A great result b_j_w_79 !. Goes to show that it is sometimes useful to mention your interest in unusual coins when approaching a bank teller. With that success you ought to buy a lottery ticket !.  Squire |

I am thinking of dropping something off to the bank next time I'm in the area as a thankyou. It's all about building relationships and now they know I collect they might be able to help me out again in the future. I might have to mention that I collect banknotes as well and see what they come up with . The problem is I might have to sell the coins to help pay for our upcoming wedding.  Still a nice bonus!  |

Definitely pays to cultivate bank staff. I just had a call that a customer wants to bring in a bag of 1¢ and 2¢ (amount not specified). Would I be interested in buying them? And, a branch in a nearby town has some too -would you want to buy them as well? Minimum amount they can return is $25 face value of one denomination. So, selling on saves sitting on them for years and no paperwork. Win-Win.  Jeff |

Well I got the 1¢ and 2¢ this afternoon. They have been sitting in a box in the garage for years. The customer also brought in 5¢ from the same box and they kept them aside for me. Just over $11 of 2¢, nearly $5 of 1¢ and about $24 of 5¢. That should keep me busy for a few days. Batch from other branch to come later.  Jeff |
