A Better than average day at the bank

I hadnt been doing my usual silver romps at the banks lately. But today when my wife went into the post office, i decided to go into the local bank next door. Bought 9 rolls of kennedys.... In with them i found 30 silver clad halfs, one or two might be ms 65 or 66 and about 10 others 1971-1973 including 2 1972d that look as nice as some pcgs ms-66 kennedys i have bought, that are ms-66. I live for days like this.... image

    Nice work.

    Yesterday I bought 13 rolls from my "special" teller. Come away with only a single silver clad in the batch.

    "Lenin is certainly right. There is no subtler or more severe means of overturning the existing basis of society(destroy capitalism) than to debauch the currency. The process engages all the hidden forces of economic law on the side of destruction, and it does it in a manner which not one man in a million is able to diagnose."

    Yesterday I stopped in at a bank I seldom visit, and the head teller had six rolls in the vault. They yielded a whopping two 40% silvers. (Good thing I didn't go out of my way to visit.)

    The good news was that the head teller was eager to take my name and phone number as the guy she could call to rid herself of any halves the customers bring in. Many local banks now find halves a nuisance to handle, and hers is one of them.

    I've got the same arrangement with the head teller at the bank where I found the following in seventeen rolls last June:

    That same bank yielded this batch from eight rolls last January:

    It's been another six months, and I can't help wondering whether the same customer has more of these to bring to that bank.

    Happy hunting!
