Being friends with the owner of a stop n rob = Good times
Posted: Sun Jan 22, 2012 3:05 pmI think I've posted it once before, but I'm going to say it again - Make friends if you can with your local stop n rob!
I go in every few weeks and ask if they have any coins they want to give me, anymore the owner just gives me a bag and tells me to bring back what it's worth.
So far i've managed to get 2-3 pre 64 50c pieces, a dozen or more mercury dimes, tons of older canadian coins including silver.
Today a lady showed up on my porch and said "The owner of the stop n rob says you're good with coins, here's a bag, just call me with what you'll give me". So now I get to go through this bag of coins (Some silver) and essentially pay what I want to with it.
Just taking out a few, there's several seated liberty quarters/dimes and a half dime. Today is a good day

Yeah, sure, chocolate helps....but at the end of the day, YOU still need to make the effort and put in the time. In addition, you score a big plus, in that they trust you not only with estimating the face value of the coin, but they know you will do a reliable job with any coins that have numismatic worth as well. Kudos. Keep at it!
