Turned a skunky box of halves into 37 40%ers and 18 90 %ers!
While dumping the skunks, I topped off the bag in the machine and they let me buy it. This bag had 1 1952 Franklin, 3 1964's and 12 40%ers. So I decided to drive over to the next branch and do the same thing. That bag had 3 1964's and 1 '63 Franklin as well as 1 40%er. It was getting late and I didn't have time to do the same that day, so I waited until the next day to go to two more branches, fill and buy. The third bag had 1 more '63 Franklin and 6 1964's as well as 2 40%ers. The next bag had 3 '64's and 5 67's (one looked UNC, the rest were black and gross looking). Finally, on my 5th bag I didn't get any 90%ers but I did get 16 40%ers and 1 more from a tellers tray.
so after $5,500.50 searched this week, I managed a nice little haul of 37 40% and 18 90% silvers. Also managed 9 silver dimes from a whole mess of CWR (lost track of how much, but a lot searched), one silver Washington quarter that my fiance got in change, and my '52 Franklin and '46 Quarter I found while MD'ing on Saturday. Also found in the bags were several modern British 50 pence coins, 1 good for 1 beer token, 1 friendship token, 1 kiss token and 1 pull tab.
One of the ladies while changing over one of the bags also let me have the crap in the debris cup which turned out to be not crap at all. Other than the usual pocket lint, cigarette butt and pot seeds I managed to score 1 14k gold earning (.95gram), 1 broken 10k gold earing (.6 gram), one 1.9ct CZ with 10K gold mount, and the coup-de-gras was a 14k white gold broken earning with 9 real diamonds, (4 tiny ones in each corner, 4 emerald cut ones next to those and one round cut in the middle. None of the stones are large, the biggest is the round cut in the middle, and that is at best 1/8ct. I will load pics of the jewelry and coins tonight.
