Dime Roll Searching

Are these the rolls that tellers have in their tills? If so do you just ask for the rolls in front of them, or do you ask something else to get CWRs?

again, these complete silver rolls are not by chance...well kinda, the teller saves them. she saves them because she knows I collect. and some people are just polite and nice

well, I tend to not say SILVER. I say, I am looking for OLD coins. and I give them the dates, usually, 1964 and earlier.. or with halves, 1970.. and coins with old looking wrappers. and if they ask why, just tell them you are a collector. be honest. I have had tellers try and get the S word out of me before. " so you look for the silver right?" response: 'oh really? silver? hmm.. well, I'm just interested in the older coins, pennies, nickles, the bufaloes" it helps to mention the other coins that are not silver because tellers only know about silver being valuable, and nothing valuable about wheat pennies, buffs, etc.. some small percentage might. but it definitely helps because they now think you are a legit collector. especially if you bring in a few examples in flips. like I did....

so next time give it a shot. and try not to mention silver.

love the thread you posted.

in my case there was another issue with the tellers setting these coins aside for me. the general consensus said that the tellers were doing me a huge favor, 4+solid rolls of silver and then some, and the issue of bringing this teller appreciation in the forms of gifts was the debate/argument my wife and I were having. this particular teller is married and there is no flirting or under the table dealings going on. I ask her every time if this is a hassle and asks if this is a favor or going out of her way, and she says every time, its NO BIG DEAL..don't worry about it. I have even asked her if I can repay here in anyway, and she declines. I'm sure anyone would love a gift. but this teller honestly could care less about the coins she is saving me...i am sure in other cases the tellers know exactly what the coins are worth, so they KNOW they are doing us a huge favor by saving a roll of silver dimes that is worth 13x face, which then I understand the gift giving thing. this has been a strain on my marriage to say the least. and sometimes I have to say, its not worth it. my wife has her insecurities and I have have done things in my past to break that trust to where she thinks this transaction is suspicious and makes her uncomfortable. she tells me if it were a man or older woman, it would not be an issue. but she thinks that because this ONE teller, this young good looking teller is the only teller in the past 7 months to have saved me anything, seems suspicious to my wife. to me, its just luck. I ask every teller the same question regardless of race,sex, age, and if they happen to save me stuff, well its because I was polite and they are being nice back.. I refuse to believe it is because this one teller wants my bones. one other thing my wife says is that this type of transaction can lead to other "things", i.e. cheating, favors, etc...

in this situation the compromise came when my wife agreed to come in to the bank to see the transaction for herself. we have yet to do that, but I will let you know when it does. and if she feels uncomfortable with it, well, it was a good run. and I will just have to find another teller, this time a male one, to save me the goods. I might ask, do male tellers save you guys coins? or is it mainly women, young, old etc? this kind of information would be helpful. I told my wife, the majority of tellers are female, and young at that. my wife prefers that I go to male, or 65+ female tellers, which if they were that old, they would be retired anyway.

so we will just have to pray that my wife gets more secure, and that I can do more to show her I want her trust, etc. I don't want to bash my wife, I love her with all my hear and so much more than coins. bottom line, is it going to be your marriage or the coins... I know for some of us here, that is tough. but when we take a deep breath and realize that when we have lived our lives and we are about to die, we can look back and know that we loved our wives over anything else. and if your like me and believe that when we do die, our marriage her on earth will be united in heaven with Christ, not our coins..sorry for the rant guys. I appreciate every one's input.

$40 in rolls that I got from work:

Silver? NADA!

I was able to fill 2 more holes in the folder and do a few upgrades and am now only missing 3 dimes to complete the '65 - '04 set. The 73D, 75D, and 79 seem to always elude me!

the other good thing is that I'm 20 and most of them can't be over 25
:P
one even told me
"you don't look like a coin collector"
I said what does that mean
and she got all flustered lol
too bad I live with my girlfriend right ahhahaha
