A classic customer excuse for why he had halves to turn in

[Pennysaved]

There is someone in my area sorting halves. he has an interesting way of turning them in. He doesn't open the roll entirely; he just opens the top then folds it closed like you would a traditional wrapper.

Unfortunately, I sometimes end up with his halves that he has sorted.

Today, I went into one of my dump banks and they said they had over $600 in halves.

I asked them if someone turned them in

They said the guy said he had obtained all those halves because he was making a sculpture out of halves.

I figured I would take the chance; when the brought them out they were in the original bank wrappings but had been folded at the top.

I knew right away that this had been someone looking for silver

All the rolls were skunks; I thought his excuse was kind of funny and that the tellers actually believed that story.

I feel your pain, man, I have a new sorter half and penny sorter in my area (not sure if they're the same person).

Sculpture huh? Make sure to drop off a lot more halves at that bank so he will have more to sculpt.

Yeah if he is sculpting tell them you want the real art not the rejects.
