I know the majority of important silver dates.

I guess what I mean is hunting tips. How you all go about the whole bank and teller hassle.

The teller I had spoken to had told me I would be better off buying from brinks.

I think the most important thing is to find a bank with tellers that are willing to help you get what you need, but you also have to play a part in keeping them to where they are willing to help you. A bag of M&Ms can go a long way sometimes.

Another thing you might try is when you go through the drive up at fast food places, ask if they have anything odd like half dollars or dollar coins. On some occasions, you can get some good stuff doing this. Good luck!

@ Moichacho

If you live in a big city then simply go to every bank in your area till you find all the banks that have tellers willing to help connect you to the coins you want... If you live in a small town this can become much harder to achieve....
I seriously was going to over 20 banks a week when I first started to find the ones who would be the easiest to extract coins from without being hassled about it... In my experience(but may not be true to all areas) Chase is a bunch of stuck up jerks and so is key bank unless you have an account with them.... but most other banks just go in and casually ask for a box of whatever coin your are searching, if they give you a box then go back again in a week or so and do it again, and just keep going back till eventually they will recognize you and it'll be like second nature for them to get you boxes of coins....
I actually don't bank at Wells Fargo but pick up $800 in coin a week from two branches, They ALWAYS are super nice and offer me coffee and doughnuts etc when I go in... I started by getting a box a week from each branch and after about 6 weeks was up to 4 boxes a week... They in fact order me coin and told me I could order up to $2000 in coin a week from them and as I mentioned I DO NOT bank with them...

Yes I need that. Once I have the money to get a dime box I will go around and ask. Not many banks just have them laying around though do they?

I ask for half dollars at the gas stations I visit. Got all but one of my silver halves in the wild that way (the one silver half I got aside from the gas station came from CRHing.

That does seem like a cool way. I am also wondering if the banks hold boxes of coin just for the heck of it.

It should be pretty easy to set up a routine that works for you in a city like Chicago.... Just go into every bank you go past and feel em out

Don't come in with coffee or donuts, bring $5 gift cards to the local whatever (DD, Starbucks, whatever), bring like 4 of them, it'll take care of the tellers and maybe a manager as well. If they order your stuff then every once in a while do it again, etc. That should do it.

I would be on board with giving gifts to the tellers. But I am an awkward person. I would probably just slide them a gift card and they would think it was a robbery note at first.
