Message:: [QUOTE="Detecto92, post: 1755448, member: 75105"]I'm having a hard time believing this. There are 40 quarters in a roll, that's 80 rolls. That's well over a box. It's dang near impossible to find silver quarters in circulation, let alone 3,200 of them. This means that they have had to been around for quite some time. A coin collector would know better than that. A roll hunter knows better than that.  The kids of a dead coin collector would know he collected coins, so they would know they are coins worth money, and not just change he had sitting around. The only thing else I can think of...is that someone stole them, thinking they were quarters, and cashed them in.  If this is true, then there needs to be some investigating... I can see someone bringing in a roll or two of quarters as a mistake not knowing what they have..., but no one in their right mind brings in $800 worth of silver quarters without knowing what they are doing. It could be possible that the person who brought them in wasn't a teller at all, but rather another collector, and using that story as a cover in order to not let people think he was a collector himself, in order to not get robbed.[/QUOTE]
