Cha-ching...cha-ching...the sound of Silver being cashed in at near spot!! That is close to a $600 quick bonus.

Awesome find ! Just doing the math, though, "....12 solid rolls of silver dimes.", would be 600 dimes, not 595. Am I missing something ? Again, awesome find.

A lot of times when a "collector" passes, the family says, "I'm not carrying rolls of coin, I'm cashing in." The family doesn't realize what is in the rolls, only they want cash.

Agreed. And typically, nine out of ten people don't know the difference between a clad and silver dime. I've done my own tests with friends and co-workers.

I hope my wife doesn't do the same with my collection when I die. Most likely it will just go to the bank for cash. So guys, be on the lookout for massive amounts of silver, wheaties, type coins, proofs, etc in a few years off I hope.
