greed

Postby penny pretty » Sun Aug 26, 2012 6:37 pm

I dont think of myself as greedy,but this hobby brings it out in me. sorting $20 in CWRs I just picked up.I see 15 from one 5 from the other(customer). do the larger amount first, not bad, about 30%. then the 1st roll of the ten left 50% and 5 wheats! 5 wheats in a roll is my record.well the others averaged out at 40% CU. found 8 wheats in one roll(yay new record) and at least 3 wheats in the rest. 42 wheats total in 10 rolls. While I should be happy,I am greedily wishing I had ALL those good rolls. Going back to same branch monday morning to give it a shot.

check to see what other rolls they have while you are there, the person that turned in those pennies might have cashed in some other old coins! ;)
