....Guilty?
Hi, First post here, happy I found this forum. One thing is bothering me. Ever since that story of the woman, the teller, and the gold coins. (sorry this is long)
I went to my bank looking for halves. My teller did not, but teller next to her said someone brought in a bunch earlier that day. Teller took out a bank envelope of them and spread them out on the counter. I saw some silver, and said I would take them all. She gave them to my teller who carefully counted them on the counter. It took a long time. I was barely looking at what she was doing. I was just hoping she would finish counting them already and I could go and find out what I had. This guy comes up to me and says "some of those are silver", and I said "I know", and he says it again. I just wanted him to go away and not tell the tellers, *lol*. Maybe that was wrong? They could have heard him too, I don't know. Anyway, he came over again and said it, but I didn't want to talk to him. He then sat down. They finally counted the coins which was around $50 worth. On the way out, the guy says, "so what did you get" and I told him the truth, that I didn't know, but I did see an early date. I left. Don't know what he did, he was still sitting there.
It turned out that I had almost $40 of silver. Most 40% & 90% Kennedy, some Walkers & Franklins. I had to look everything up, I didn't know what a Walker and Franklin were.
Should I have told the tellers there was silver? Since it was my bank, I felt bad I didn't say anything. What if it was someone old who dropped them off, or whatever? I thought about returning them, but I was worried in this world it would just cause me a lot of scary hassle. I went in the next day or so and the same teller was nice to me, but the younger one who originally had them was not as nice. I waited for them to say something, but they didn't, so I let it go.
Another time after that, I went to a bank asked for halves. They handed me a roll. I went to my
car, opened them up and they were all Kennedy '64 in good condition. I didn't feel guilty,
because it wasn't my bank, and I didn't see the coins before, and so on.
So, anyway, should I feel bad? It was a lot of silver at one time. I am probably
stupid, this is the nature of coin roll hunting. It's just after that story of that woman, the
teller, and the gold coins, I feel guilty about that particular score.
