The bank I use as a dump bank has a coin counter that is free to people with an account.
I went to dumb the last of this weeks halves just now and there was a fellow who stood in line behind me waiting to dump a medium sized jar worth of coins.
As I am waiting in line to get my receipt cashed, he is loading his coins in, and I see as the counter eventually made it up to 271.50. Judging by how fast the amount added up, I would guess he had all dimes or mostly dimes.
As we are waiting in line he asked me how long it took me to build up to 1000 worth of halves...lol. I lied and told him quite a while...
Eventually he casually mentioned to me that the coins he dumped were silver.
I fought the urge to say anything, as this bank does not know where I am getting my coins and if I throw a fit over some silver dimes they might put two and two together.
I ended up asking why he didn't take the dimes to a coin dealer and he explained that silver dimes were only worth about 11 cents each and it just wasn't worth his time to take them to a coin dealer....
I'm slightly sick now... if those coins were all silver there was likely 3400 plus dollars worth of silver....
I wonder if there is a way I can sly my way into buying that bag of dimes tomorrow?
