<p>[QUOTE=&quot;USS656, post: 625438, member: 6641&quot;]I am to this point and pretty much agree with the general thought process of it&#039;s a bank not a coin store. That said you have to be professional and polite. I agree with Jim&#039;s comment about being as discreet as possible.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Now to this - I haven&#039;t read on yet so no telling what others have commented. I feel it depends on the type of situation/coin rarity. If someone brings in a 55 DDO in MS/AU condition then I probably pocket it. If someone brings in a 56 Flying Eagle or a 16D Mercury Dime I would personally send them to a reputable dealer or assist them to gain approximate value for it. There is a difference between a truly rare coin and a valuable variety. Same with gold. Junk Silver/Wheat&#039;s/War Nickles are going in my pocket if the bank allows it. If someone tried to deposit a $500 or a GC I would be really torn as what to do. I would hope they would show up in a business deposit not a little old lady deposit. For the little old lady - I would have to give some advice but let her make the decision. Business deposit is my gain. Case by case basis is probably the best rule and keep the customers best interests as well as your business interests balanced.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>One tact with the searching may be to say I am trying to fill a penny book and am looking for any I am missing. I wouldn&#039;t know a rare coin if it jumped out and bit me. I know it&#039;s a lie but they should not be asking you to search their coins for them so I would not feel bad finding a polite way to brush them off. In truth as stated above I would let them know if they deposited something truly valuable. BTW - as an example - I don&#039;t consider a roll of 65 halves or even 58 circulated halves truly valuable.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>JMO[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
