I heard the same story not two weeks ago here in Canada. The woman's husband owned a pool hall back in the 1960's and kept all the quarters from the pinball machines in 5 gallon pails. He recently passed away and they just rolled all the quarters (silver) of course and cashed them in at the bank.

Back in the 80's silver boom, it was the story of the family who hauled all of Grandpa's cans of paint to the dump. Only to discover when they opened one of the remaining in the garage that it was full of silver dollars. Of course the cans at the dump had been long buried.

I heard that story at least a half dozen times in a few different cities.

 

If you want to have fun with your postal clerk (get even) next time you see her, Say you know I've got my quarter collection complete except for the elusive 1975 quarter and I'm willing to pay $1000 for it. See how long she looks at the change coming in

 

Ha this thread cracks me up!

 

I will have to use this one!

 

1975 Quarter is elusive ? I have been dumping those. Since I pulled an entire clad set from circulation except for a handful of State quarters, I never noticed that.............go figure ?

Yep, I remember it now that you mentioned it. Goes with the dead woman hidden in the bedframe in a Las Vegas hotel room. I have heard that same story at least a dozen times with minor variations. In the 60's the best one was the '57 T-Bird sold for $10 because someone had died in it.

They are all pretty funny.

By that he meant an actual quarter dated 1975 (Which doesn't exist) instead of the 1776-1976 which I think is what your talking about.
