Took the SAT subject test today, feeling pretty good about it. After the test I drove up north about 25 minutes to do some hunting. Earlier this week I planned out a tack to follow hitting up as many banks as I could, definatly saved time having this plan. Here are the results

Banks marked with a * means there is a funny story below haha

Bank1: $4.00- skunk

Bank10: $14- 1 90%
Bank11: Not open Saturdays -_-

Bank17: Nonexistent
Bank18: Nonexistent

Totals 1 commemorative, 2 proofs, 5 90%s and 22 40%s.

Funny stories:
Bank15: Anyone ever hear of metro united? I figured just another credit union, bus as soon as I walked in I felt so uncomfortable. It was an Indian bank, and no one spoke English. I don't know how I got them to give me halfs haha. Definitely one of the funniest more uncomfortable experiences I've had.

Bank23: I was driving along and next on the list is wells fargo. Wells is my main dump, so I was super hesitant to go in, but I decided I would, and if they asked if I had an account I would just say no. (and this banks like 30 minutes from my house so I would never drive that far to dump). So I go to the merchant and our conversation goes like this Hello do you have any half dollars? Sure I have some, would you like me to ask the other teller too? Yes, please:) Ok we have 24.50 loose and 100 rolled. Awesome I'll take them all. *he starts counting them out 1..2..3..23..24.. holds one up to the light* this should cover your gas money. *Chuckles and I hand him my cash* I used to find a bunch of silver dimes, but it seems like they've all been picked through, I sill find halfs on occasion, but Im feeeling nice today. *bagged up the halfs and getting ready to leave* Sorry about the dimes, i just love them so much:) *as I walk out the door* HAPPY HUNTING
He totally new what was up lol. So i got the 1 40% from his try, and then the 10 rolls had another 20 40%s and 4 90%s

Bank27: Good ole bank of america- absolutely love BOA for this hobby. Walk in and ask for halfs, and the teller says they have more than I could ever want. I chuckled and said here I have 1900, Ill take as many as I can, so how many do you have? We have 9 boxes in the back. My jaw just about dropped haha. At first I thought I was picking up a dump, but then it hit me no one would reroll and dump 4.5k in halfs, its bad CRH etiquette. So I bought the boxes and talked to the vault teller for a few minutes. I asked her why she had so many. She said, we had this guy who ordered this amount ever week, and then one week just didn't show up, so they've been sitting in our vault for 3 months. I asked, the guys name wasn't "streetwalker" was it? She said, yes it was, do you know him? is he alright? I told her he was fine and I'd be back for the other halfs Monday. She didn't seem to happy about the 4.5k in halfs in her vault for 3 months lol. I found it funny how I stumbled on to one of streetwalkers main order banks though:P


Over all the CRH roadtrip took 3 hours and was 42 miles, and I got 21 miles a gallon so only spend 8 bucks in gas. Pretty productive day. Hope this is foreshadowing next week haha.

HH all!

Good luck on the SAT. I know a few college entrance counselors, and I've spoken to them on GPA's and seen entrance charts. They put a strong preference on GPA as opposed to SAT scores. I recall the chart, a 3.9 GPA with a horrible SAT score is better than a 3.5 GPA with a perfect SAT score. So if you did poorly do not worry about it.
 

I got that same commemorative half in one of my first boxes. Really a beauty.
 

You did 27 bank run in 3 hours ? That calculated to 6.6 minutes per stop (including driving, traffic stops, parking, getting in line...)

Could I borrow your Flash outfit and your Speedmobile?

Banks were about 2-3 minutes away from each other, and it was Saturday so there weren't any lines
 

Awesome day for you! Congratulations! That commemorative is a cool deal :)
