Super Lunch Run.......

[LJ]

On my lunch break today I went to nearby bank to cash in my returns from yesterdays two boxes. Since I didn't have any boxes coming in today I stopped by a couple of banks that I had gone to back when I started CRH'ing in late January.

The first bank had 1 roll of halves.....2 40%'ers. The 2nd bank that I stopped at said they had 34 rolls. This same bank told me they had none a few months ago so either it was a lazy teller or someone dumped these rolls during that time.

When the teller brought them out I saw writing on most of the rolls. As she was laying them out to count them I saw rolls labeled 1964...some labeled 40%.....some labeled 1969 uncirculated......1966 uncirculated....some labeled 65-69.....I am thinking to myself.....OMG......could these be actually what they were. The teller made a comment about wondering why all the writing.....so I immediately started talking about how pretty the weather was....lol.

When I got to my car....I started checking these rolls......of the rolls I checked on my way back to the office, each roll contained exactly what they were labeled with. I got goose bumps!!!! I am about to leave the office and I am going straight home to check the balance, but I think there will be at least 20 rolls of full silver. I don't think I have ever been this excited on finds before.

Once I get home and get this all sorted out I will post pictures with the labeled rolls. What is sad about this is I envision some elderly woman bringing these to the bank after her husband has passed away....although I am as excited as I have ever been....I am saddened also. This has to be the case.....they were labeled EXACT!

I had to post.....more to come......

neat finds! that must have been stolen or someone who didn't know their value. like the old saying goes "their loss it your gain" i just can't believe you found that much silver! wouldn't it been nice to find a whole roll of 1970!

 

[SwampHunter]

Very nice haul! Congrats on the find!

Super find! It reminds me of the time a relative swiped some of my dad's coins... I think he traded them for drugs... or cash at a pawn shop.

Still, better for you to have them then a bank!

 

[ivan salis]

sadly thats just the kind of thing I'm talking about--today most honest "pawn" shops or coin dealers will make you show id and record the transaction ---thus making it hard for "crooks" to get "full" silver value for the coins without leaving a "paper trail"---so the crooks go outta town and dump them at the first bank they can find ar "face" value for "paper money" to buy dope or booze or whatever with.

Like some others said, go back to that bank and buy every roll of dimes and quarters, heck, ask them if they have any dollars, if the the tellers there are that dense, they might have rolls of Morgans kicking around...around here you're lucky to get any unmarked rolls that have not been picked through let alone ones telling you what's in them..

 

[LJ]

Thanks all. I think I will go back to see if they have any of the other denominations. You never know, it doesn't hurt to check.

I was just lucky because with these rolls being labeled like they were, the teller that took these in obviosuly didn't know anything about silver coinage otherwise they would have never even made it to the vault.

 

[packerbacker]

Better go back and check for dollars also. Never know
