A crh'er walks in and dumps $430 worh of halves through the counter, and heads up front to get his cash. Newer teller says, "what did you just run through the counter?"
"Halves" I replied. She says "we have customers asking for them all the time, wish I'd known before you dumped them all!"

Just 4 40%ers and a chromed '73 that from across the counter I thought for a fleeting minute might be a modern silver proof that she missed. It wasn't a noteworthy find, I just find it humorous when a teller says "Yes we have halves", "but you won't find any silver because I personally have removed it all" and then you hear them clanking together as they're being counted out and are sure that they're going to be sniped right in front of you only to have the sniping teller hand them to you with no apparent idea of what's in her hand. On the flip side I'd love to know what she culled out.

This happens more than you think. I literally have hundreds of silver halves in my stash from banks at which a teller told me I was wasting my time if I was looking for silver as they take it all.
My favorite was when a teller was counting out the halves I had asked for. We both heard "CLANK!" as he was counting and he instantly snatched that one back up and gave it a good look-over. He didn't like what he saw apparently, and placed it back down and it clanked again. He picked it back up, looked at the edge and the date, only to shrug and add it to the stack. 1992-S silver proof, which I believe was my first modern silver proof from CRH.

I would have tried to guilt-trip him out of it, but thats as far as it would have went. As much as I wouldn't have liked it, I feel that when it comes right down to it, he has as much right to the coin as I do. This is also the only time I'll refuse to buy clad halves after a teller has gone to all the trouble of retrieving them for me. Otherwise I feel obligated to buy them all, regardless. But, if a teller cherry-picks in front of me, I'll refuse them if I know they're not silver.
