So I hit a bank before that I don't normally go to and picked up all the halves they had ($260.00). Plus, the teller was cool and we exchanged a few wheats for zincolns, one-for-one. I went home right away so I could sort and dump right away. I hit the jackpot..practically every roll had silver in it. It had my best score to date:
Franklins 90% - 3 (one worth $27)
Kennedy 90% - 7
Kennedy 40% - 17 (one is BU and will go in the Dansco album)
1976 Silver proof (90%)
1976 Clad Proof
1990 Clad Proof
45 BU's or almost BU's (various years). Many for my Dansco, plus will roll the others
2004-P for the Dansco
Total 6.4 oz silver for an estimated $200 at today's spot prices.
Whew...OK, I'm done.
Man, I had never felt anything like it. And only for $260 in halves. Now I know the feeling that you guys get when you're pulling 1-2K in halves a week and you hit a big score. It only makes me want that silver even more.From another bank, I scored another 2 of 40% on only $50 of halves (I keep track of what I get at each bank).
I also ended up hoarding almost $100 in Customer nickel rolls, plus $40 in customer pennies..hopefully, I will find something in them too. My backpack was so heavy with full boxes/bags of coins, I had to clear it out twice.
Finally, I went to my one bank where all the tellers know me and I surprised them with some cookies and chocolate. They were very happy. They have always been nice to me, so I decided to return the favor.
So I took the chic out for dinner as a surprise, plus picked up a bottle of nice wine. Needless to say, she was surprised and happy.
Anyway, I just had to tell somebody, so I thought I would post here.
Hey, my 100th post! How cool.
P.S. Happy New Year (opening the Chianti bottle now @ 11:30 EST)
