how common is it to find a franklin half?

I have gotten 3 Franklins from buying them in 7-11's or out of cash registers when I saw them. I have never gotten them from rolls, but I usually don't search rolls. I have gotten lots of 40% and a few 1964 from the same convenience store purchases etc.

So, nu?, where is this bank?

 

This is beginners luck

I ordered my first box of halves last month and have opened up 16 rolls so far and found 3 Franklins 53S,59,62D and 2 40% 66,68D , 1 proof 71S and 2 mint collector years 04D & 05D. im taking my time because I'm spending them as i go. Im also looking for DDOs & "no fg" but nothin so far

with everyones searching bad luck maybe some areas are over searched

How many on here gets a box and spend them or do you just dump them back to a bank. ?

Here is my pic

 

I got my first $500.00 box last week and after searching, dumped them back into the coin machine and cashed out .

Not spending the rejects, using it to purchasing another box.

 

how many hours you guys spend for searching the rolls. why not use those hours to do some overtime?. i can have $350.00 for 8 hour overtime. and i can buy some coins.

 

Good point. I came to this conclusion, too.

 

I'll bet the bank detectives are real thrilled about that.

 

So (sorry for changing the subject) -- can you give us any more insight/info about banks ordering 2009 cents?

 

When I was sorting rolls I always said I did it for the fun of it. If it was for the money I'd just get a job. The $/hour worked out to less than $2/hr.

 

Hey hold on just a minute, I just noticed this! I can't let that stand, Cave Troll. The term I used (which was misunderstood by you as "profanity") was rather, as I explained in my reply to your "infraction" PM, an accepted, informal reference to a "bank detective" (as in, "The Bank Dick," W.C. Fields...referencing a bank "Dick Tracy"). Just wanted to clear that up.

 

I understood you Eddie, if no body else did.

 

Yup . . . while I'm not old enough to remember WC Fields' movies when they first came out :smile, I'm old enough to have watched them -- including "The Bank Dick", a classic -- when they used to appear with some frequency on TV in the '60's.

 

Y'all had tv in the sixties?? Wow!! lol. Anyway, I stand corrected, and I've edited my previous edit.

For what it's worth someone complained about the language there so I just removed it. Just assumed it was a comment on the current attitude towards banking executives in todays economy.

I learned something today.

 

Oh, I can see it being misunderstood. It is for sure a term not much in use anymore. (E.g., the Flinstones theme song ending with "we'll have a gay old time", i.e., the gay '90's?) And so, perhaps it needed to be replaced.

And that's one of the reasons we're on this forum!

 

This horse is so dead that it aint breathing anymore...

 

I found 8 40% in one role today. the lady at the bank was like "these are hand roled I don't know why you want them" lol. :rolling: I'm going back the the bank at 9 am tomorow and getting every other role they have.

 

enough already.

 

sory it just means stingy

 

I bought the last 21 rolls I had in my vault at work today cuz I ordered some more to be shipped tomorrow. I went through them tonight and only found 2 40%. I just take them to work and run them back through the changer. I'm still waiting for a Franklin!

 

What are you doing up? Are you in the Central time zone?
