<p>[QUOTE=&quot;National dealer, post: 7824, member: 487&quot;]Making friends at the bank is a great thing. </p><p>First, start at the bank you do business with. Make up a few business cards on your computer. Just put your name and phone number on the card, and put in nice big letters &quot;Coin Collector&quot;. Each visit to the bank, ask the teller if they have any half dollars, dollars, or anything that strikes them as different. Leave a card with them. It will take a little while for them to think of you, so stop by at least once a week. If you have any common wheat cents, or any cleaned or damaged coins, put them in a 2x2 and write your name and phone number on it. Address labels work great. Every two or three visits, give a coin to the teller you deal with. This will help. Banks cannot sell coins for more than face value. So keep a few collectible coins with you at all times. If the teller finds you a half dollar, give them the fifty cents, and also give them a wheat cent. This will let them know that you appreciate their time. If your bank has other branches in your area, go to all of them. Remember that everyone likes to feel appreciated. A thank you and a small token will go a long ways.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
