How $15 ballooned to $200 in several minutes.

Good grab for you & all but ya know they came from one more senior citizen in our country just trying to make ends meet & not understanding the true value of the coins.
To bad there wasn't a relative around w/ some knowledge on such things or even a relative around to help out with the need to make ends meet.

How 'bout you take half of your good fortune/find & give it back to an elderly person in your community that needs help for food, heat, or prescriptions. It certainly wouldn't be hard to find. Just imagine...maybe some beat down old WWII vet turned them in just to try & eat that week.

No replies...? Did I hit a nerve?!! Are we all feeling guilty?


Peace

 

hit a nerve? i doubt it. comments from nowhere dont need a response. But there is No reason to feel guilty here. he went to the bank, asked for rolls, and recieved a gift. the teller who took them in, should feel the guilt IF they knew what was in the roll. otherwise, nobody was hurt. the person turning them in did so on their own free will .. neither YOu now I know why they did or who did it. so whats the point of speculation for the sheer point of starting an arguement?

 

I guess "comments from nowhere" did get a response.


All I was saying is "great find' but it was just one more example of our seniors turning "rolls" in just to survive. Donate halve of his good fortune to a needy cause around our eldely....that's where it came from.

Of course you are a greedy B & just doesn't care about people being taken advantage off........

Let him decide if he should give a lil back to a charity or not......I will start poking with a stick, lol.


Peace

 

Phoenix, would you be "stoked" if it was a grandparent of yours turning them in to eat or just have some heat.


Cheers

 

You don know many of us are in different time zone and work schedules, right?

 

I go though a whole box of dimes and in the second to last roll I find one piece of silver....:headbang:

and you found all that

Yup I am jealous.:vanish:

Just kidding, lucky lucky lucky!

Just goes to show you, you never know what you are going to find!

Congrats!
Just think, I was in line behind you!
[Not, but it makes me fell better.]

 

This is a ridiculous comment.
Perhaps you should take half of the unrealized gains from your collection and donate them.

How do you know the source?

Making others feel guilty from their own good fortune is not a fair thing to do.

I, for one, feel happy for him.

 

I second that.

 

Dido.

Sorry I missed that earlier or I would of spoken up.

 

Another Kool-Ade drinker who thinks every senior citizen is one step closer to being homeless! Stop watching the left leaning media.

 

Thank you!

 

Congrats on your pickup!

Ditto!!!!!!!

And again Ditto!!!!!!

Thanks for the comment.

I couldn't agree more.

besides, who is going to feel sorry for us (our generation) in thirty years or more when social security is only a term in crossword puzzles and on Jeopardy.

 

Now here, I think you are being a bit assuming. Like I said, you do not know it was an elderly person. It could have been someone going to colledge that got them as a gift that turned them in. Or it could have been the family of a coin collector that passed away that didn't want to bother with selling them to a dealer. No offense, but assuming that every older coin or silver coin at a bank got turned in by a senior citizen just doesn't make much sense to me. IMO, if the original owner really did care about making some money off of them, they probably would've done a little research, or have taken them to a coin dealer. True, it could've been an elderly person trying to make ends meet, but it could have been a lot of other things too.

cool finds

 

i had a customer had a large amount of rolls a few months ago. you could tell it was from a collection. i only got 2 rolls for myself. one was a 1961 p roll of bright white shiny quarters, only the 2 end coins were toned. i also grabbed a roll of 1961 dimes in the same condition. i still have 20 rolls or more of 1962, 1964 and 1967 nickels at work that i havent changed out yet. nothing like sweet finds like that

 

I, for one, am flabbergasted that someone would try and claim MY 2 rolls of quarters and dimes and as for that other guy who thinks I cashed them in so I could pay the heating bill, I spent them on a hooker called Molly Mounds!

Ribbit :whistle:

 

i dont know of anyone who would kiss toads for any amount
