    30+ years old, unc? save 'em if you dont have to spend 'em.

    Id be suprised if someone would actually take up. someone under 22 would think they're a fake!

    Check out this thread before you do anything!

    Specifically for the 1972's as it is possible that some Type 2's may be in your rolls and I really hate for you to spend these for a buck.

    I decided to change calling the bathroom the John and renamed it the Jim. I feel so much better saying I went to the Jim this morning.

    I got two rolls of BU 1977 and 1978 at the bank today, a sign of the times.

    Yes, and the teller was glad to get rid of them. It does happen, occasionally. My best find was about 5 years ago in a rural California bank, I found four original rolls of BU late date Ikes, teller said they had been there in the drawer for years. I have to believe the ones I got this morning came in very recently - lots of stuff that was held onto for awhile is coming back out of the woodwork as the economy shafts.

    BTW I live in a state with the highest unemployment rate in the nation, and our local area unemployment is even much higher.

    SaorAlba, you may be onto a new Cherrypicking possibility!!
  • Hello,

    In mid October I got $300 worth from my local bank. I was impressed a few of them appeared to be circulated. I finally spent all the ones I did not keep last Thursday.

    I even gave out about forty for Halloween.
    Some call it an accumulation not a collection
