<p>[QUOTE=&quot;cvicisso, post: 1358971, member: 29382&quot;]Picked up two boxes of halves today, but after opening a few rolls, and examining the rest, I noticed that these were just like 2 boxes I received two weeks ago: ALL 1998-P!!!&nbsp; Every single coin.&nbsp; That&#039;s four boxes now - $2k worth of halves - all exactly the same date and mintmark.&nbsp; Obviously, they never made it to circulation, and this is what they put on the truck when my CU ordered them from the FR.&nbsp; But wow - VERY discouraging.&nbsp; Has anyone else experienced this?&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>On the brighter side, I just dumped over $900 in rolls at my dump bank without having to go through anything - so not much work involved (for me anyway).&nbsp; On the way back to work, I stopped at a bank I haven&#039;t been to in a while and asked if they had halves or Ikes (I always carry an Ike in my pocket now since most tellers seem to be too young to know what they are!).&nbsp; she said I was in luck - someone just dumped off 3 Ikes and she had $7.50 in halves.&nbsp; I only had a $10 on me, so I told her to just keep one of the halves.&nbsp; THIS IS A TRUE STORY: I couldn&#039;t see the coins clearly enough, but she [literally] said, &quot;ok, I&#039;ll put the yucky one back&quot; - thinking she was being nice.&nbsp; My spidey-senses thankfully kicked in and I asked politely, &quot;pardon me miss, but could I trouble you to check the date on the - eh - &#039;yucky&#039; one please?&quot;&nbsp; You can no doubt smell this one coming: 1964!&nbsp; It turned out to be the only keeper (plus the Ikes).&nbsp; I&#039;m glad I asked! <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
