<p>[QUOTE=&quot;woobacca, post: 1248961, member: 28912&quot;]<b>here&#039;s a good story</b></p><p><br /></p><p>i live in a little town in west virginia, and i have hit most of the banks around the area, so i travel to the other counties and look for rolls and boxes. i had a little bit of extra money, and got in the car, i drove over 200 miles to a smaller city than mine, and visited the local bank, it was a small bank, only the locals come down to do their finances. i approached the teller and asked her if she had any halves or dollar coins, she came back with these long yellow coin rolls about 3 of them to be exact. i started looking at them and noticed ike dollars. i purchased these rolls for 25$$ apiece, and the other teller came back with 4 rolls of halves, on the end of one of the rolls i seen a walking liberty, so i went on ahead and bought those too. then i broke down and bought a box of pennies. i got in the car and sped home.i started looking through the dollar coins and noticed the silver content all 5 were shiny peace dollars, a 1922, 3 1925&#039;s and a 1928. the second roll was mostly ike dollars and i pulled 2 more 1925 peace dollars. the third&nbsp; roll blew me away!!!! all coins were silver dollars!!!! most were common dates but one intregied me and it was an 1880 cc in about au condition. the halves were good also, i found 8 silver ones&nbsp; 2 franklins 4 jfk&#039;s and 2 walking liberties. the 1938 caught my eye aand i flipped it over....bummer.... no d. the cents were excellent found over 100 wheats 50 indian cents and found some older canadian cents from the 20&#039;s. the 1931 s wheat i found was harshly cleaned, it broke my heart, but i found it and stuck it in my collection. i found&nbsp; about 10 1909&#039;s. one looks like its in excellent condition. the indians were the usual finds 1900- 1907. the canadian cents were neat, i put them in my world coin book. and tons of error coins, clipped ones, off centered coins, over mint marks, some double dies and a blank planchet. when i decided to go back over there one of the majior branches bought out that little bank, and the bank is no more. sometimes i often wonder that if the economy is getting so bad that these elderly people are exchanging their older coins for cash???????&nbsp; i just dont understand this situation, but all i can say is that it was the best and amazing find i have ever found.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
