<p>[QUOTE=&quot;berto, post: 2996599, member: 68428&quot;]Long story:</p><p><br /></p><p>The only bank I stopped at yesterday that had no halves had a very friendly (and beautiful) young teller.&nbsp; She and I chatted for a few minutes yesterday and she mentioned she would save any halves for me, but she’d worked there two months and hadn’t received a single half dollar.&nbsp; When she mentioned she was willing to save any halves for me I offered my name and phone number and she accepted it. She told me she would call me if anyone brought in halves.&nbsp; Readers, don’t get the wrong idea here because I’m old enough to be her father!</p><p><br /></p><p>Anyhow, today my phone rang and lo and behold it was her, and she was very excited!&nbsp; She told me she had 1 half dollar.&nbsp; I was immediately suspicious it was a common, crummy Cu-Ni clad coin, so I politely asked her to describe it to me.</p><p><br /></p><p>She said it had George Washington on it.&nbsp; Then I knew it was a commemorative, so I asked if it was silver.&nbsp; She said she knew nothing about coins, so she couldn’t tell.&nbsp; I told her no matter, I would stop by and pick it up on my way home from work.&nbsp; Thanked her, and hung up.</p><p><br /></p><p>I later arrived at the bank and she was all smiles when she saw me.&nbsp; She pulled out the coin and I was shocked to see it was the SILVER 250th anniversary commemorative!</p><p><br /></p><p>I slid two common quarters across the counter and told her the coin is worth more than these two quarters.&nbsp; She said she had googled the half dollar after our phone call and thought it was worth about $9, but she insisted on selling it to me for only face value.</p><p><br /></p><p>I told her if she called me with more good coins in the future I’d make it worthwhile for her.&nbsp; She said it may be a few months because she had only received the single half dollar so far.&nbsp; But I assured her I would be happy to hear from her.&nbsp; We chatted for a few more minutes and then I left.</p><p><br /></p><p>I’m really happy with the coin and will repay her generosity next time she calls me.</p><p><br /></p><p>HH everyone![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
