January was really bad for me, but February flipped the switch

1st of the month I got a call from a local bank teller, she said some cashed in a few rolls of coin from their safety deposit box. I swung in before closing and picked up 2 rolls of halves, partial roll of quarters, a full roll and partial roll of dimes and a roll of nickels.

Results: 2 x '64 halves, 1 x 40%, 16 x silver washingtons, 21 x mercs, 66 x Rosies, 5 x war nicks, 1 buff, 2 v nicks.

Then I picked up my boxes:
Box 1 - '64, '68, '69
Box 2 - 14 x 40%
Box 3 - 13 x 40%, 5 x '64, '54p, '36s

Very nice! Those silver Washingtons are just something to see from the wild.

Why in earth would someone store rolls in a safe deposit box then cash them in for face value? Senility?

Looking at the small volume of each of the silver denominations, I don't think that it was a FULL BLOWN "COLLECTION"Dump, as we think it as, but a personal odds & ends of silver coins that they managed to collect, but not for the sake of stacking silver.
Nice find, right place right time. Congrats

Exactly what I was thinking?? They had to have known what they had?? Weird!!

The teller said his wife had just passed away and he was clearing some things out. Also cashed in a lot of newer presidential dollars. She said he just didn't want them any more, didn't care.

Dozer: yup not a large collection dump but a collection none the less. Not from someone who collects avidly like most of us, but she new enough to hold onto them for a while.
