COOL BANK FIND ---- GregTGreat

I just ran to the bank and told them I wanted $20 in half dollars.... of course they didn't have em. However they did have $6 worth of them....

Well to the cool find....

I got a 1964 BU 1/2 Dollar At least a MS-62.... I never get that lucky from my local bank.... maybe that means that today is going to be a good day. image

  • Real great find. All my bank ever has in halves is old circulated Walkers and Franklins. Who wants that crap?

    Greg,

    If I may suggest, you ought to examine the conduct of other dealers around here. Look at how folks like BillJones, Jade, BowTie, Legend, Rick Kay, etc., behave around here.

    One thing you'll notice is that they do not brag about their individual rips. You may say that an 1964 half in near choice MS is hardly a big deal, but it is a big enough deal that it is the kind of inventory that you handle. And, please note that this is quite different from dealers trying to paint an image of themselves as being extremely competent.

    You got a score. Good for you. By advertising that specific score, you will shoo away some potential customers who may judge your conduct negatively (not saying that that judgement is fair, but you can't control how others think or feel), or who will not want to pay the premium you're asking because they know that you paid 50c for the coin.

    Finally, I want to say that I'm not trying to preach to you or to force your conduct in any way whatsoever. I'm just offering some friendly advice, and if you disagree then that is fine too.

    Regards,

    EVP
