Howdy diggers,
Did I mention we have a foot of snow on the ground:huh: :frozen:
I went to 13 banks today. Since it is Saturday, they are only open 9-12 so I had to move quickly! The first 6 banks said they had no halves. Bank #7 had 2 rolls so I bought them. When I got to the car, I opened them up. The first roll had a 1967 and the other had a 1965. Two rolls, two silvers! Another bank (#9, I think) sold me $100 worth. She had more, but said she couldn't let them all go. I ended up getting a 1966 and a 1967 out of them. As a bonus, I found a 1990 S proof too! :happydance01:
I was headed over to the auto center and saw a bank right next door. It was 5 minutes to 12:00 so I figured what the heck and dashed in. The teller was getting ready to close up and I asked her if she had any halves. She pointed to her tray and said all I have is what has come in today. I looked at her tray (the coins are all on edge) and I could clearly see 2 silvers! I told her I will buy them all. She had exactly 20 so I quickly gave her a $10 bill. I didn't look at them til I got to the car, but one was a 1964 and the other was a 1967.
3 banks told me they couldn't give me any halves because I didn't have an account there. :mad:
Here is a couple pics, thanks for looking and HH!!
