4 walking liberty half dollars, 2 bens, 8 merc dimes, and 2 FDRs bought at $5 face. Always ask, and always be careful of how your phrase your questions with the tellers, this is the key. On a side note, I got skunked on a half box today. Happy hunting!

The fact that it was an older man teller makes your statement creepier.
 

Gotta love those Peace dollars!! Congrats on the finds! HH
 

I had a lead on "big dollars" yesterday. Traveled and extra 20 or so miles, stood in line, and when i got to the register the girls knew exactly what i was after. They had sold all thirty five of them to a customer that morning. To my horror, she said "not all of them were ikes either, some of them had the girl with the crown"

Ouch. I guess that stung a little. There's always next time, all part of the thrills of the hunt. HH
 

Congrats on an awesome score - all that for $5? Are you kidding???! Wow ! I think I'm going to try to get a bag of big dollars soon.
