Continuing my other thread on the silver dime hoard I ran into.
So the next day I went back and asked for all her CWRs she has- using my business as a justification for all the coinage. She asked me how much and I repeated to her "all" & smile.
She happily abided and took out a box of CWR of quarters, nickels and $15 of pennies.
Have not gone thru the pennies yet. A few nickel rolls are solid roll from the Jefferson early years but no silver yet.
But the high lite of this excursion was the quarter rolls. Midway thru the box a single 1964 quarter showed up. Ok, good start. Then a few rolls later a near solid rolls! I nearly floor myself as I have ONLY read about these legendary quarter hoards and in my CRH history, finding only 1 silver quarter from the bank/CWR roll. Later I find another near solid roll and another half roll of silver.
Tally:
90 silver Washington quarters
5 SLQ (all dateless)
95 total!

Tis the CRH season now just before the actual holidays where people dump their inherited collections to get the latest gadget they so desperately need.
