Message:: [QUOTE="jwevansv, post: 118984, member: 5162"]New to this site as well.  I have caught the coin collecting bug again after many years away from it.  Boy did I miss a lot of coin searching during that time from all the great "finds" I have been reading about in this thread. I hope my boss doesnt find out how much time I spend on this site reading and learning more and more about collecting.  I have been to 4 different banks asking for rolls of halves to search through and they immediately say no. Two of these banks were banks I have accounts with.  I then ask if they would have any in the vault and get another immediate NO, as if the tellers know exactly what is in their vault!  Maybe they do, but I doubt it.  I think they are just too lazy to get off their butt and check for me.  So, I had one of my banks order 2 boxes and the other order one box.  I should get the 2 boxes this coming Tuesday, Mar. 21st and am looking forward to posting my great finds to all here, since I am sure you enjoy hearing about everyone else's finds as much as I do.  I did pick up $7.50 in halves from a bank yesterday and all were 70's, 4 of which were Bicentennial Halves.  I will post next week.  BTW I am from Houston, Tx.[/QUOTE]
