It has been quite some time since I posted finds so this feels almost strange....lol. Actually, I didn't find this, but rather kinda fell into my lap.
Anyway, this morning I received a call from one of my friend tellers at one of the banks I used to regularly deal with. She asked if I was going to be in the area anytime soon because she had a surprise for me. I asked her what it was.......her reply was "it wouldn't be a surprise if I told you now would it"......ha!
I was going to be in that area this afternoon and stopped by to visit and see about this "surprise". When I walked in she pulled out a bank envelope full of silver dimes......52 to be exact. I gave her the $5.20 for these dimes.
I inquired how she came about all of these dimes and was told some guy was running coins through the coin counter and all of these silver dimes kept being rejected so he finally brought them to the teller just to cash them in. She noticed right off what they were and saved them for me. I asked if the coin bin had been swapped out since he was there, which it had not so you know what my next question was.....
She said I would have to talk to the branch manager which we are very close so I knew she would open it and let me "browse". The coin bin had been swapped out the day before so there wasn't that much to sift through. Anyway, going through the bin we find another 17 silver dimes with some being Mercs. I walked back to the teller and bought $2 worth of dimes to replace the ones we pulled out so everything was balanced. The chocolates in the past are still paying off....ha! More coming their way soon too.....
I ended up with 69 silvers including 7 Mercs. It felt like I was back in the game.....lol.
Just wanted to share this with you folks.............
Good luck out there......keep em coming!!!
