Half eagle found in a quarter box?

[danny1987]

Is it possible? Could that make for an ultimate dream box?

think about this... Some young chap inherits several thousand dollars face value of these coins. This guy/girl has never seen such coins and questions if they are legal tender. So to get "real" money for these coins he cleverly buts them into hand rolls with two quarters on the end, and then deposits the rolls at the bank. You then go to your different bank to order a box. Instead of getting the boxes from the usual suppliers, they ask the other bank to ship over a box of quarters. The other bank quickly throws the hand rolled "quarters" in to a box, and then ships them away. You then open the box to search the rolls, and find a very pleasant surprise

A man can dream right?


What would you do if you stumbled across this box?

Half eagle is a $5 face US gold coin from the past. And a coin you would never find in a quarter roll. Much smaller than a quarter in diameter. Not that it would ever happen, but you would probably have a better chance at finding a $10 Gold eagle in a bag of half dollars from a machine, along with the usual tokens and foreign coins, in the machines that default the weird stuff to the half dollar bag.

Last year someone found a $10 gold eagle in a handroll of quarters. I think it was a 1994 $10 gold. Bullion coin with a face value of $10, not like the gold eagles of the past.
