So today I stopped in a small town (my childhood home town) that basically is a 1 stoplight (blinking), 1 bar, 1 gas station, 1 bank town. The bank had $190 in halves in the vault. I bought them all. As I was walking out I said to my son "this might be a dream score", "why?" he asked......"I'll tell you in the car.

Written on 4 of the rolls were what I assumed to be the contents, if true, it would be a HUGE score......

see photos....they were dead on. 3 solid rolls, and one roll with (17).

There is a large amish community nearby, my guess is that it was an Amish fellow that would be so meticulous as to write the exact contents. Anyway, I'll be sure to check back regularly.

Just under 20oz and $700

Congrats, a true treaure hunt!

People from that generation are constantly passing away and if their children have no interests in coins then they just deposit them. A 20- to 40-year old in 1964 is 68 to 88 years old today. If in 1980-81 s/he did not sell off the silver coins that he got from hoarding in 1964 then s/he will have some coins to pass on and possibly to be deposited at face. I expect that in the next 10 to 20 years we can still find silver coins in circulation.

Welcome to the club!

What a surreal feeling it is, slow motion even, to open up and capitalize on someones ignorance.

BRAVO
 
Chinman, u just kicked the bank's *ss! Its the best feeling ever to outsmart them like that. Its the same feeling i got in Vegas once when I happened upon a quarter slot machine that accepted nickels... Ever time i hit a jacks or better, i cashed out in quarters. I took them for 400 bucks that day. Nice score man! :)
