Do you tell the truth when buying coins?

[Codes]

Hey everyone,

Just wondering who tells the truth when buying coins. Most of the time the tellers don't ask why, but when they do I tell them the coins are for my grandpa and I. What's your story?

The truth shall set you free...

 

[clarknau]

I always tell the truth if they ask!

I tell them I am a rare coin collector and I look for rare coins tht happen to still be (or put back in) circulation.

 

[thripp]

Yes, but I think that's why I don't find anything anymore...

 

[SilverForBrains]

why would anyone bother lying? that's going to make you look super suspicious, most people can catch a lier pretty easily....especially women

Truth is very subjective...If they ask me i say "i'm a coin collector looking for cool coins", I do not say im looking for silver! Its not the full truth but its all they need to know..

Mostly I just tell them that I am looking for certain dates. There is one teller that just asked if I was looking for silver. I decided to be honest and said yes. She then said, "Ok well I don't think your going to find anything," and handed me $50 of CWR dimes with a big black sharpie mark down the side. I'm defiantly not going back there. Another teller I told because she seemed really nice, and I think that she might save it for me if she finds anything. You just need to get a feel of which tellers might benefit you or which ones might snatch up the silver.

I am honest with them when asked but don't volunteer anything. If they ask what I am looking for I tell them old coins, which is the truth. I just don't volunteer how old it needs to be to interest me. If they ask me directly if I am looking for silver I get kind of a guilty, sheepish look on my face and tell them well, yes, that is what I'm after. I think this is the way to go because for them to ask, they are silver aware and once you admit it then you could hear "well don't bother cause I'm keeping it all" (good to know this) or if you are lucky they might say "oh, ok, we'll if I see any I'll save it for you", or something in between. Bottom line, it's best to understand your tellers and know where you stand with them. I've got a lot of banks that are good for nothing but dumping because of all the sniping going on which in some cases I found out about after admitting to them that, yes, I'm after silver. HH

Only if they ask. .. most tellers know about crh.

 

[twiasp]

I tell the truth but not saying what i tell them because i don't want people to use it as a lie. Lets just say my reason is very well received and vault managers bend over backwards for me in ordering coins, and i even am on good terms with my dump banks.

 

[Coppercrazy]

Yes

 

[Eminem]

I tell them I own a vending machine business and I won at poker.

 

[boristhespider88]

I just tell them I collect coins (because I do).

 

[AdDicted2Ag]

Of course... Lying about it is ridiculous and will bring about more trouble than necessary..

 

[50cent]

VOTE NO If anyone says yes, I think they be lying to people on tnet, which is 10x worse than lieing to a teller.

 

[TimZim]

I do what I have to do??

You aint lying on that either!!!!!!

 

[cooper36]

I dont lie i tell them "I like dimes". And then every time i got to the bank the pretty little red head says "Oh your the dime guy. Have you found anything interesting lately??"And hands me my 2 boxes.

My son is doing a project for coin collecting with his scouts. It is actually the truth. He needs to do a collection and no way I'm paying collector price to fill an album.
