Today, I was running some errands and getting ready for the weekend. One of the errands was to pick up some cash for one of my other hobbies - auctions. I didn't ask for halves or any coin as I was going to be too busy this weekend and didn't want to be bothered. The teller knows that I'm a coin collector and she asked if I could do her a favor. She was sitting on $390 in halves and was looking to not have to count them when she closes out her drawer as she's been doing for the past week. She knows that I'm a "Buy Them All" kind of guy. Usually, I'll buy the dumps from this branch and cycle them into my dumps to keep the ladies happy.
She warned me that there was no silver as the customer who dropped them off already picked all the silver out, "but I might find some keepers for my collection". So she began pulling the rolls from beneath her drawer and I noticed the rolls were labeled "Kenedy 71". That was a good sign as I figured that if the prior owner wasn't smart enough to spell Kennedy than they were more than likely not so thorough on the culling of silver.
Then the teller had pulled some MWR with the customer's writing on them - Kenedy 65, Kenedy 67 - and I noticed the obvious enders. Sweet. The prior owner was not aware of 40%'ers. These MWRs were from the Federal Reserve Branch in Cleveland (Uncirculated Solid Dated Rolls). The rest of the rolls were CWRs.
So I knew I had some keepers, but I had no idea how many. The end result was 21 solid rolls. 431 keepers - all but 1 were 40%'ers (the prior owner wasn't all that thorough by letting a lone 64 slip through). Enjoy the silver p0rn.
