<p>[QUOTE=&quot;wxcoin, post: 4201455, member: 74624&quot;]I had an aunt who shut my dad (her half brother) and her other half brother out of her life after their mother died in 1973.&nbsp; Other than seeing her once in 1978 at their uncles funeral, they had no contact with her. In December of 2008 my mother got a call from the county sheriff about doing a wellness check on her as a neighbor was concerned since she hadn&#039;t seen her for many weeks.&nbsp; Since my Dad was in the hospital, my mom and a cousin went to her house.&nbsp; The sheriff broke the door down and immediately wouldn&#039;t let anyone in.&nbsp; In the years since she shut out the family she became a horder.&nbsp; The house was unfit to live in.&nbsp; After digging through pile of trash the sheriff found my aunt&#039;s body.&nbsp; She was probably dead for several weeks.&nbsp; Afterwards, my oldest brother and one of my sister&#039;s went through the house before a hazmat company cleaned three big dumpsters of trash.&nbsp; They found a big plastic tub full of rolled up quarters and wheat cents.&nbsp; Knowing that I collected coins, I agreed to look through the change.&nbsp; It was a big waste of time for me.&nbsp; I went through over $600 worth of quarters.&nbsp; Most were state quarters and the rest clad from 1965-1998.&nbsp; All of the wheat cents were from the 40&#039;s and 50&#039;s and well circulated.&nbsp; For me, what started out as a treasure hunt became a monotonous adventure.&nbsp; I guess I became overwhelmed by the volume of coins I was going through and the realization that there wouldn&#039;t be any good finds.&nbsp; That pretty much took any enthusiasm I had for roll hunting.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
