Teller sold me 3 pre-64 quarters at face

[Pennysaved]

I have a WF bank that I dump quite a bit of halves at. I was in there today and one of the tellers asked me what was I looking for and was I finding many of them. This bank wont order me halves unless I pay a fee and never seems to have any loose halves for me to buy. I figured I would go ahead and tell her that I was looking for silver ones. She kind of guessed what I was looking for silver while I was saying it. She then asked me how do you tell the difference. So, I told her to look at a regular quarter and see the copper clad layer. I then told her that you can usually tell the difference by the silver ones being all silver.

Another teller interrupted and asked me "Like these?" She had 3 washington quarters from the 50s. I asked her if she would sell them to me and she said yes. I asked her how much she wanted for them and she told me she could only sell them to me at face. So, I bought them for 75 cents. she said recently they had an older man come in with silver 1 ounce coins that were denominated in $1. He cahsed them at face and they ended up selling them to another customer at face. Since she was nice enough to sell the silver quarters to me, I asked her if she likes chocolate and of course she said yes and I went a couple shops over and bought her some dove chocolate for $3.

Pennysaved, you need to visit that bank much more often. Sounds like you just missed some SAE's.

Snagging those quarters you got was sweet!

Dude! Can you imagine a teller asking you if you wanted to buy some funny looking "silver dollars" and you almost refusing because you thought they'd be Ike's... and then seeing that they were eagles???

Well I hope my Dove chocolate gift puts me in her good graces That way next time she will offer anything like that to me 1st.

Sweet find. With the chocolate, hopefully "sweeter" finds in the future. Ha!

Wow, too sweet. The tellers in my neck of the woods are too smart for my own good! I have been told by several that they collect the silver themselves.

Nice find. That would never happen at my wife's bank.
