Asked for "big dollar coins" and any "old coins and bills." The teller gave me these and knew they were silver!

And got 16 dollars in big dollar coins, and one of them stood right out to me...

4 walking liberty half dollars, 2 bens, 8 merc dimes, and 2 FDRs bought at $5 face. Always ask, and always be careful of how your phrase your questions with the tellers, this is the key. On a side note, I got skunked on a half box today. Happy hunting!

The fact that it was an older man teller makes your statement creepier.

I had a lead on "big dollars" yesterday. Traveled and extra 20 or so miles, stood in line, and when i got to the register the girls knew exactly what i was after. They had sold all thirty five of them to a customer that morning. To my horror, she said "not all of them were ikes either, some of them had the girl with the crown"

Ouch. I guess that stung a little. There's always next time, all part of the thrills of the hunt. HH
