Merry Christmas to me Found a Proof Franklin

Postby Pennysaved » Thu Dec 23, 2010 2:46 pm

I have today and tomorrow off so I have been going around to banks turning in my halves and picking up my orders

I have one Chase where she only wants to order me halves once a month so she ordered me 4k and I went to pick them up.

First box - a '64 JFK, '66 JFK, 80 S clad proof

2nd box - dud

3rd box - My mega box of the day
a 1963 PROOF FRANKLIN -- some surface scratches but mirror finish still showing
3 circulated Franklins
2 90% JFKs
20 40% JFKs

4th box - another cool silver proof 1969 S
3 90% JFKs
2 40% JFKs

I have not gone through the other boxes yet

Still havent gotten over the proof Franklin

My other boxes were duds

However, I went to another Chase to pick up my halves and she said she accidentally forgot to order them.

She had $45 face to sell me that someone turned in

Just in that $45, I found:

8 40% halves
1 90% JFK

Please send me some of that luck! Just searched $400 for naught.

you inspired me to go get my box.
it was someone elses pick up bank,
they said they order a box a week for 1 customer, I got his box.
I found 1 90% 1964 half.
when i dumped them,
another teller asked "if those were all halves", and then got on the phone to tell a customer.
somebody just brought in a whole bunch of halves" like they wanted customer coins.
We can ignore reality but we can’t ignore the consequences of ignoring reality.


The truth will set you free,
but first it's really going to piss you off.
