<p>[QUOTE=&quot;scottb, post: 762469, member: 20621&quot;]Just found this thread. Many years ago, my wife was a teller just out of college. One day a guy walked in and gave them a bag of 50 cent pieces for cash. When my wife heard the coins clunking heavily into the coin counter, she knew they sounded different.</p><p><br /></p><p>They were all walking liberties. She was able to buy them from the bank. They weren&#039;t worth grading, but she got $9 worth of silver for every 50 cent piece. We made a small buy decent profit. It was the only time it happened in the two years she worked there.</p><p><br /></p><p>My wife doesn&#039;t know much about coins, but was alert enough to grab those halves. I find it hard to believe a teller who said that a large quantity of coins from the 1880s just marched off to the vault without anyone there jumping on them. In other words, the odds are good that she was blowing some smoke.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
