Being friends with the owner of a stop n rob = Good times

[schockergd]

I 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

Great work. Like many other Realcent folks do with their bank tellers, it's all about talking to people and establishing cordial/friendly relationships. 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!

It's nice living out here on the Great Plains, isn't it?

At work, I'm the "coin guy". At least once a month someone brings me something to appraise or to sell. One guy keeps thinking that 1965 quarters and dimes are silver. I even showed him how to edge check, but he keeps getting the dates mixed up. Oh well.
