You guys have me a bit confused. What are halves? Can I get them anywhere? This sounds really interesting.

or, times are harder and people are spending all they have; including silver coins they saved. I've posted this many times: as a customer service manager for Hannaford back in 1989/90 (economic slump) I found lots and lots of silver coins in the tills I audited.

Congratulation.
I never been so lucky.
Where is your bank? I might go there one day.
Just kiddin.
I called US Bank around my place, they said they have 20 of them.
I grab $ 10 and went to pick it up.
But the lady (I shouldn't call her lady) said if you open an account over here, I can give you more. How many you have, I asked. I can give you $ 50.-. I asked again, can I see some? She show me two rolls, when I open it I saw Silver edges. I know what I saw. She notice my expression. I only brought $ 10.-. So, I asked her if I can buy $ 10.- first. She said, just come back and open an account. Trust me, I keep it for you. I came back in 2 hour, open account and she gave me $ 50.-. Got home excited, no Silver at all. She kept it for her self. I asked her, she said that was all she has. Bummer! I close my my account the following month. It made me mad. Samuel, the tellers can be cruel, sometimes. Unless you were mistaken about those silver edges (and, I'm not saying I think you were so mistaken), that was very cruel of that teller. You did absolutely the right thing by closing down that account. The big thing you should take from that unfortunate experience, though, is, don't you dare take it personally! They treat us all the same way. Young or old. Even if you're extremely bright and handsome and have a fantastic personality, like me.  |

she said I'm saving them for myself.. which, turns out is illegal... Really? Why would that be illegal? It seems like we used to have a few bank tellers here on the forum and I think they would buy stuff out when it came through. |

the part that is illigal, said the corporate manager, is that if there is money on hand in their tray and they DO NOT give that to a customer. I know you can buy it out of the tray, no problem. but it was sitting in the tray. as if there were 50 pennies in a tray, if they are there, the teller has a duty responsibiilty to give the customer what they need. just like the above mentioned situation. if she bought them herself and then took them out of the tray, I'm sure it is legal, still bugs me, but legal. if you asked for those coins, and she refused, thats wrong. bring the manager over and tell them to hand them over, doesn't matter if shes saving them for later, etc.. the money is the banks, not hers/his... until they buy it, doesn't matter WHAT you have in that tray.

Very nice indeed. I have only gotten that lucky once, about a year ago. Since then it has been mostly 40% with a few 90% mixed in and one more Frankie. Again good job  Quote:
She notice my expression Samuel tan, you gotta learn to put on your best poker face when seeing what the tellers have. I usually just get all the rolls of halves they have and take my chances. When I see loose silver halves I just say to them " let me go ahead and take those off your hands also so you will not have to keep counting them". They will gladly hand them over with a smile. |

If she had halves on hand to give you then she provided you, the customer, with what you needed. Just because she didn't give you the exact halves that you pointed to doesn't mean that she didn't fulfill her obligation. Next time buy all of the halves that she has. Pick the ones out that you want and sell the rest back.

and the tellers at my bank say they do not look through the rolls unless shipping a bag out - when they receive $1000 in halves they unroll what they have in their vault and ship them out...
otherwise the rolled coin you see in their drawer, has not been looked through, hence the silver that Spettii received the other day
