Wait a minute- are you saying that the teller called them Peace dollars and Morgan dollars? If she did that and didn't know to save them, then I'm shocked!

substantial. If not prepared to buy it multiple times in modest amounts without going overboard (assuming nothing really wrong with the company), you need to learn more about the market and managing risk. Also, please research covered calls (options) and selling short as well.

Saabman: I've been following the tracking threads, and wondered how you were handling the logistics of the ordering of halves with the tellers/banks, and dumping, etc. Do you buy a box per day or buy them 5/week and open one box per day? Just curious.
Shaz - (from out in flyover country)
P.S. I also found one of the Statue of Liberty Clads 3.5 years ago while searching a box.

@Shazbot57 - I'm really lucky with my pickup bank. They were new to the area and were looking for customers when I approached them about ordering boxes for me. I became friends with the manager and the tellers over the years (bringing treats and just stopping in to say "hi", etc.). They order 6 boxes a week for me and allow me to pick up as many or as little as I like. I normally just do 3 boxes a week (one at a time) and have 3 on "standby" just in case they forget to order or if they don't have to order for themselves that week. It's all about the relationship I have with the people there.

Dumping is another matter.......I used to have two dump banks but one made me re-roll before they would take them and the other has a coin counter. I think I've just gotten a little lazy and only use the coin counter bank now. There are several branches near by and at lunch I just head over to one and dump. The main branch has most of the same people there when I started and they get treats to say thanks for putting up with me and changing the bags when I fill them. Again, though, its all about relationships.........

I think that Statue of Liberty was my 5th or 6th (it was an ender too!). A couple of years ago I got a box with 3 or 4 of them in it.

Let me know if you have any questions and I'll do my best to answer. Good luck and let us know what you find!!!
