay dirt alright. Great hunting. I am still on sabbatical. I could only get boxes locally and I think that the coin service providers were culling the silver.

Thanks for sharing. I did find a few Barbers after over a million halves searched. You have to play to get paid.
