Hi guys, yes,yes,yes!

I went to a "Chase" bank today. Asked for any half dollars. They told me they only had loose ones. $12.50c worth. I said, "I'll take them" Look what they gave me. Lol.

17 40%er's. Out of 25 halves!


What a Beautiful sight. A Stack of SILVER!

    I've always felt that loose halfs (or CWRs) are a better bet than bank boxes.

    JFK half dollars are such a curiosity. Many people cling to clad versions mistakenly believing they are worth more than face, and some others dump silver at the bank. :#

    Cool. I ask the tellers whenever I'm in the lobby. They usually don't have anything other than the usual clad modern junk.

    How can people who work in a bank not know about silver coins?

    Heck, banks don't even "bank face" currency anymore.
    I can remember many years ago (late 70s/early 80s) taking the day's receipts to the bank and if the money wasn't bank faced the world-weary teller would reposition the cigarette dangling from her mouth and shove the money back, saying they wouldn't accept it if it wasn't bank-faced.

    Most employees at banks I have visited have little or no knowledge of coins or currency beyond marking the bills with the counterfeit detection pen (aka laundry marker.)

  • joeykoinsjoeykoins Posts: 17,198 ✭✭✭✭✭

    Here's why. Explained the way, Yogi Berra, would describe.
    "Because they only have money on their mind."
    Meaning;
    They're just worried about getting paid on Fridays. Lol

    The more that I look at this 1965, the more I'm thinking this beauty is an actual SMS Kennedy! It has that "PL" appearance.
    What do you guys think? Thanks ;)

    That's a great question and the most likely answer is "Millennial" and these are exachary the type of banks to keep revisiting.
    However, after enough visits the tellers can get curious about what exachary it is that you're looking for and/or if you've found anything. At this point your answer should be " You know, just old coins and stuff" " Nothing yet, I just do it to pass the time". Then a quick subject change, "How's life at the bank" Good? :) They're easily deflected :D

  • ChrisH821ChrisH821 Posts: 6,646 ✭✭✭✭✭

    Yes that appears to be an SMS coin.
