<p>[QUOTE=&quot;scottishmoney, post: 1622814, member: 12789&quot;]One of my supplying banks has been consolidating branches and well, closing several branches that are in close proximity to other branches - these banks merged back about 10 years ago and they are just now getting around to this.&nbsp; So last night I am looking on their website scoping out which branches are closing and notice a branch on a university campus that I had no idea was even there.&nbsp; So this morning I was there bright and early.&nbsp; Obviously no CRH&#039;s have been there in quite sometime.</p><p><br /></p><p>I bought all the &quot;extra&quot; change they had piled up in CWR:</p><p>$15 in cents:</p><p>5 40s and 50s wheats</p><p>1 BU 1968-S</p><p>1 Dime</p><p>2 Canada YH</p><p>1 1967 centennial</p><p><br /></p><p>$100 in nickels</p><p>25 pre-1960s</p><p>1 &#039;44-P Silver</p><p>1 Canada GVI 1942</p><p>1 Canada QEII YH 12 sided</p><p>3 Canada QEII YH round</p><p>14 Canada 65-81</p><p><br /></p><p>$400 in Dimes:</p><p>5 Silver Roosies - 1957-D, 1964(x2) 1964-D(x2)</p><p><br /></p><p>$20 in halves - skink, skank skunk.</p><p><br /></p><p>So I find all these goodies and bag them all up and tippy toe off to my friendly credit union where I dump them.&nbsp; On the way I stop by a candy store since this credit union has been great with taking all my &quot;dumps&quot; and saving goodies for me. I fill up the machine and bring the box of candy in and guess what...</p><p><br /></p><p>The teller is jumping for joy, not sure if it was because of the candy, or that she was gleefully telling me about all the stuff they got last night that she was saving for me.</p><p><br /></p><p>So she brings them out and drops them out on the granite counter, and oh that sweet sound of silver halves rings in my ears:</p><p><br /></p><p>8 40% halves, 1 1965, 2 1966, 2 1967 and 3 1968s</p><p><br /></p><p>And a 1978 Ike, which curiously has been silver plated at sometime.</p><p><br /></p><p>A good day, an improvement after the drought of last week - 14 silvers in one day.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
