So today went a little something like this
40% 90%
Box 46 -4- 0- 10/25/2010
Box 47- 4- 2- 10/25/2010 2/64 Kennedy Halves
Box 48- 2- 0- 10/25/2010
Box 49- 8- 0- 10/25/2010
Box 50- 6- 5- 10/25/2010 4/Kennedy & 1/Franklin
Box 51- 3- 0- 10/25/2010 1 /1970 Half
Box 52- 2- 0- 10/25/2010
Box 53- 6- 1- 10/25/2010 1/1970 & 1/64 Kennedy Half
Box 54- 3- 1- 10/25/2010 1/64 Kennedy Half
Box 55- 5- 2- 10/25/2010 1/Walker & 1/64 Kennedy

Total =
43 - 40% = 2 1970 Halves
11 - 90% = 1 Walker, 1 Franklin & 9/64 Kennedy

All half dollar rolls I turn in are the proper count.. kind of hard to short a roll when you are rolling by machine.

One solution if you are getting short rolls. Just take your little pocket digital scale in with you and roll each roll across it when you get them from the teller. :mrgreen:

HCBTT.......I know the people on here would always be honest in their dealings as they don't want to ruin it for any of us. These people I am talking about don't post on here and have no desire to do so.

Yes, I have the digital scale but hesitate to take it along with me as I don't want to ruin the good relationship we have with the banks I use. So, I guess I will continue to "roll the dice" and hope the coin counts eventually even out. Although by looking at the stats at the end of Country's tracking I am definitely down quite a bit for the year and that doesn't even count the penny category. Mr. PTP continually reminds me it is a cost of this hobby. It just upsets me. I don't know whether or not to be upset that people are dishonest on purpose, or if they are dishonest because they can't count any better and is that a result of our poor educational system???

BTW.......glad to see that "sniper cat" is back as your avatar! I missed seeing that picture.

Enjoy your coin searches, everyone. :geek:
