<p>[QUOTE=&quot;sylvester, post: 1253210, member: 708&quot;]Not quite rolls but you might find this interesting anyhow, it&#039;s the closest I could get to roll searching where I am!</p><p><br /></p><p>Back in 2003 I was browsing eBay and I came across a bulk lot of &#039;spare US change&#039;, I thought well this can&#039;t be that interesting but I thought I&#039;d take a look anyhow. The dealer stated some coins went back to the 1910s through to about 1995. So I emailed him and asked if any of the halves, quarters or dimes were dated 1964 or earlier. To my surprise he said there were quite a few, although i&#039;m guessing from his descriptions and lack of mentioning it that he had no idea they were silver. So I thought right i&#039;m having that lot, I can&#039;t remember exactly what I paid but it was about 4X the value in face.</p><p><br /></p><p>I thought, well i&#039;ve probably paid well over and i&#039;m probably going to get about two or threee silver coins out of it. Well when they arrived I whipped open the package and started silver hunting. First was a 90% Kennedy, followed by three 40% Kennedys. Then four war nickels, three buffalos, a Barber Quarter, two Standing Libs, Six silver Washers, about ten Roosies and three mercs.</p><p><br /></p><p>To say I was delighted was an understatement, best bulk lot purchase ever. I suspect it was a one off though. But I can really appreciate the excitement of searching rolls. Sadly there&#039;s nothing of interest (read silver) to be found in circulation where I am![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
