<p>[QUOTE=&quot;heuvy31, post: 1796492, member: 42173&quot;]I went into a bank today and asked if they had any halves.&nbsp; The teller said they had one roll which she pulled out for me.&nbsp; As I gave her my money, she says she thinks the roll of halves feels small and she is going to count them to make sure they are all there.&nbsp; She dumps them out and says the look like they are brand new.&nbsp; Then it happens!!!! She proceeds to count them one coin at a time holding the obverse and reverse of each coin between her fingers and then placing each counted coin in the palm of her other hand <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie4" alt=":mad:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />.&nbsp; I wanted to say something but was afraid of sounding rude, so I just bit my lip and watched quietly.&nbsp; Once she was finished she put them back in the roll and gave it to me.&nbsp; When I got to my car and re opened the roll I saw immediately why she thought they looked brand new.&nbsp; There were 8 proofs and 7 other NIFC halves.&nbsp; The unfortunate part is that some of the proofs now had a decent size finger print on them <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie3" alt=":(" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>In all the coins in the roll were as follows: 98, 99x2, 03x2, 03Dx2, 10, 10Dx2, 11x2 and the proofs were 96,98, 00, 04x2, 07, 08, 09.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>As bummed as I was about the finger prints they were still cool to find and some did manage to make it unscathed.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>From now on though if a teller says they are going to count a roll I buy I plan to politely explain that I collect coins and would prefer if I could count the coins in front of them.&nbsp; </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Here are the proofs from the roll[ATTACH=full]290971[/ATTACH][ATTACH=full]290972[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
