<p>[QUOTE=&quot;OldDan, post: 61993, member: 1872&quot;]I will start off by saying “Yes”. I believe it is entirely possible for this to have have happened, just as you described.</p><p><br /></p><p>I knew of an old man that owned and operated as it’s President, the Weld County National Bank of Greeley, Co. while at the same time serving as an advisor to the U.S. Mint at Denver when it opened.&nbsp; He collected coins and had made it a habit to bring home a roll of most every denomination minted at Denver (especially the silver).&nbsp; I know he had both the 16D as well as the 21D Liberty head dime.&nbsp; There were also a bunch of rolls of very nice Barber dimes in his vault. He left the Mint in 1939 and handled all his collecting from his&nbsp; office at the bank. He passed away in 1958.</p><p>His son had started working at the bank in 41 and he helped run the place until he retired in 1966.&nbsp; Up until the time he died in 1982 he&nbsp; built upon his fathers collection by trading coins he had for the ones needed to complete the collections.&nbsp; There for, a number of these rolls were used, or partially used to accomplish this task.&nbsp; The last time I looked there were still a few rolls and partial rolls remaining in storage.&nbsp; I do know that none of them are for sale or trade in the foreseeable future.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
