Dasaki Pillar of the Community United States 500 Posts	Posted 05/13/2014 11:26 am TRY FOURTY OF THEM! So yeah, I stopped at a few banks, including my favorite branch on the far end of town, the tellers always love me because they hate the funny money. Small haul for a stop there, only got about $150 in halves, dollars and twos between the tellers. But it was the two rolls of halves that shocked me. When I was at another bank a bit later, I was pulling the rolls out of my pocket to get to a $20, when the paper ripped on one... In total: 1x 1951 1x 1951-D 2x 1952-D 5x 1953-D 1x 1954 5x 1954-D 2x 1958-D 3x 1959-D 3x 1961-D 6x 1962-D 1x 1963 10x 1963-D I also got a loose 1967 40% half, but well... It kind of pales in comparison. new picture, a shame the 1951-D looks like someone took a metal file to it in the past. The others are all much nicer though.

Dasaki Pillar of the Community United States 500 Posts	Posted 05/13/2014 11:56 am Really only seem to be three types of rolls I see around here for halves. You have the brinks paper, usually covered in tape where they've already been searched. You have the generic diamond patterned papers, whick are often deposited in bulk as someone else's dump in my experience. And then you have these BRANDT Watertown papers, which I see in smaller numbers only, and often contain at least one 40%. This is my first time popping ANY 90% from a roll however.

Mr Click Pillar of the Community United States 964 Posts	Posted 05/13/2014 11:57 am I took a video of myself opening the last 4 rolls after I opened the first one. When I get home I'll take a picture of my Watertown,Wisc wrapper and post it. Wow, so far Watertown,Wisc is my DisneyLand of Coin Hunting!! It just made my Top 5 list for places I want to visit!

Dasaki Pillar of the Community United States 500 Posts	Posted 05/13/2014 2:56 pm Thanks everyone, I wish I could remember which teller gave me the rolls so I could give her a Walmart gift card or something, but alas my memory for names and faces is a bit lacking. I'm thinking it's about time to pick up a Franklin Dansco though, 12 different dates/mints here is a decent starting point. Report this Post to the Staff
