17% SILVER!!! WOW!!

Coinkid · Aug 23, 2007

Well, Today was a great day. I had gone to the bank I actually bank with on Tuesday and while I was there, I met a woman who was filling in for the usual lady. I'm sure glad I met her! Turns out, she is the auditor for all of the local Everbanks in Jacksonville. She told me that at a certain branch, I would be able to find 8 dollars in silver quarters, as well as John Adams dollars, in which I was looking for matte edge lettering.....Anyways, I went there today after school and when I get there, I find out that another teller actually SOLD my quarters earlier in the morning.... I was thinking that I just schlepped myself ALL the way to this bank (15 minutes away from my school, 45 minutes from my house) just to get nothing.

But wait! There's more! I ask my auditor friend if she has any halves.... She had 3 rolls, and I opened one. 3 40% silvers were inside. I ask her if she could find out if the other tellers have any more halves. It turns out 1 teller has $630 worth! I buy all of it and take it home, and wow. The auditor had told me lots of elderly people brought their coinage to this specific bank and she WASN'T lying! Here are my totals:

Out of $660...
