<p>[QUOTE=&quot;TexAg, post: 2795562, member: 86167&quot;]Today I was blessed several times over. For months I have waited for a Half Dollar bag to fill on a coin machine at one of my branches.&nbsp; It has been stuck at ~$580 and they would not sell it until it was full. I usually come back through that town on Wednesdays, my day to visit the field. I emailed the kind teller who said the bag was nearly full but lacked $20 from making a full $1000. I just so happened to have mega dump coins with me and quickly offered to fill the remaining $20 and buy the bag. She agreed and when I picked it up she said the bag had been on the machine since February, but that an elderly lady came in last week and dumped a bunch of half dollars she had at the house! She mentioned to me there were &quot;some old ones in there&quot;.&nbsp; I said,&nbsp; &quot;Great because I am building half dollar coin albums for my grandkids and will go through everyone of them.&nbsp; In fact, I collect all denominations.&quot; That prompted her to say the same lady dumped other denominations as well.&nbsp; I offered to buy those bags, but she said they had already sent the filled bags off via courier (rats!). <b><i>Then</i></b> she told me the same lady brought some CWR cent rolls in and somebody had written &quot;Old Pennies&quot; on the wrappers. She brought them out to show me and the wrappers looked really old and sure enough all had the same writing on them.&nbsp; I bought them all, $6 worth. I could see some Wheatie enders. I floated out of that branch on cloud nine and headed to my dump bank with my searched halves. Then I see a lady about to walk in ahead of me with a big zip lock full of rolled coins of various denominations. I told her I was a coin collector and would like to buy them from her.&nbsp; We made the transaction in the parking lot, $129 worth. She was going to cash them out for $1 bills for a garage sale this weekend.&nbsp; I doubt she has searched them. I will post some updates as I go through all these coins...[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
