Have another bag waiting at home. Findings were slimmer than I expected (4 bags: 1 40%, 2 Morgans, and I think 6 proofs). Will continue for as long as I can get them

I was in a bank today, and I've asked for large dollar coins in this bank about a dozen times with no luck, but today the head teller told me one of the tellers has $100 worth! The only problem is the teller with the coins is off today, so I must return to the bank on Monday morning...guess where I'll be Monday morning? ;)

Bar 5: 8 modern 40%ers, two of which were also proofs. It's amazing how easily they could be mistaken for 90%ers if they had made such things.

Bag 5?! Man that is awesome. I've gotten 7 bags total. Now I'll continue to wait for number 8. Make sure you look for the ones that are more valuable than the silver ones |

Mr. Click, k have a great set up. I think the tellers grab a little (holes in most bags), but they let some slide through. I know people hate this, but the types and peg legs don't interest me much. I'll leave them for others. Just old or silver keeps me hunting.
