I went into my dump bank today to get rid of a few bags of halves when one of the tellers says "an old lady came in today and dumped a bunch of old money, do you want it"? 
I calmly say "ok". She says she sold most of it to another teller and he speaks up and says "I got it here if you want it but it's only pennies". Sure I say. He pulls out 29 rolls of cents, all dated on the sides of the wrappers with dates before 1957. First roll has 1919-1929 written on it, next one 1914 - 1924 and it continues like this with 30's, 40's and 50's. I hand the teller $15.00 for the stack of them and he hands me back a silver quarter. He said he just got it from someone that brought it to him because the sorter wouldn't take it. What are the odds of getting the only silver quarter he had!

(see brakes post!) There were some solid rolls from the 20's and in good shape mostly Philadelphia mints but a few San Frans and Denvers. There were some nice teens and 30's. Pretty crazy and rather a nice find. Might have to sell a few of these.
