A Kennedy what?

I've recently read some of your posts that mentioned going to the bank and purchasing roles of Kennedy's in search of silver. I figured I might as well try doing the same thing. What could go wrong? I went to a small bank to deposit some money and while there I asked a new-to-the-banking-industry teller if she had any Kennedy halves. She smiled and said "I sure do." She proceeded to put Sac dollars in front of me and asked me how many I wanted. There isn't any part of me that would have excepted those dollars at 50 cents, but instead I decided to educate her a little on her error. I guess I might have expected that at McD's, but at the bank?image

  • Typical modern stereotypes.image I've run into this quite a bit. I've never had this happen at a bank before but at stores they act like it's foreign money or something.image

  • I wish that was the only denomination that this is common with, but.......since the JFK's, IKES, Susan B's and others don't circulate, it is an all too re-occurring problem.image
  • Agflyer, you should have accused here of trying to rip you off, told here they were the new golden quarters, and bought them all at 4 for a dollar. image

    I had a great day looking through bank rolls of quarters. Found a 1960-D in XF,
    a 1969-D in AU+!!!, and a 1985-P small bust in VF. While the silver coin is nothing
    too special as far as ultimate availability the other two are quite scarce, especially
    the 85-P.

    I did have to pay "full price" for them though.
