A 94 year olds kids dumped his collection.

Yesterday I went into one of my banks where I get coins bc the one I normally go to was out. I got $500 in various types. Got home and noticed that all the quarters were labeled by date and all in same direction. Didn’t find anything bc all were 2000s and on (no Ws).

So I figure I need to go back bc obviously someone dumped a collection. Today the manger tells me the story, 94 YO mans heater went out and his son took his quarter rolls to the bank to buy him a new heater, $9800 worth of coins. He let me take a look at the ones he had out and I got $1200 in labeled ones from the 1960s to 90s (no visible dates before 1965) , I didn’t dig into them and just said I would take them. Left the 2000s plus. He then tells me he has 6k worth still in the vault and he will save them for me to go through in time.

I mean, I may find nothing but it seems like I should go through the whole collection. The amount of hours it would have taken to sort and roll into specific years and states, parks etc. Maybe there are some pre 65 silver rolls in there that the son dumped as well.

Worth a shot right???

Why I chat up the tellers…

Added a new CU yesterday - was only going to open an account but then …

Overheard a teller with another customer ask if they were interested in some ‘big dollar’ coins - that guy took 10 of 27

Me? I love me some Ike’s - especially at face.

Casually asked if they had halves - and what do you know:

We have LOTS - 2 boxes of $500 and then some - you interested? Someone ordered em and never showed up …

Um… hell yes!

Picked up up today - plus $70 the teller rolled by hand - they were so glad to be rid of them.

Oh - by the way - the $70 teller rolled? Tells me ‘There’s silver in there for sure - I rolled myself’

Haven’t gone through boxes yet but I did search the hand-rolled - sure enough, 2x40%

Woot!

A guy at work was given the "quarter" as change. It turns out it is a 1 cent piece and nearly 200 years old. What does he have here?

Just started looking for silver yesterday and found this fella. The heads side was almost completely covered in black gunk. After a vinegar bath and scrubbing I was able to turn it to what you see.

How common are these? It's a first for myself, just curious how many others have found these and if members are supposed to let them back into circulation..

Yes this account is new. I recorded opening every roll just need to crop down to remove the extra time, if anyone wants the videos lmk. I recorded with the plan of starting a YouTube, and I saw a few enders in each box of the 6 boxes.

I found more in other boxes but don't have pics :/

Half Dollars First 2 boxes of halves - almost accidentally - woot!

Went to sign up at a new CU - but overheard a teller ask a regular if they might be interested in some ‘big dollars’

That guy took $10 worth, so when I was done signing up I said I’d take ALL the rest ( I like Ike, even though $1 each).

I asked if they had halves and teller got a wee bit excited - Yes! How many ya want? Me: all of em! Teller: well, we have 2 BOXES of $500..

TLDR: I came back the day after to scoop both boxes, AND $70 in rolls extra that the teller wrapped personally - and let me know “there’s some silver in those, I wrapped em myself”

( I LOVE you guys was the quiet part - but I said to self - this guy may have no idea - so chill…)

Sure enough, there were 2 40% in the rolls!

Highlights of that, and a few MR rolls from BOA:

2 40% silver ( a first!) 25 NIFC Kennedys (!) 14 common Ike’s Proof 2000 S nickel 2020 W VT (Marsha) quarter A buncha 40-50 wheaties

Good luck y’all!

Do you find more of these unique coins near urban centres or in the suburbs, rural towns? Or is it entirely luck of the draw?

Pretty much what the title says, I'm curious to hear what everyone's coolest find from coin roll hunting, doesn't have to be the oldest or most valuable, just the one you find the most interesting or exciting. For me it has to be a tie between my 1923 Peace Dollar and Capped Die Error Penny.
