<p>[QUOTE=&quot;clorox, post: 1385502, member: 36209&quot;]That&#039;s above average for sure, even taking just the 40%ers! With 9 90%ers also I think that qualifies as a monster find! Drop your buddy one or two of those as a tip and get him to keep giving you the good stuff <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie2" alt=";)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>For me (sorry for writing a novel here, it&#039;s been an interesting day):</p><p><br /></p><p>Yesterday I finished off two more boxes of nickels, found three more wars (43 P, 43 S in great condition, 45 D), two buffalo (36 and dateless type 1), and a handful with some nice toning.</p><p><br /></p><p>Today I tried to dump the nickels at one of my dump banks -- bad idea! They wouldn&#039;t even look inside the two full boxes, immediately saying they had to be sent off for counting. They did let me cash out the remaining 30-odd rolls of nickels and five rolls of halves, but only after I wrote my account number on each. Note to self: Keep it under 100 rolls per dump! And stay away from that branch for a while!</p><p><br /></p><p>After that little fiasco, I decided to enjoy the rest of my free day by calling around and dropping in for halves. First stop: A branch of my bank that I haven&#039;t hit up said that someone&#039;s been order boxes of halves, but hasn&#039;t picked up the latest for a while! Sounds promising, right? WRONG! Re-taped flat box filled with nothing but CWR clads! By the tenth roll or so I was doing nothing but a cursory glance at the edges and getting not-so-cursory glances from a park ranger in his cruiser. He seemed both suspicious and disturbed at all the fumbling around I was doing alone in the car. Fortunately he was more interested in his lunch, because that conversation would have turned my day from bad to worse. Crisis averted!</p><p><br /></p><p>Buoyed by a tenuous yet successful dump of all 50 rolls (key plays: didn&#039;t bring in the box and &quot;I have more in the car, is that okay?&quot;), I decided to strike out onto some virgin territory for me. A small town and its four banks was up first. Not much in terms of volume, maybe $15 loose overall, but pretty good in yield, and GREAT in customer service! Netted my only silver on the day: a &#039;36 quarter I spotted in the tray and a &#039;69 half. Also picked up some tips on which tellers have been hoarding the halves and when they work next <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie2" alt=";)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> Definitely will be heading back!</p><p><br /></p><p>Scooted over to the next town, a medium-sized suburb with a big commercial district and a ton of banks. It was getting later in the day and busier, so I didn&#039;t have as much time to chat, but I charmed out all the info I could. I got a couple leads later this week, including a teller with an Ike stash! Totals for town two: 21 CWR or re-wraps, 3 BWR, and some more handfuls of loose coin. Skunk except for a &#039;76 S clad proof. Oh, and 30 Ikes! With a promise of more tomorrow!</p><p><br /></p><p>TL;DR</p><p>573 CWR, 3 BWR: One &#039;76 proof half</p><p>About $65 loose: One &#039;69 half, one &#039;36 quarter, thirty Ikes</p><p>Morning: Frustration</p><p>Afternoon: All smiles, baby![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
