Got my first solid roll yesterday and it left me thinking I was going to have a good week but didn't really think I would top yesterday's score. Today is my regular pick up day for nickels and dimes. While I'm at it I always ask for halves and big dollars. Bank #1 had 4 loose halves. All 40%. Bank # 4 had $330 in cwr that looked like dumps. Some had a black marker line through them, some had AC on them and some had both. I take them all. Bank #5 had $170 in cwr. Rolls have no marks and look good. I had to take money out of my account to cover it but I take them all. When I got home I start on the $170 in unmarked rolls. Dump out the halves and spot a dirty silver edge. Woo Hoo it's 1964. As I go thru them I'm like a kid in a candy store. End up with 6 90% including my first Ben, 1952. Up till now I'd only found 3 90% since I started in Feb of this year. Also got 7 40% plus the 4 loose from bank #1. Then I start on the dumps. Pulled 4 40% before I ran out of time. I've got pics of my scores so far and I'll update later when I finish the "dump" rolls. This is my best day ever and with yesterday's solid roll, my best week as well.
When you least expect it: Bam, silver
HH

Congrat. Nice score! May there be many more.

Thanks sirreck. The week is young and I'm just getting started.
 

Well I just wanted to update from yesterday. Ended up pulling one more 40% from the "dump rolls". Wining streak slowing down but did have some good scores today. While waiting for new tires to be put on my truck I walked down to the bank I got the $170 in cwr that yielded the 6 90% yesterday. Didn't really expect any thing but one teller has 4 dollars in halves. I can see silver. Thank you and off I go. One 90% and one 40%. Went back and got my truck and had some errands to run. Stopped at another bank and picked up 5 cwr and $7.50 loose. 2 more 40% in the loose. Hit a couple more banks on the way home and got some loose clad. When I got home checked the cwr. All skunk. Then tore into 6 dime boxes which yielded 5 Rosie's and one silver Canadian, my 4th of those. One box of nickels produced 2 .999 Canadian. This brings my totals since Monday to:
7 90%
39 40%
5 Rosie's
1 silver Canadian dime
2 .999 Canadian nickels
Picking up 2 boxes of halves tomorrow and here is pic of today's finds. Good luck and HH to all.
