Inherited or stolen? Or a good soul putting silver back in circulation?

    Maybe none of the above?
    Perhaps he was a collector who needed his nic-fix and didn't care.

    I am more of a kind that grandma passed and these coins were in her jewelry box. They were rejected by the coinstar machine so they were simply spent.

    My opinion? Anyone who had legitimate claim to these coins suspected long before yesterday that they were worth much more than face value, and ample opportunity to redeem them for such. Therefore, I'm inclined to believe they were spent by someone not having legitimate claim to them.

    Especially when a carton is a minimum of $40 - had to look that up because I gave up smoking almost 29 years ago. I only ever bought a carton once, to take to the Soviet Union - Marlboro Reds were the gold standard there.
