I hit the road again this past Friday. I ended up visiting 12 different towns in search of halves and "big" dollars. Didn't find a single Ike.
Town 1 (1 bank): $2 loose yielded 1 '64 Ken. Great start!
Town 2 (2 banks): #1 - $10 handroll (skunk). #2 - $10 handroll (skunk).
Town 3 (3 banks): #1 - none. #2 - $2 loose, $20 handrolled (skunk). #3 - 1 lone clad half
Town 4 (8 banks): #1 - 1 half (skunk). #2 - $3 loose (skunk). #3 - none. #4 - none. #5 - none. #6 - none. #7 - $20 handrolled, $4.50 loose (skunk) #8 - none
Town 5 (2 banks): #1 - $2 loose (skunk). #2 - $10.50 loose (skunk)
Town 6 (1 bank): $1 loose (skunk)
Town 7 (1 bank): $8.50 loose (skunk)
Town 8 (3 banks): #1 - $1.50 (skunk). #2 - none. #3 - $1.50 (skunk)
Getting pretty dejected at this point.
Town 9 (17 banks): #1 - none. #2 - $51 loose (4 40%ers - FINALLY). #3 - $3.50 (skunk). #4 - $80 handrolled, $5.50 loose (skunk). #5 - none. #6 - $5.50 (skunk). #7 - none. #8 - 1 clad half. #9 - $80 handrolled (4 40%, 1 '64 Ken). #10 - none. #11 - none. #12 - none. #13 - 1 clad half. #14 - 1 clad half. #15 - none. #16 - $340 machine rolled, $130 handrolled, $1.50 loose. THE STOP THAT SAVED THE DAY *See below. #17 - none.
Town 10 (1 bank): $3.50 (skunk)
Town 11 (4 banks): #1 - $30 handrolled (skunk). #2 - $220 handrolled, $4.50 loose (5 40%). #3 - $40 handrolled, $2 loose (skunk). #4 - $9 (skunk)
Town 12 (2 banks): #1 - $2.50 (skunk). #2 - none
* I walk into the bank and there are 2 tellers. I walk up asking for halves and big dollars. The teller hands me 3 clad halves. I ask if they have any stashed in the vault. She replies, 'No, I don't think so." The other teller speaks up and says, "I think we do. Let me check." She gets on the phone and informs me they have $470. I take them all. $340 machine rolled and $130 handrolled. Time is running short, so I toss 'em in the truck and I'm off down the road. I finally get home (left home at 7:45 am, got home at 5:45 pm) pretty tired and disappointed. So far I have 13 40% and 2 90%. I half-heartedly start with the machine rolls which produced 1 40%. The first handroll is a skunk. At this point I'm not expecting anything, but when I dump the 2nd roll into my hand, I hear that sweet "clink" of silver. I'm shocked to see 7 40%ers in my hand. Roll 3 produced 9 more. In fact every remaining roll produced, with the best containing 11 silver and a '74 DDO. Final take from the handrolls was 78 40% and 4 '64 Kens. If that other teller hadn't spoken up, I would have missed them all!
FINAL TOTALS: 12 towns, 240 miles driven. $1107.50 searched: 92 40%, 6 90%, and a '74 DDO. Streak is at 9!
