<p>[QUOTE="coinhead63, post: 1059998, member: 28001"]slamster17: Stuff like this shows up when somebody is going through stuff when a relative passes away. In the bottom of the sock drawer aapears to be a bunch of loose change. They dump it in a jar and off they go to deposit it in the deceased person's account not knowing that it isn't a bunch of common change. Years ago I was in good with a teller at a bank in Arkansas that would call me when old or odd stuff would show up. One day she gave me a call and asked if there ever was a 20 cent piece. I asked her to hold it for me and I drove at the speed of light to get to the bank. It was an 1875 S and she had some other coins for me. Two Morgans, 10 walkers, nearly a roll of SLQ's and a $20 gold certificate all at face value. I offered to pay her more than face but she couldn't accept it so I took her out for a very nice dinner.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
