I received a call from my bank yesterday. They told me they have a customer wanting to get rid of a large quantity of coins that are all silver. They know they don't have to call me for permission to give out my number, but they did anyway. After I got off the phone with the teller, about 5 mins later my phone rings. I start talking to this guy whose mother in law passed a while back. Turns out she used to work as a teller for 30 some years. He then tells me that he weighed the amount of coins she had saved......26 lbs. All different denominations. He was just on his way out the door to travel for the holidays, so it will have to be next week. Needless to say, I'm a little excited. Wish me luck. My boxes for the last month and a half have been nothing to write about. Last 6k produced 8 40s

Are they going to offer it to you for face value? Please let us know what you get. I always hope I run into this situation.

When he is on vacation he will mention it and want a bunch more money than face. I have had this happen before.

That was my guess on face as well. I'm going to try and buy it all at 10x

I hope it's not all talk, and NO SHOW. Good luck on the 10x FV offer. I'm still waiting for this one particular party to call me with about $1000 FV of silver. I'm beginning to believe that it was all talk, just like a fish story; " it was this big, when in reality it was only so small".
