Some Random Questions About Coins

1) Not very often for me
2) that varies but I dont think that there will be many people offering to show a stranger their PF68 1804 dollar. You will probably find wheaties and some silver coin. Which is still reaLLY COOL! Prices also vary some peoople think there wheaties are worth the same as the previously mentioned 1804 dollar, some people think there wheaties are just old ugly pennies.
3)75% of the banks I go to when CRH'ing I do not belong to. Out of that 75% only 5% of the time they tell me I need an account. The other 95% of the time the beautiful tellers ladies just smile at me and pour all there silver coin into my pockets!
5) I have been denied at every credit union I have gone to. I don't even waste my time anymore.

Hope this helps!

After some quality comments, a few totally random thoughts*

1.) They better have coins, because I never bring exact change.

2.) Garage sales often expect more for anything considered "antique". That includes a circa 1970 Mr. Coffee. So if you buy tarnished SBAs from someone who's seen every Antiques Roadshow, you're gonna pay extra.

3.) I find I can ask any bank as long as I made a "want list" in advance. It really helps the tellers to have it written down, and they usually give me more than I ever need. Nice places, banks.

*Sorry, enough clowning around...I'm usually helpful here, just having fun. Good luck!

1. I always ask. Not always but the times that there was coins I had some fantastic luck. I've found that if there is only one person selling and they would have to go into a house for the coins, they might say come back later of just no. I've gone back to some that said no if I saw more people there and again asked for any old coins. I get to be a pest at times.
2. So far my experiences are the people that have garage/yard/estate sales have no idea of coin prices and I've come away with some fantastic deales.
3. I have accounts in 5 banks. I find I can get all the half dollars I want as long as I ask at a time when they are not busy. The tellers usually have to leave their station, lock up everything, go to a vault to get those so if busy they may well say they don't have any. I usually get about 2 to 10 rolls every few weeks. Never any luck in anything valuable but just fun spending them since most people don't know what they are. And as to Ikes, when I ask I am told to put my name on a list.
4. See 3.
5. Never been to one and not sure where there are any.
