More dream rolls...many, many more...the eagle has landed! (pics added)

[joad]

Well I debated whether or not even posting this but, here goes. Last Friday I scored 3 rolls of solid '64 as noted in a previous post. The teller at the time said another teller had more rolls but he wouldn't be in til Monday. I'm think'in okay not a problem I'll come back. Well today I stop in and the teller gets in his vault and pulls out 5, 10, 15...at this point I'm thinking how many more and probably someones dumps. Well as he had all 37 rolls lined up across counter he proceeds to tell me they are all 1945 and older. I thought I had heard him wrong at first, but as he piles them in a box for me I see the Eagle landing on the end of one roll. I get out to the car and sure enough all Walkers...740 friggin Walkers. At first glance it looks like they are all 1940-45. My kids and I will sort through them tonight. I had 2 boxes to pick up at another bank, but since I had taken $370 out of circulation I didn't have the cash on hand! I'm still debating the picture thing, but I guess it really doesn't matter. Probably post some later.

Update: We went through and all but 3 were 1940-47 with the other 3 being 1937. Also, I ended up with 743!...3 extras. About a roll full has extreme rainbow toning.

Update 2: Went back to the bank today and quizzed the tellers. They said one man cashed in all $400 worth last Thursday. Those were the only coins he cashed in. Was hoping for other denominations.

OMG!!

I am not voting banner here. I know it sounds unfair to Joad. But shooting one's own foot is not good either.

 

[Argentium]

Wow , What needs to be said, other than thank the good lord ! My friend - that is treasure
hunting as most of us dream it to be - enjoy the ride ! Godbless you and yours - Argentium.

I was wondering who was going to come across my stash of coins I turned in the other day at the bank.

Believe me I was right there with you last week when Maine-Jim made his huge find, but after today it doesn't seem to matter either way. Not everyone that starts this hobby will dedicate the amout of time and obsession as many of us here have. At least where I hunt there is enough to go around. A few obsessed hunters can't hit every bank every day. There are probably a thousand banks within a 50 mile radius of here.

Wow!!! That's one huge pile of beautiful ladies! Congratulations! What a wonderful gift for you and your family! Truly the find of a lifetime!

 

[greg23]

That is the new record I think!!!!WOW

 

[nyiangelo]

There is something in the banner rules about there not being some similar find already up there at the moment. HOWEVER, with probably the largest find ever posted on here, I say put it up there.

 

[TxTim]

Looks like a Walker record to me.
Congrats!!!

 

[favored papa]

congrats that is so cool!!!!!! can I be next?

 

[ugotit22]

You want to laugh
in 2 yrs of CRh (and i do it alot) ive found exactly 11 walker. LOL
huge congrats id prob passout if the teller handed me those rolls
and i agree with other NO BANNER.. even though i would normally vote for it. We should have our own little banner that only us CRh can see

 

[mountainman 2]

I've never seen so many walkers in one place, Congrats! Just when we thought it couldn't get any better, we see this. You've just raised the bar to a whole new level! WTG on the load, Joad! OK, who's next?
