    Went to the bank today to see if I could get some Madison rolls. Well I stopped at my bank to get some cash and thought I'd go in and see if they had any Ikes or Halves and to my supprise they had a lot of halves the teller asked if I wanted bank wrapped or customer wrapped. I opted for bank wrapped and got 8 rolls of OBW 1998P halves. What to do with these?
    Well the story does not stop here for I always go to the bank across the street to get the new dollar rolls because my bank never has them. Well I go over there and ask if they have any Madison rolls and they were not aware they had come out and said they would order them. I then proceeded to ask if they had any Ikes or halve and was told they had 8 rolls of halves. I asked for the halves and she pulled out a tray with 8 old, old paper rolls. As she handed them to me I saw one roll that had old yellowed tape on the end with a tag reading 1969D. My heart skipped a beat as I walked out to the car.
    You probably guessed! Nothing but regular issue kennedies! No silver!:mad:
    One observation with these halves and the last several rolls I've gotten. A lot of the halves have the edge worn smooth and some are from the 90's. Whats causing all these edges to ware smooth? It can't be from circulation! Just an observation.

    I guess they are from a casino.

    Bruce is correct, those old slots wore the heck out of the rims.
