"Disappointing" good fortune from the bank today

So I'm trying to hit a local bank or 2 every so often for rolled coins, desperately trying to catch up on our 2022 & 2023 needs to fill holes in our Whitman folders and stay current. But not having much success. Customer-rolled coins are usually older (and often grimy), and even bank-wrapped ones seem to be behind the times.
So I stopped by a bank this morning, and asked for bank-wrapped cents thru quarters. Got all that way except the pennies. Unfortunately, everything was a waste of time until I got to the quarters & saw the 2023-P Bessie Coleman reverse on 2 of the rolls. 1 is H/T and the other is T/T, so I'm assuming, based on the 2 H/H rolls I opened, that they are also all 2023-P Coleman.
So we went from needing just a couple more 2023-P Bessie Colemans to having 2 full rolls plus almost 80 additional extras. But NONE of the others from 2022 we need. I know several members have discussed how they haven't seen this issue out where they live just yet, so I got lucky, but at the same time, it sure would have been nice if just 1 of those rolls had been a nice mix of 2022-P's (We've given up on getting D's around here) ............ 
Anyone from Denver-Mint areas looking to trade 2022-D singles for Philly-Mint 2022's & 2023's? I have a ton of Bessies now......

Good luck!

Based on history, I'll definitely NEED that luck!
Good luck!
You got lucky.... Keep going back. The search can be frustrating at times, but then, just as happened to you... a treasure trove appears. Like the guys finding all those silver half dollars. Cheers, RickO
Lol,
The 2023p mints, can have a recent treasure lurking inside?
Check out my 2023p Bessie Coleman thread about the "Strike Through" I found (thus far, only one).
I discovered the first one, the "Burning Airplane" error.
I sold mine for $500!
Good Luck

That "Burning Airplane" reminds me of that Russian MIG(?) dumping its fuel on the U.S. drone............. I'll have to go back and check my new-found horde for similar. At $500 a pop, I'll be able to fill ALL our remaining collection holes!!
No "Burning Airplanes" among the ones I looked at, but I can swear I see a few with Chinese spy weather balloons lurking above the clouds!! What are THEY worth?
I guess I just don't understand how disappointed you can be at face value. I mean unless the disappointment is having to wait another week to complete your set. Enjoy the journey.
Exactly right...... my disappointment is in the fact that I just can't seem to find the older ones & Denver Mints we need to catch back up with our collections...... Face is obviously great.
