<p>[QUOTE="hhearst, post: 5699, member: 777"]Define "valuable". You can do it at auctions if you get lucky. I was at an auction where my father-in-law bought 2 rolls of Sacagawea dollars for $5 each. Not really "valuable", but we always get a laugh about that one. We spent over $8000 that day, but nothing gave him more joy than that $10 lot. I was also once with him at Blockbuster. While paying at the counter, he heard a familar sound of silver coins (he is amazing). Anyway, it turns out, some came in a paid for rentals with silver quarters. The clerk happily gave those as change to us. And finally, once he was in Florida on vacation. He paid for some food for and saw the clerk bust open a roll of Delaware (I think) state quarters. So, he went up to the manager and offered him something (my memory is fuzzy here) for every roll he could find. As it turns out, this manager called around to all the other stores, got each of the rolls and sold enough to my father in law to pay for his vacation. </p><p><br /></p><p>So, nothing real valuable, but this thread is for fun anyway. </p><p><br /></p><p>Best Regards,</p><p> - Hal[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
