<p>[QUOTE="heavycam.monstervam, post: 3034220, member: 73448"]Years ago my uncle was working on a house where an old-timer had passed away and the relatives we're trying fix a few things before selling it I believe. As Legend has it when he got down into the crawl space he noticed two or three coffee cans full of silver dollars and another box full of pennies and nickels mostly in wrappers. He came back up out of there and told the owners I got to run to the hardware store to get a part...I'll come back and finish the job tomorrow and buttoned-up the entrance. He came back the next morning at about 5 a.m. and eased down in there got the coffee cans and eased back out and took off with them. Of course he never came back and do the job that day as he was shopping the coins around at coin shops.</p><p>He ended up getting $15 a piece for the silver dollars ($1700 total) and I asked him if they actually looked at any of the dates he said no they just ran them through a machine. So it sounds like to me he ripped the homeowners off and the coin shop owner ripped him off...</p><p>To this day I still drool thinking about what may have been in there<img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie20" alt=":banghead:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /><img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie96" alt=":vomit:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /><img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie87" alt=":sorry:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
