[QUOTE="berto, post: 2827301, member: 68428"]Long story with a happy ending here: I stopped at a bank on my way home from work and asked for halves tonight. The teller did some asking around and scared up $202.50 in CWRs. I could see the rolls were a dump because I recognized another local CRHer's mark on the wrappers, and I could see the $2.50 loose were Cu-Ni. Of course I bought them all as a courtesy. As I was finishing my transaction the customer next to me called out, "I have some half dollars I'm depositing if you want to buy them!". She was in her 70's, and as soon as she made her announcement 3 tellers crowded around her and started telling her not to deposit the silver coins she had placed on the counter, but instead take them to a LCS and sell them. I told her I was a collector and I could tell her the value of her silver coins. She didn't deposit the silver coins and she was unsure whether or not she wanted to chat with me, so I retreated to the lobby. As she passed through the lobby I again offered to tell her the value of her silver coins. She accepted, so I explained to her what she had in silver coins and what a LCS would likely pay her for them. She insisted some Ikes she also had were silver, but she eventually came around and understood they weren't. Eventually she decided to sell me the coins below for $17...I'm happy and she was also satisfied...win-win:shame: Oh, and the CWRs were a skunk, but I'm not complaining.[/QUOTE]
