i'm just starting to get back into crh...

called several banks in my area.. 1 bank had $20 and another $80... was going to go to them and had only 30 minutes till closing so i was in a big rush

while driving i saw a bank i didn't call and had gotten a few 40%s there before.. decided what the heck and changed lanes quickly and pulled in... At first, they say we have $7.. a guy says what about the bag... then the lady helping me says we can't do that. She asks if i want all $7 to which i reply i want $1000... she says really? then as they're switching them from one canvas bag to one they're going to let me have... one teller reaches in and says huh.. a silver... looks at me..... now i've had this happen before .. usually while they're counting .. they pick out the silver and give me the crap. i'm thinking oh no................ she then says .. well you never know. i walk out with the full $1k untouched. now i know i have at least 1 keeper in there and can't wait to get home.

1 1939 walking lib... my first.... i was excited but nowhere near as much as my 10yr old who helps me... he really wants it.. i might put it in his stocking ;)

1 64
12 40%'s

great haul for me...


Now on to my morning dump prior to all this...

prior day i am itching to get back into it.. go to my local bank and ask for halves and dimes.. they say they have none but suggest i go to the main branch.. i go to the main branch and get 1k in dimes. so yesterday i'm itching for halves and decide since i'm in a hurry to dump the dimes at my bank. She says, weren't you just in here asking about these? i say yep.. was for a poker game. she says oh really how much did the winners get... totally not prepared i say, ugh............. i don't know LOL... then she says.. so you're not searching for silver? i say nope.. poker. she says how often to you 'play poker'.. i say every 2 or 3 months.. she says ok... that shouldn't be a problem. So now i feel kind of angry for her calling me out... wasn't really her business as i haven't dumped there in over a year and bank there. i'm going back today with 1k in halves to dump on her... not sure what i'm going to say... do i come clean and say you're right, i'm searching for silver but didn't know what to say when you put me on the spot ... ?? if she gives me trouble again, i'm going to pull my account.. they can't order me boxes so if they won't take dumps... i don't need them

(Arguably) Rule #2: Never mention the "S" word. You (genuinely) can be looking to complete a set, fill an album, helping you kids with their collection or just looking for all kinds of things; but never mention the "S" word.
 
When I get coin or dump I just tell them how I am trying to complete my coin collection of half dollars. I'm not lying as I am putting together a set of Kennedy's, and once I am done with that set I'll move on to my set of Franklins. I of course keep silver too.
 
so a great ending to what i wasn't sure how it was going to turn out

not wanting to deal with any drama .. or lie...etc... i went to another branch that's 5minutes down the road... they have a self serve coin machine! how/why my main bank never shared this with me is beyond me. The machine bag only hold $500 in halves.. i was cashing in $1070 and the bag already had close to $400 in it

when the guy came over the change the bag he says... i haven't changed the half bag in forever...... immediately i'm thinking how i can dump and still get that bag LOL... but the way things went yesterday i didn't want to burn this bridge. i inquired to the guy if they go through it or check for silver.. he said no not really. i got to talking with this guy and he was really cool... i was honest about what i did ... he seemed interested.. says he has another guy that does it with dimes...

after all his help and bag changing ... i gave him a gift certificate for $5 to dunkin donuts.. he was so pleased to get it... kept saying come back anytime ...

i was amazed at how nice all 3 employees were at this branch ... whereas at my main branch they're standoffish at best... even when i'm doing normal banking

needless to say i will not be going to the main branch for anything anymore... and i have an easy, fast, approved dump spot

..... i still wonder just how many keepers were probably in that bag before i began topping it off................. guess i'll never know

Nice move with the doughnut coupon! I'll bet that you never have any problems whatsoever with that teller. However, I would have asked to buy the bag that you topped off. I don't see anything wrong with that, so long as you dumped it elsewhere.
 
Yep! You should have ask for the bag! It sounds like you had him eating out of your hand anyway! ;D
