Silver Jackpot!

[madfranks]

A friend who works for a bank called and said some dude just came in and deposited some silver coins. They were in her till and all I had to do is go in and trade face value for them. $10 bought me:

$5 in Walking Liberty Halfs
$3 in Benjamin Halfs
$2 in Kennedy Halfs

Best part, they're ALL silver! I estimate that these silver coins are worth $60-$80!!! I got them for $10! What a deal! I'll never understand how some people deposit this kind of money! They could just as easily walk into a coin dealer and get way more than face value. Oh well, their loss, my gain!

Sorry for the crummy pic, I was in a hurry.

I would love to have friends like that.
I wander, can bank employees buy coins like that when they come in.

I don't understand why people do that either, but their loss is your gain!

Why swap them out unless they were stolen property and the theif didn't want to be caught with the goods.

Great haul... someone may have had no idea what they had. (or raided grandma's coffee can)
