<p>[QUOTE="toyz4geo, post: 620840, member: 15183"]I am a flight attendant and so I get to go to a lot of places, and when I can, I hit local banks to see what I might find. I have been asking for 2009 coinage as of late, but I am sure you all know the answers I get to that one. I was in LA yesterday and after asking about the 2009 stuff (the tellers have been nice and helpful for the most part), I asked if they had any halves. Turned out they did...2 rolls, so I bought them. The first roll, a rewrap, had the usual ho hum circulated clad stuff. The second roll was bank wrapped with only "half dollars" on it. It was Heads/tails and each end was a Bicentennial half. Could it be? I tore the wrapper just enough to reveal the edges inside...yep, a bank wrapped roll of 33 year old uncirculated Bicentenial half dollars. I thought, wow, that doesn't happen too often! Just thought I would share. Thanks.<img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie8" alt=":D" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
