Couldn't find the thread where I had posted originally so, new subject.
I just picked up one 1922 peace dollar and two walking liberty halves, 1944 & 1945 from my local bank teller. This teller actually called me on my cell phone to tell me another customer had deposited them and asked me if I wanted them! This was one of those no brainers I didn't have to think about. She saved them in her drawer 'till I picked them up a week later.
When I went in to pick them up I brought two boxes of very good chocolate for all of the tellers. I'm hopeing they will remember me in the future. I call this Service Excellence!

A WEEK? Man I would have been there that day.
Still a sweet deal. My bank will call if they have a bunch of pennies to unload, but not to tell me they have silver.

Mcprice, dakota: I've always taken care of the people in the trenches. It's the source of "real" information. Stay away from admin. They only tell you what they want you to hear.
knibloe: I'm somewhere between Auburn & Syracuse. LOL, hope that helps.
slickeast: I actually went in a day before I was 'sposed to. I was trying to beat the 20" of snow that hammered us. However, my teller did not work that day and no one was going to open her drawer w/o her being there. Three days later, we shoveled the rest of the way out and went to the bank as soon as we were able.
Thanx all, love the replys. |

| I just signed up a new account at a bank, and the teller told me, "you know all coins before um...1965 I think, are silver?" I replied, "ya I've heard that before." She then went on to tell me how a customer deposited 8 Morgans dated 1888. She bought them from the till and sold all but one to a reputable dealer. She also told me that there is someone who buys all their halves. sigh :( |
