<p>[QUOTE=&quot;clembo, post: 623945, member: 8033&quot;]Kdkenn,</p><p><br /></p><p>First look at it this way. If they didn&#039;t take it to the bank they would spend it right? I recently posted a &quot;lot of star notes&quot; in a thread that I got for face value in my truck stop days. People spent them. If it was a good one I bought it. I picked up any wheat, silver etc. as well.</p><p><br /></p><p>We recently had a seller come in the shop that does the Coinstar thing at her store. She was sharp enough to pull the silver and sold it to us. Good for her. She did her homework and made a few bucks.</p><p><br /></p><p>Now &quot;junk silver&quot; vs. a true rarity is a different story in my eyes. Hobo brought this up and he makes a point.</p><p>Several months ago an elderly woman deposited $2000 at a bank in the area. That deposit consisted of 2 $1000 notes. Apparently the bank manager discovered this and took the time to contact the lady and tell her that what she deposited was worth much more than face value. The notes were returned to&nbsp; her. A dealer closer to her than us (drat!) bought those notes. I look at it this way. The bank did the right thing in this circumstance. That extra money may have really helped this &quot;proverbial little old lady&quot;. I applaud them for that.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>As for your customer stating &quot;those are mine&quot;. Really stupid comment. If I came into your bank and asked for $100 in loose quarters but only wanted state quarters would you have the time to fulfill that request?</p><p>I&#039;d tell him to go to a coin shop. We&#039;ll find it and charge you more. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie2" alt=";)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
