I've been absent from CRH for three weeks while work has been busy and dump banks have been few. I had the good fortune of stopping by a local credit union for work purposes. I've stopped by this place numerous times and bought coin bags from them before. I noted my absence, and one of the tellers casually noted they had someone bring in silver quarters today. That's the first time I've heard that!
She offered to pull them from the bag on the coin counter while I went about my work errands, and told me I can pick them up at my earliest convenience. So I did that. Sure enough, I walk in and there is $10 face of silver quarters in a ziploc bag. I also bought the quarter bag that was filled up previously in the day, and it's a good thing I did. It was a continuation of what was on the coin counter...another 38 silver quarters!
Total score - 72 silver Washingtons, 5 dateless SLQs, and 1 1960 Canadian. I'm buying every bag off that coin counter in the coming week just in case there is more!

What are the dates of the KGV and KGVI?
Any 1932 D or S Washingtons?

No date on the KGV. There were a couple Washingtons in the 30's, but no 32's. I'll have to check when I get home on the KGVI date.

Update! I got the bags of the common denominations - dimes, nickels, and cents. I had to...I just had to...dump the dime bag into a bucket in my car and see if there was anything in there. Without disturbing the coins at all, I already see the reverse of a merc and four or five silver Roosevelts! I can't wait to get home!

This is my favorite thread.

I hope those bags are LOADED! I can only hope to find a score like this. Good for you! Have fun with those bags.

No such luck on the nickels and cents. It appears the collector was strictly a silver hoarder. I still have to snag that half dollar bag, so there might be more yet.

Also a teller mentioned she had a big coin in her car from her previous job at a casino. I bought it for $16, and she was happy.

$16 for an ASE is a real good deal. Good luck with the half bag. You may have another big score if you can get that bag too.
