<p>[QUOTE=&quot;-jeffB, post: 1262666, member: 27832&quot;]Stopped by my favorite half-searching bank this afternoon, only to find that the halves that had been sitting in an absent teller&#039;s box the last few times I visited had gone out to someone else earlier in the week. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie3" alt=":(" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> But the friendliest teller said, &quot;I did get two good ones, but I bought them for myself -- but I can show them to you.&quot;</p><p><br /></p><p>I was thinking that she&#039;d spotted a couple of Franklins or something. But instead, she brought out:</p><p><br /></p><p>One 1936.</p><p><br /></p><p>One <b>1836</b>. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie9" alt=":eek:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>(Take <i>that</i>, roll-searchers -- it&#039;s not even going to fit in a roll, because of the bigger diameter!)</p><p><br /></p><p>She said a convenience-store operator she knew brought them in, and was going to give them to her; she explained that she couldn&#039;t take them as gifts, but she could buy them from him, and that&#039;s just what she did.</p><p><br /></p><p>The Walker was in VG-F, a nice specimen to find in circulation. I have no experience grading Capped Bust coins, but based on my memory and PhotoGrade, I&#039;m going to guess VG-F details, harshly cleaned. Nothing that I&#039;d turn down at face value, or even at melt value, let me tell you.</p><p><br /></p><p>I chatted her up a little bit about whether she&#039;d be interested in selling any of her finds to me (outside the place of business, presumably). I know she&#039;d gotten a Morgan from an old lady some time ago, and I suspect she may be intercepting other interesting coins as well.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
