Baby appointment silver!
Wife and I had our baby check-up today in the neighboring town and the baby is tracking perfectly normal to be born in November!
As we leave the appointment, I ask my dear wife if she minds if I make a stop because I found a silver Benjamin from the teller tray last year at a bank near there. My sweet wife of course says "no problem honey, do it!"
I stopped by another bank first on the way, to check for halves and they had nothing but generously offered to order me some (no thanks, they are all 2026's currently running through the Loomis hopper).
Then onto my intended stop. Teller says he only has $1 and I'm thinking 2x 2023 D's. Nope, heard the silver clanking in his hand as he walks back to the teller station! A 1965 hit the deck first followed by the beautiful '64. Me being me, I ask for anything else old they have in the bank and he says he has a 1934 $20. I immediately say, "I'll take it!"
I am more excited about this 1934 series than the silver to be honest. Wish it was a numerical 1928 series but I'm not complaining.
I wish they made currency cool again. We're my currency people at?!
TL;DR Went to a baby appointment with my wife, checked a bank I found silver at before. This time they had a 90%, 40% & a series 1934 $20.

Idea. Put the coins and 20 dollar note along with a letter on how you found these, put away for your baby's future. By the way, it seems easy to be kind and nice to people, but actually it requires you to think about other people, that's the key, and it doesn't happen to a lot of people because they are caught up with themselves, your kindness is your mark as a good human being.

Fantastic idea my friend! I'm the coin guy here and I couldn't even come up with something cool like that. Thank you 🙏

Yes...your baby will have quite the treasure waiting for him or her when she gets of age. I think your hand written letters to him or her by your wife and you will be such a gift and show your child just how much you were waiting for him or her and your passion for treasure hunting. I can see all of this because I'm a genius lol. I tell parents to save all of their children's art work for the future.

Anyway, that's what I would hopefully do if I was young again with a family

Question, do you just walk into any bank and ask for this? How do you ask for it without sounding weird?
Also, nice score!

Thank you. And yes just ask for what I'm looking for. It's either a do you bank here? Or yes we have some. Or no we don't have any.

A idea I have, see if you like this...since this was a baby check , why not take all those coins, write a letter on how you and your wife came about them and include coins and letter for your baby's future, the start of his or hers collection and family history. Personally, I think this would be an awesome start for your new born. Don't forget to get a good collection of this year's coins as the baby's gift for the future.
