<p>[QUOTE=&quot;The_Cave_Troll, post: 52710, member: 1674&quot;]Well, some of each.</p><p><br /></p><p>1) My Dad keeps all of the coins with mintages less than 20 million (with a couple exceptions), so I sort those out for him and sell them to him at face value.&nbsp; That came to about $225 this time,</p><p><br /></p><p>2) I keep any silver, nicely toned, or otherwise interesting coins that find.&nbsp; (This time I found a 50¢ Bally&#039;s casino token and a 1971 half that looks and sounds like it is silver.&nbsp; (the edge shows no copper layer, it&#039;s quite strange),</p><p><br /></p><p>3) I try to spend as many as I can at fast food restaurants, wal-mart, or wherever,</p><p><br /></p><p>4) I deposit the rest into my bank account at a different bank than where I bought them.&nbsp; When I moved to my current town 10 months ago I opened a bank account and asked the bank if they could order boxes of halves and they didn&#039;t know, so I asked them to find out.&nbsp; When I went back they said that they could, so I asked them to order some for me.&nbsp; A week later I was in the bank again and was told that they&#039;d changed their mind and couldn&#039;t order them for me.&nbsp; So I started looking for a bank that would order them for me.&nbsp; There is a bank in our Wal-mart and they had a few halves on hand ($220) and they were heavily silver (about $80 FV of it was silver) so I asked if they could order more and they said yes.&nbsp; Ever since then I have been able to buy a couple boxes a week there and I always take them back to the first bank when I deposit them.&nbsp; I think that it is a little bit of sweet justice that the reason that they wouldn&#039;t order halves for me is that they didn&#039;t want them coming back and now I dump $750 in halves there every week or two. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie9" alt=":eek:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
