Wish me luck

Walked into the bank this afternoon and asked my usual, "Have anything special?" Lady said an older lady brought in some Kennedy's this morning. I asked if I could buy them and she said sure. She went to the safe and got them. When she set them on the counter, she replied, this is the box she brought them in.

When I got back to my truck I picked up one of the rolls and this was showing on the end. Thought I would share before I thoroughly searched them all.

Damn!!!! That is sweetness!! Good Luck! Let us know the outcome..

 

Always fun. Last time I got one of those finds I ended up with almost 20 Walkers, 15 Bens, 20 Kens, and like 60 40%ers

 

sweet haul. I think we are all dying to know what you find in all those rolls. thanks for posting this. I think I will start up again searching for silver in $100 worth of dime rolls 2 paychecks from now. oh and good luck.

 

A question for you: When you go into a bank and ask for something like this, do most bank tellers require you to be an account holder first?

 

wow amazing luck.

 

For me, it depends on the bank and also the teller. It's a crap-shoot.

 

I wouldn't be able to sleep tonight!

 

Usually for half dollars, they don't care who they go to as long as they don't have to count them every night for the next umteen weeks. As a rule tellers pretty much hate half dollars and will dance for joy when they leave.

 

Good tip! Thanks for that!

 

I concur with @furryfrog02 ... it's a crapshoot.

But also, *act *as if you have an account there. Don't ask "uh, can I still get them if I don't have an account here", etc. If you get one of the nasty tellers, they'll ask if you have an account, etc. Just be pleasant, smile, and hope they don't ask.

 

Agreed.

 

Also, whatever you do, don't ever, ever bring them back to the same branch..... That will get you on the black list ASAP!!!

 

Roger that! The first thing I would do after walking into the bank, is scope out the tellers for the "sweet-little-old-lady" teller. Except they probably don't make those anymore! : )

 

Nah! Go to the ugly one, look her right in the eyes and smile.

If you want to be happy for the rest of your life,
never make a pretty woman your wife.
So from my personal point of view,
get an ugly girl to marry you.

And don't polish them up.

 

You'd be amazed at how much you can get out of people with just a smile.

 

A lot of times the "sweet old lady" teller knows what's up as far as silver coins are concerned. My biggest score came at a bank that catered to immigrants to whom English was their second language. Find the young girl teller who's unlikely to be a collector, and more likely not to notice a unique coin or two while handing them over.

When I get asked if I have an account, I say one of a few things:
- yes, but I'm not looking to withdraw, I'll just give you cash for those
- yes, but it's in my girlfriend's name
- no, I'm just in the neighborhood on business, but I am considering switching banks. Do you have any brochures I can take with me?

 

So what are the results? We want to know!

 

geez you left us hanging here forever dude. results now. lol
