<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Check_M_All, post: 163930, member: 6661&quot;]I have difficulty getting the banks around here to order boxes of halves for me. I have accounts at three banks now just in the hopes that I can get one of them to reconsider. I&#039;m desperate for boxes because I&#039;m not the only searcher in the area.</p><p><br /></p><p>At a couple of branches, they always seem annoyed when I ask for rolls of anything... like I&#039;m putting them out of their way. It used to bother me, but then I thought about it. I&#039;m a builder/handyman. If I go to someone&#039;s house to fix their kitchen sink and they tell me that there toilet is clogged up something nasty, well it&#039;s my job and how I earn my living, so take me to it and I&#039;ll fix it gladly... Same should go for them. So I don&#039;t worry about it anymore. I want coins.</p><p><br /></p><p>This morning I went out on a roll search. I decided on a bank that I&#039;d had fair luck at once before. I asked for half dollars. They had $3.50&nbsp; loose and $170 in the vault. I said I&#039;d take them all. They put the loose ones on the counter and there sits a 1967, a 1964, and a 1951 Franklin. I&#039;m getting excited. Well, out of the vault comes the teller with 17 rolls. As I&#039;m picking them up I notice dates written in pen on the side of about half of them. I&#039;ve seen this guys work before and he&#039;s good... So I prepare to be disappointed. </p><p>I dig into one of the unmarked rolls. There&#039;s a few 40% in there. Check another... the same plus a Walking Liberty. At that point I decided just to check the dated rolls first and save the others for last. As suspected there&#039;s nothing in the dated rolls. So back I go to the others. </p><p><br /></p><p>In the end I was very happy. I&#039;ve never had a find even close to this before.</p><p><br /></p><p>4 - Walking Liberties</p><p>2 - Franklins</p><p>3 - 64 Kennedys</p><p>2 - 65s</p><p>6 - 66s</p><p>28 -67s</p><p>9 - 68s</p><p>3 - 69s</p><p><br /></p><p>It was a good day. I&#039;m thinking of proposing to that teller next time I visit.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
