Have any of y'all ever wondered if there is a roll of barbers or seated halves or dimes sitting around in some bank somewhere just waiting? I mean if people turn in walkers and bens as if they are worth just face value then some old lady who could care less could just as easily turn in a roll of these rarer coins. What are your thoughts peeps? Let's hear it.
Oh to add an interesting story....My Aunt used to clean the Rectory or (Catholic Priests Apartment) and every once and a while she would go and clean the house of the Priest's mother. One day she was cleaning the women's bedroom including the carpet and underneath beds and dressers and such. Well as she bent down to pick some items off the floor she found a couple small gold coins. I don't remember the dates but she said they were very old. As she looked around the dresser to figure out where they had come from she noticed a small change jar full of various coins, pennies, nickels with these gold coins mixed in. I don't remember how many there were but there had to be quite a few. What my aunt noticed was next to the coin jar were several penny roll, nickel rolls etc filled with coin. My Aunt, shocked and alarmed that the old lady was accidentally rolling these coins and turning them into the bank called the priest and said "You need to come here and take a look at this!" Needless to say the priest saved whatever was left in those rolls and in the jar. There is one thing that story taught me and that is old people can be forgettful and have poor vision and old coins will be turned in by them.
I hope you enjoyed the story. Just gets my mind wondering.
For those of you who are old, I hope you are not offended by the term "OLD" and also ...thank you!
