I hit a few banks while doing some errands today. I didn't expect much as I hit all of these banks just last week. I scored a few dimes along the way to my bank (which has produced a whopping two 40% halves for me. I buy a few rolls of dimes and ask for halves as usual. The teller says she has none but the young male teller to her left says "I have $7.50". I move to his window and all I see is silver as he counts it out. Then he remembers he has two more rolls. He insists on counting these out as well. I'm sweating the whole time as I expect a problem from him when he says "hey these are kind of old". Anyhow, he sells me everything and as I pack up to leave he thanks me for helping him get rid of these coins. I give him my card and thank him as well.
I fly out to the parking lot and simply cannot believe my eyes when I realize what I have...Franklins, Walkers and my first Barber!!
Pics from today and the balance of this week are below.

Man, what a score! Nothing like old silver at face! Those rolls would not have made it past the border here. ffd

 Hard to believe it when they thank you like that. I like it when they just look at them and say how much they can't stand them and have been trying to get rid of them for ever! Maine_Jim

The Barber is a 1909s. The Franklins include a 1948, some from the 1950's and a bunch of 1963's. The Walkers are mostly from 1940-1944. I had to go from memory. My computer is in the basement and I have the coins up in the safe already. I didn't get any key dates but a few of the Franklins and one of the Walkers are in very sweet condition.
I just can't believe this hobby. Something really cool has happened almost each week since I started CRH about three months ago. Up to this point I had only hoped to get the silver. Now I have set my sites on actually completing a set of Franklins. Maybe (with a lot of luck) I can complete the Walkers too. Who knows?
