Scored a 90% dime 4 feet away

[Pennysaved]

At some of the branches the tellers keep their coin trays further away from the teller window.

I always try to take a glance at the trays. I was looking at her tray from a distance and throught I saw a silver dime.

I asked her if I could see the dimes in her tray and she brought the tray over to me and let me buy the silver one I saw.

I told her I was a coin collector and I know it is funny that I could see something I'd want from that far away

I find my self glanceing at their Rack all the time. One at my main bank has a real set of 10's.

But are they 40%, 90% or real?

Sometimes those 10's turn out to be clad. You have to watch real closely.

Yeah, watch out for those clad ones. It's the unclad ones that you want.

Okay... that was easy enough to derail the thread. Back on track... good eye. I was amazed myself at the post office when I got a 1964 Rosie in change. I spotted it instantly and had started to walk out when the little greedy fragment of my conscious goaded me to go back (even tho a new customer from a long line was already moving toward Mike). "Hey Mike," I said, "let me take a look at your dime tray. You gave me a silver dime and I want to buy any others if you have more." "I did what?" he says. He looks in the tray, shakes his head and laughs, saying "well, give it back then!" I smirked in response and said, "Yeah, nice try." I can't remember finding silver in handed out changed for decades.

I was snooping at a tellers tray yesterday that was across the aisle (the drive up teller) and I could see a coin laying flat in the dollar coin section that was not a new dollar coin. I could make out an eagle of sorts, but I was too far to really identify it. Additionally, it had a yellowish sort of glean. I had to calm myself down a little and try to ask about it calmly without drawing any attention. I asked if any of the tellers had half dollars. As usual, they said no, but they do have some dollar coins. I said yeah, I am interested in older ones because I already have all of the newer ones. So she walks over to the tray and says well.... and picks up the coin... I have a Susan B Anthony dollar. DANG! I knew the chances were ridiculously slim that it would be gold, but at the distance that I was at and the way the light was hitting it, I thought there was a chance. I tend to be overly optimistic when snooping at the teller trays. I am constantly having them pick out dimes that always turn out to be Canadian.

Boy can I redirect a thread.


I got all happy the other day seen 196 on a dime, last number another 6. Dang.
