I believe sometimes it is very very beneficial to educate a teller that is helping you out. I have one that I guarantee will be taking care of me forever. I started going in to this bank a few months ago, and she is the only one where I was just honest with her about why I order halves, she started telling me about all the silver that she has accumulated over the years, and how next time I go in she will bring some with her to show me. So, the next week, I go in, and sure enough she has $98.00 in FV Pre64 halves. So, in total 196 Benjamins, and Walking Liberties. (she also told me how one day, an old lady came in, and was cashing them in to a teller next to her, the teller even said, uhhhhh, I think these are silver, the old lady was like, I dont care, I just want to cash them in.)Crazy.... So anyways, the teller next to her, was just putting them away, and she was like, arent you going to buy those and he said, nope. I dont want them. So she bought them from his drawer. Crazy again. Anyways, that was a few years ago. So Im looking in this bag of halves, and mentioned, hey that is worth more than you think it is, so if you are going to sell any, call me first. A month later ( which was last week), she starts telling me this crazy story about her sister was in town with some old "gold jewelry" she doesnt wear, and they went to a cash for gold place, 1st of all, she was all excited and surprised about how her sister got $300 bucks for these two gold necklaces...(that made me a little sick cause Im sure it was worth over $1000). Then she says, oh and I took that bag of halves in to see what they were worth, and they totally offered me over $700 bucks. She was all excited and sounded surprised by this. At this point, I'm light headed, and about to puke. I asked the dreaded question... Did you? She said, NOPE! I would have if you didnt talk to me first. When she got home her husband totally yelled at her for not taking the $700. I told her she almost made me throw up, and then pulled out my phone, went to my silver app. and showed her how much her 98 dollars of halves are worth... At that point, she almost fainted, and told me thank you, thank you, thank you.... We then talked for 20 minutes, here is the result: She has on auto order, as many boxes as I want every week (right now 4). She also told me she would buy any and all CWR of coin that comes in and save it for me..... Moral of this story is, it can pay off ten fold to help out a teller like this...
Just saying..
