Beginners Luck?

I finally scoped out the local bank and found they have a free coin machine, so I decided to try my hand at coin roll hunting. I went to another local bank and asked for Half Dollars. They only had 3 rolls of customer rolled half dollars, so I bought them and $10 of pennies to make $40.

The first roll (my first roll ever) of half's I scored a 64, the second roll had a 64, a 65 and a 1968. The third roll was empty. Not bad eh? BTW I was born in 1964 so it makes it doubly sweet.

Out of the 20 rolls of pennies I scored 4 wheats, 150 AU coins form before 82 that look like they have lived in rolls all their lives, and probably about 1/2 the 20 rolls were all before 1982.

Now this was from a local bank and they all looked like customer rolled coins. I am guessing this is not the norm or is it? This is a pretty Yuppie suburb of DC so I doubt if there are many people with any time to go roll hunting.








Not bad for $40 eh? plus I'll get at least $33 of that back when I take the rest back to the bank
