*Official December 2010 Half Dollars and Other Coins

[uthminsta]

Made a quick trip to the other 3 banks I could think of, and got a total of $30 in skunk halves and one clad Ike:
1. No, we don't have a single half in the bank, but we'll certainly give you a call if we get any!
2. We don't have any halves but we do have one silver dollar. I'll take it. D'oh! That's not silver. Oh, and we're not supposed to sell stuff to you if you don't have an account. What?!?
3. Let me go look. Yeah, we have $30. Do you want ALL of those? Wow. And sure, we'll call you if we get any more.

And... haha... there was a voice mail at the house by the time I got home... "Sir, we don't normally get any halves, but right after you came in, we got $18 worth... so you can come get them whenever."

Apparently the ENTIRE town had $180 in halves. At least that means there probably aren't any other sorters here.

The 1967 was in the next to the last roll I opened. Just about every roll in this box had over half of the halves marked with a colored magic marker, I'm use to marked halves like this but not this many also about 40 halves had 10-1in black marker on them along with different numbers.

Slow day...

I'm not much of a sorter. I get the occasional $10 in cents to look through with my daughters, but I'm definitely not the type of sorter many people on this site are. I've been reading these posts in the last few weeks, and looking at the highlights from about 2 million dollars worth of halves sorted this year. Wow. Some astronomical stuff has been discovered! That got me thinking I'd sure like to find me something...

Today's my day off. So this afternoon, while the family was doing some errands, I said hey I wanna pull into this bank here and see if I can get some of the new Lincoln dollars, and maybe see if they've got some halves I could buy.

They had $70 worth, and the lady said, "I'll be so glad to get rid of them. There was a guy who used to come in here and buy a lot, but he hasn't been in for quite some time. I've had these for a long time! Do you REALLY want ALL $70? Oh, good gracious, thank you!"

Haha... she should have opened them.

Roll one... four 40%ers.
Roll two... five 40%ers.
Roll three... five 40%ers.
Roll four... four 40%ers.
Roll five... two 40%ers.
Roll six... three 40%ers and a 90% Kennedy.
Those six were customer wrapped. The seventh roll was Brinks wrapped, and was a skunk.

So you better believe I went to every other bank I could think of, in my small town. One had none. The next one's lobby was closed and for some reason the drive through didn't have a window on the bank, just the ones with the "tubes." The next had none. The next had $80 (skunk, all Brinks rolls). The next had none. The next one was closed.

So now I have the fever, and my town doesn't have any halves!

All told, in $150 searched, I found 23 40% halves and one 90%:
1964x1
1965x3
1966x2
1967x12
1968x4
1969x2

WELCOME!!!

Finding SILVER is nice....

Remember - always take them all and NEVER bring them back where you got them. Rules of the road...
