<p>[QUOTE=&quot;PEdoubleNIZZLE, post: 186729, member: 794&quot;]I agree, the bank has no obligation to tell anyone how collectible a coin is. The kid should have brough it to a coin dealer if he really wanted bang for his buck. After all, any coin can be a collectible. Maybe the kid would rather have a few candy bars than rolls of dimes with &quot;some lady with a funny hat.&quot;</p><p><br /></p><p>I mean, what if they made everyone keep what they thought was collectible? Remember, a bank teller doesn&#039;t have enough knowledge to appraise coins, or even know what some of the key dates are. It&#039;s up to the customer to do that.</p><p><br /></p><p>Once I spent two rolls of silver roosevelt dimes from the 50&#039;s, all AU50 to about MS67 for food. I was desperate and in between jobs. Had I known the spot price of silver at the time, I would have taken them to the coin dealer and gotten about $75 to buy food with. My bad, but I learned. That kid will probably kick himself later, but we all gotta learn somehow how precious even &quot;regular&quot; coins can be.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
