I was at one of my bank branches today collecting $2 bills. The teller asked me what else I collect, and I told her pretty much everything. She asked me if I'd like to have $90 in halves. I hadn't planned on "trading" that much of my cash on coins today, but after some thought, I said OK. Seems like I got a good variety of years. And a vast range of grades. Many are in nice condition, and some are quite worn. But, only 1 silver (from 1967). In case anyone was curious, I've included a pdf of just this CRH from my catalog. Disclaimer: When I say "price paid" and "$0.00" in the catalog that just means I traded cash for the coins. Thanks for looking/reading.
1 40% in $90 is actually not a bad ratio when you consider that people buy up $500 boxes and hope to find one silver. My last search was a mere $40 worth earlier this week and turned up a 1966 and a 1969-D. CRH is addictive.
That is a great start! Soon you'll be driving by a bank thinking, "Do I have time to stop and see if they have any halves today?"
it's definitely a form of gambling hence its additive, but at least you won't loose the house doing it
I did it with pennies when I still had a job. Here in my part of East Texas you don't see a whole bunch of Philadelphia mint... Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G890A using Tapatalk
I actually have the phone numbers for the banks in my driving radius of 20 miles. I call them before i hit the road to save time.
When I first researched about coins only 6 months ago, little did I know how quickly it would become a huge routine. it really is fascinating...and addictive.
