<p>[QUOTE=&quot;scottishmoney, post: 1519519, member: 12789&quot;]It is sort of ironic, back when I started collecting when I was like 8-9 or so I can remember doing lots of CRH, back then we could still find lots of 40% in halves.&nbsp; Of course my mother really thought my collecting coins was more of a burden.&nbsp; Then I moved on into the addiction and stopped CRH and buying from dealers, then auction houses, coin shows etc.&nbsp; Somewhere along the line about 6-7 years ago I started doing CRH again to hoard up all the bronze cents.&nbsp; Then I added in nickels and halves.&nbsp; And CRH is the main focus of my adventure into the hobby.&nbsp; I think I find a lot more wheats, IHC(6 of them) even Liberty nickels and Buffalos that I ever did some 30+ years ago.&nbsp; I think it is due to the coin machines, ie CoinStar etc.</p><p><br /></p><p>Back on topic here.&nbsp; For CRH, start small accounts for your son in these local institutions.&nbsp; Some tellers get bonus points for opening new accounts.&nbsp; Having an account is like having one foot in the door.&nbsp; Be nice, persistent, don&#039;t mind being more friendly than usual.&nbsp; I KNOW FOR A FACT that some tellers will hold stuff back that they will NOT let anyone walking in have.&nbsp; From my experience with little things like this:</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://www.scottishmoney.net/usa/kennedies.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>Are held for their favourite customers - the ones that don&#039;t mind going and getting a box of candy for the tellers to share.&nbsp; The customer who is never demanding etc gets the silver, and the goodies like the box of cents back a couple of months ago that had over 100 1943 steel cents that the teller refused to sell to anybody but me.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
