SILVER JACKPOT!!!

[kalpinro]

I finally got one of those stories that I have been dreaming of to tell. I walked into the bank today ( to get my halfs which gave me one 40%er) and the teller told me that a guy brought in two rolls of silver quarters in yesterday. There policy is to run it through the machine and it ends up in a big bag with the other coins. Much to my surprise, they got the bag out of the machine and spent over 15 minutes retrieving silver quarters for me! WOW! I ended up with 51 of them including 3 standing liberties (one had the 2 and 6 visible and the others were no dates). Here is the list of what I got with some pics!

1926: 1

Very nice tellers to do that for you. That bank is a keeper.

I second parrothead. That bank is a keeper! Send them a christmas card or something, and keep going back! NICE HAUL!!

 

[whitesid]

lucky!! the teller got pissed at me cause she had to get out of her seat to get the rolls. some nice people you got there

 

[killerwine]

WOW!!!

Wow! Timing and luck were on your side today kalpinro! I'm putting your '26 on the "Oldest of the Year" list since it's the first Standing Liberty with a readable date.

Congrats on a find that we all dream about too!

 

[kalpinro]

Timing and Luck are the two big keys! Thanks Immy for putting my quarter for oldest date. I totally forgot about that poll.

Actually, you can truthfully say that you have found a Standing Liberty between 1916 to 1924......one of the dateless ones is what is called a pedestal date and not a recessed date.....sorry, I'm a coin junkie.....

OMG! You hit the silver jack pot! My dream!!! You said there were 2 rolls right? If you got 51 what happened to the other 29? There still in circulation go and get em!

Just thought of this kalpinro. Check the reverse of the dateless one on the lower left in your 2nd picture. Make sure there are three stars under the eagle. If there are no stars than you've got a 1916 or 1917.

Awsome!!!!!!!!! I need to get ahold of a bank like that!!!!!!!!!!

 

[kalpinro]

I am happy to get what I got. I did not want to push it and ask them to keep searching... As far as the stars. All of them had stars under the Eagle.

I wouldn't wait till christmas to send a card. I'd take them a small plant or box of candy now to show your appriciation. Don't cost much but they'll love you for it.

 

[ringding]

In addition to sending them a card, send their bank manager a letter saying how friendly and helpful those tellers are. Don't get specific and don't mention the silver, she may get jealous and may want to start collecting the silver for herself.

 

[kalpinro]

You are all right. You have to read my next post. It tops what I got yesterday. I will be sending a letter (vague) early next week

Ooooh weee,what a FIND! CONGRATULATIONS! I would have really had chest pains if I found those!
