Will post a pic tomorrow, but here's the day...
Went across the street to a bank I don't deal with, they exchanged my $100 of halves for 10 more rolls, and I also traded in $90 of the new dollars for $90 of quarters.
Walked back home, not one good coin! Got in the car.
Hit 7 banks within 30 miles, and only found 2 banks with any halfs, 2 each at each bank! BUT 3 were 40% Kennedys, so I bought them. Had $188.00 in cash (One bank I had stopped at bought all of them for a customer who loves to go thru them, plus took the quaters (He's gonna be disappointed!)
Anyhow, saw a Community bank on the way home and stopped. Asked if they had any halfs, and the head teller said she had $240.00 (maybe $260.00) of them. So... I bought $188 bucks worth which was all the cash I had left.
She went in the vault and brought out about $120, and went back to get the rest. Now get this. All but the last 4 were in one type of hand wrapped wrapper, the others, including some of the second run she made, was in a diffeent type of hand wrapper.
She counted out the $180, and opened one of the second batch, to give me the remaining $8, and my eyes popped as they were all silver.
Got my butt out of there fast and went to a parking lot and started opening wrappers like mad. I FORCED myself to do the wrapper type that I only had 4 of last... the first batch had nothing but 70-84 Kennedys. Got to the last 4 and was shocked when the very first one (of the funny wrappers) was also 70-84 Kennedys. BUT the last 3 were all 65-69 40% silver! (except for about 5)
So I went home with 61 40% coins for the day!
You can bet I will be at their door to buy the other $40-60 bucks worth on Monday morning!
Will post a pic of them tomorrow.
Moral of the story, two days, 2-90%, 88-40% WOO-HOO!
Good night guys, sweet dreams!
