<p>[QUOTE="cwtokenman, post: 178714, member: 2100"]Stopped at the bank today and an older gentleman asked the teller next to me if he change exchange some coins for paper money. He was given approval, and brought a satchel back in. I know of at least several times when older folks have brought change in to that bank and had it turn out to be all silver. So as he moves in to the window I was vacating, I offered to buy all of his change. There were $240 in quarters and $28 in nickels. I go home and the first roll I pick up (recycled wrappers with one end still the crimped open end style) has a 1946 quarter showing on the end! I was getting pumped up! Unfortunately, that was the only silver coin in the whole 24 rolls. About a dozen of the state quarters had colorful toning on them, so I saved those as well. The nickels had nothing older than 1964.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
