So my sister works at a bank....

She has been in the personal loan department for as long as I can remember. Well, they've started this initiative where they want all their employees to know all the positions in the bank. She's fought it tooth and nail, hates it. This week she is re-learning the teller position. She sent me a text yesterday that someone came in and deposited 5 rolls of halves and that she'd hold them for me if I wanted them. I asked her if she knew what kind they were, but she said no, they were rolled and she didn't even look. Well, I wasn't gonna say no, after all there could be silver in them thar rolls!

Today, I made the trip to her branch on the way to running other errands. When I got there, to be on the up and up, she had a different teller do the transaction for me. As the teller was getting things in order, she told me she had another roll if I wanted it. I said sure...toss it in there...couldn't hurt, right? She gets all excited that I wanted it...like it was a pain to keep around.




So, transaction done, I buy $60 worth of halves and my son and I thank them and leave. We couldn't wait till we got home we had to see what was in there! Thinking that my sister was really keeping a huge windfall under wraps, I figured I start with her 5 rolls that she initially called me about. Well, no windfall, but it did produce 2 '64s and a '68. Cool beans right?



Happy that I scored some silver at face value I moved on to the extra roll that the teller added to the pile...lo and behold....



















19 Franklins and a 64 Kennedy!



My sister will be getting a nice little finders fee

lucky dog!

 

Very nice and I like the way you presented the story. Kudos to you and your sister.

 

Holey carp! The funny thing is I have gotten dirty silver like that and the teller wanted to make sure I still wanted them even though they were filthy

 

@phankins11
Not your haul by any means but look what a relative put aside for me recently. They didn't know what it was.

 

Nice haul!!! That feeling of finding a whole roll of silver is incredible. A couple of years ago, I picked up some rolls of halves from a bank. The first two rolls were solid rolls of '64 Kennedy's, I was on cloud 9 for a week.

 

Pretty cool. You know, the treasurer of our club has made great relationships with a lot of the convenience stores where he delivers papers to on a daily basis. I'm constantly amazed by his stories of the cashiers still getting Morgans and Peace dollars from folks buying smokes and the cashiers just let hem have them for face value. They won't take extra because it looks like their scamming the drawer.

 

Nice!

 

Kool.. thanks for sharing!

 

That's pretty amazing -

 

Figured you'd like that

 

wow! you owe your sister half or a very very nice lunch/dinner. amazing finds

 

I think I love your sister!

 

We have a guy that comes to our local coin shows about once a year who owns a small bank, only one location that sells silver that he picks out of deposits. He doesn't collect coins at all, just what he stumbles across and he has usually has quite a large inventory and a few nice coins. Last year he had a CC Morgan and a 1921 Peace. What really surprised me is the amount of Morgans he had that were pocket pieces and worn so you can't even read the date. I can't comment on what else he had as I really only looked at dollars.

 

I'd rather have a sister that's a bank teller, than a brother who is the president. Congrats.

 

Yeah boy.

Wow
Great Haul

 

You got that right

 

WOW! Congrats!!!
