Nice little handful at the bank

lordmarcovan

I asked about half dollar rolls at the bank. They didn’t have any. The teller said she had $3 worth, however.

Out of only those six coins, I expected nothing.

Instead I got two 90%, two 40%, and two clads!

They were: 1961, 1964, 1968-D, 1969-D, 1989-P, and 1996-P.

That 1961 Franklin half is the first Frankie I’ve found in circulation in over 45 years as a collector!

The chances of finding silver half dollars seems to have increased recently. I suspect it involves the heirs of estates quickly dumping all the change they found. Numismatic knowledge among the general public seems to be very low these days so a half dollar is just some coin they have seldom if ever seen and couldn't care less about.

I just learned that my bank is going to reopen the inside tellers, which means I can get coins again (they refused to send rolls through the tubes). I am looking forward to roll searches in the near future.

Wow. Mandates? Where are you? CT lobbies have been open a looooong time. Don't even need a mask.

No mandates, just safety for employee decision from what I remember. The bank does not have a drive-up window, so all drive through business is served via vacuum tube teller and they never permitted anything more than spare change to go through those stations. They may have had a way to get rolls on by appointment (to serve businesses) but I never checked.

Other local banks that I checked had their lobbies open, but they would only get rolls for their account holding customers (citing coinage shortages).

What could possibly go wrong sending coins through those vacuum tubes??

Wow! The banks here have been open inside for over one and a half years.
