Message:: [QUOTE="Moonshine, post: 1128607, member: 26632"]Nice finds Merc and bobbeth. 4 loose halves today and 1 was a '64.  I've been doing about 3-4 boxes a week.  I've had my ups and downs.  One recent box had 2-3 Walkers, 2-3 Franklins and 2-3 '64s...it also had 10 40%ers along with almost a full roll worth of 1969's that are in AU condition.  At the end of the month I'll post my quarterly results. I put up a roll of 40%ers on ebay and am going to take the proceeds and open an account at 2 of my local banks which have no minimums or monthly fees.  Each bank seems to have other branches throughout the state.  I am going to work on building relationships with as many head tellers in banks as I can hoping that they will hold any halves (and anything else interesting) that come through.  I had a recent situation at a bank near where I work that helped me make this decision to open these accounts.  I stopped at a bank near work in NYC and asked if they had any halves.  Teller #1 said she didn't and asked teller #2 who said she had 19 halves.  Teller #1 asked me how many I wanted so I took out a $10 bill and said I'd take them all.  Teller #2 asks if I have an account to which I said 'no' and she said she couldn't give them to me.  I got a bit steamed and asked what she was going to do with them and if she was going to send them back.  She said it was an internal policy.  Ugh.[/QUOTE]
