<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Ripley, post: 1167369, member: 19199&quot;]You should ask her if Grandpa had any old Confederate notes laying around too.&nbsp; Sighhhh&nbsp; I hate to see the Bankers get that silver for face value. QUOTE=mattunion99;1167235]I went to our local post office to mail a couple of items that I sold on eBay. One of them was a coin. The lady waiting on me asked me if I collected coins, and I said yes. She asked me if I would like some old coins-I have learned to ALWAYS say yes. She gave me four Buffalo nickels, which was very nice and interesting (not worth much, as only one of the four has a readable date, but it was still a nice gesture.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>The unbelievable part came next. Come to find out, her husband had put those nickels in her change tray. I did the obvious, and asked her to hang on to anything that he brought in that looked old and interesting. Her response? The husband&#039;s grandfather had recently passed away, and as they were going through his possessions they remembered that he saved all his old silver change (I guess for a rainy day). Anyway, they counted over $10,000 in change, all of it containing silver! You know what I offered to do then-I would have taken out a loan and bought all the coins, but she told me that they just deposited it all in a bank about an hour away from here and used it to open CDs for their kids. She said, &quot;We just didn&#039;t have time to sort through that crap.&quot;</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Wow...just wow.<img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie9" alt=":eek:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
