<p>[QUOTE=&quot;BCArthur, post: 1750847, member: 40467&quot;]<font face="Calibri"><span style="color: #000000">Took two boxes of halves to a new dump bank. Ask the teller if I could exchange them. “Sure,” she says, “let me check.” She comes back a few moments later with “We’ve got $800 in halves for you.” “Oh,” I say, “I just wanted to exchange them for cash, but I’ll take your halves. Do you have any loose ones?” “I’ve got $12 worth in my drawer.” As she looks at them, I catch a glimpse of silver. “Do you collect them?” she asked. “I look for proofs and dates and foreign. I like foreign coins. And finding silver is a bonus.” “I’ll get you that $800 if you wouldn’t mind waiting over there” (as she pointed to the seating area). I left to go sit down and she waves me back to pick up 1 opened box and 3 bundles of CWR’s. “Would you like a cart?” “No thank you,” I say, as a take what she’s handing me. “You’re welcome. Have a nice day.” I noticed the box was opened and was thinking she just handed me back one of the boxes I had just handed her. “Oh, and could I also get the ones in your drawer?” I reminded her. You shouldn’t have seen her demeanor change. It was such a sad look as if I’d taken candy from a baby. Anyway, there was 1-40% and 3-90% in her loose change and all the $800 had been previously searched. So let’s say Box #38 and #39 (eh) were skunks. That leaves the silver skunk streak at 15 boxes.</span></font></p><p><font face="Calibri"><span style="color: #000000">Then went to my usual bank and asked for $1000 in halves. Got another 2 boxes marked “For Mike.” I had received my second best box ever from boxes marked “For Mike” back on page 1287 of this thread. </span></font></p><p><font face="Calibri"><span style="color: #000000">My First Quadfecta! <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie8" alt=":D" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /><img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie8" alt=":D" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /><img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie8" alt=":D" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /><img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie8" alt=":D" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> </span></font></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><font face="Calibri"><span style="color: #000000"><font face="Calibri"><span style="color: #000000">[ATTACH]275321[/ATTACH]</span></font></span></font></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><font face="Calibri"><span style="color: #000000">Box #40 of Halves: 21-90%! 10-Kennies, 5-Bennies, 5 Walkers and my first ever Barber!
