This beginner is meek but happy =)

[Graceful]

I am slowly getting involved in Coin Roll Hunting, and having a great time so far!!
Thanks to some great reports/results you guys and girls have posted, I have been getting intrigued with Kennedy half dollars. Well now I have some! I'm sure that if I was more bold about talking with tellers, I could have gotten these sooner, but at least I have them now! =) Here is how it went:

BANK#1
Me: Do you have any half dollars?
Teller: No, we don't have those.

BANK#2
Me: Do you have any half dollars?
Teller: We only have what customers bring in, and right now I don't have any at all. *turn around* Does anyone have halfs right now? *hears answer - turns back to me* She has 11, would you like them?
Me: Sure, thanks!

BANK#3
Me: Do you have any half dollars?
Teller: Yeah I have $3.50 worth right here.
Me: Great, thank you!
Teller: Ummmm....so...how many were you looking for?
Me: Whatever you have!
Teller: Well, we do have this big bag that was going back to the mint. Would you like some of them?
Me: I would like them all!

FINALLY =)

Thanks y'all I have not even gotten the chance to open the bag yet, but the minute I get home, supper will be forgotten, and my table will be filled with coins!!

The waiting sometimes is the best part. Because you could he skunked or not. Who knows. The possibilities are endless. Its an amazing feeling.

Meek is a good way to enter the hobby. After you build relationships with tellers, it will get a lot easier to ask for coins and make requests. Welcome to the hobby and HH.

 

[Graceful]

Thorne, yes I'm happy just thinking about what I might find! =D

Wilmingtonsilver, thanks! I would like to get (and then STAY) on good terms with those tellers!

 

[dejapooh]

I have a great relationship with my teller. he is willing to order as many boxes as I want. The problem is that he looks for silver too... so no drawer finds for me.

Hey! I just started out CRH also! I started with pennies though and will work my way up to the big boys soon. At my bank I got an odd look when I asked for $25 in pennies lol But like everyone says I hope it does get easier and maybe they`ll save some old or odd coins once they get to know me. Can`t wait to see what you find! HH!

 

[Graceful]

dajapooh, awesome, that is still pretty good for you

miamilatin, thanks! I hope you have great beginner's luck too =D

Every time I ask for half dollars they tell here out.

 

[Thorne]

Keep at it. They'll show up.

 

[Bad Wolf]

I find that even when I get skunked I'm happy to have it behind me knowing I'm that much closer to my next score...welcome aboard, Graceful!

 

[Thorne]

Plus not to mention only in this hobby do you pay money for boxes and at te end you even if you reek of skunk your still even

 

[Graceful]

Well I wound up with 5 that were 40% silver (there were 368 coins)! And a nice variety of dates to go into a folder! =)

Congrats!!! That's the start of many more to come.

[Graceful]

Thank you, I hope so! Now I need to find another bag from a bank!....

 

[sagittarius98]

Anything from the teller trays? Also, the bag was going to go to the coin courier, not the Mint. The Mint only makes new coins, they don't circulate them. I always heard tellers talk about the Fed, but not the Mint.

 

[Graceful]

No silver from those 11 coins I got from a teller.
The next time I went to the "we don't have half-dollars" bank, I got the same answer.
The next time I went to the "we have 11 half dollars" bank, they just had one (but I got it)
I haven't been to the bank I got the bag from, because it's in a different town. And that makes sense about the coins not going back to the mint! haha! Thanks! =)
