Mondays I usually don't have any place to pick up orders of halves or pennies. However, during my lunch today I decided to stop by one of my pick up banks to try to buy a couple boxes of dimes to sort.

The teller knows me well. I asked her if she had any dimes to sell me and she said she did. I then asked her if she had any loose halves since I knew my order wouldn't be in until later in the week.

She said yes I have some loose halves and pulled out $3 face of halves. She said she ment to call me about them. I told her I must have ESP

She had a '53 Franklin and a '37, '41, '42, '43, and '44 walkers. I of course had to ask her if she had any more halves or any of the other tellers and she said no. I asked her where she got them and she said one of her customers turned them in. They told her they were tired of seeing them in their drawer at home.

I was able to buy them at face. I told her I would bring her some chocolate when I picked up my order. She said that really wasn't necessary but you know that I am going to have to for this score

Of the $195 in dimes, I did find one 1960 Roosevelt silver dime.

Not bad for not planning on going to that bank today

WOW!!! great score. made ya a quick $50
Chocolates will assure your future success as well

Zounds! It seems to me like you're always talking about tellers selling you all this silver at face...I need to meet these tellers!

It is always younger tellers that I have befriended with candy

I don't think they realize the value and usually these are at banks I order so they know that I am wanting to buy all the halves I can.

To be honest, I dont think a lot of people realize the value. One time I showed a co-worked a 40% half I found and she wasn't too impressed. She said to me "I wouldn't know what to do with that; like how to cash it in"
