At work today, one of the Front Desk managers informed me that one of the Front Desk clerks received a coin as a gratuity and wanted me to have it since she knew I liked coins. Here it is: I informed the clerk that the coin was worth $15 in silver. She laughed at me and said, it is just a dollar, you keep it. So I did!
It must be nice to realize your coworkers like you so much. Kiss And it's little things like this that make life an enjoyable journey.
That was a very nice gesture on her part. It is hard to believe that some people still do not know about pre-64 silver. Now you must show her some of your toned coins. Congrats. TC
Lady Liberty looks like she just saw a ghost. That is an awesome gesture of your co-worker...I think I would give her a nice little gift card as an act of kindness..but that is me.
Thanks for sharing. Now we (other Coin Talk members who still have jobs can cross our fingers and keep hoping. But, you knopw, I just had a thought, "It wouldn't have happened if she didn't know you collect coins." Every coin collector should let every family member, friend and fellow employee know they collect coins. cLINKER
lol You never let up. Well, whatever your portfolio represents now, I thought this was a neat story that most anybody here would have shared as well. The last time I received a tip was when I was a paper boy. In fact, that was the last Christmas bonus I ever saw too. I must not be cute anymore. Or maybe not as valuable?
Lehigh - good vibes there. Before the 2008 flood here in Iowa, I had a teller who didn't get vexed if I asked for a couple rolls of pennies, etc. One time, after asking for a roll of halves, he brought back the roll from the safe and showed me one end. He said "Looks like you're in luck". It was a Walker - common date, G4 condition, but way too cool. I've posted it here twice. Couldn't believe it. We're talking small banks here and he really wanted to help me out and really, no "treasure" had traded hands. I kind of equate what the person did for you.to what my bank teller was doing for me. Heck, I recently donated my Saturn 1999 Wagon to some kid's charity because I know ABSOLUTELY NOTHING about cars. So the towing company that took it away is probably dancing in the streets right now because the car actually worked - it was just getting way too fussy for me.
Well, almost 15 dollars at todays price. 1. Calculate 90% silver value : (17.00 × .0321507466 × 26.73 × .90) = $13.1486586862 $13.1486 is the rounded silver value for the 1921-1935 silver Peace dollar on March 19, 2010. This is usually the value used by coin dealers when selling these coins at melt value. However, the total melt value is continued below. 2. Calculate 10% copper value : (3.3565 × .00220462262 × 26.73 × .10) = $0.0197794 3. Add the two together : $13.1486586862 + $0.0197794 = $13.1684380862 $13.1684380862 is the total melt value for the 1921-1935 silver Peace dollar on March 19, 2010.
That is a cool story. It is nice to know that your fellow employees think of you when something good happens to them. Great find
