[QUOTE="dr4g0n3, post: 919580, member: 25434"]some of you may have seen the roll searchers thread where I scored alot of halfs out of less then $90. Well here is another story for you. Im sitting at work and I get a call from one of the friends at the bank who wants to confirm the value of silver in a coin and what someone might pay. he says he has a customer in there right now putting silver quarters into the machine, I can hear them plinking away on the phone. I tell him to stop right now and get everything out. I find out that this customers grandpa died and he went to a coin shop and they only wanted to pay face value, and he needs to pay for the funeral. I find out this customer has already dropped $400+ into the machine, is half way through his bag and has two more sitting at home. Now I dont have the money to buy all these coins but I tell the bank manager that I will help this guy get alot more money through someone that wont rip him. so the manager stops the guy and gets to talking, and I find out that this guy is a friend of mine, I didnt know his grandfather passed but they need the money by the weekend. in return of my information my friend is allowing me to buy whatever I can (only $40) at face value. these coins range from the 1900 to 1964 from what I saw in the bag, some are worn, some are ms63+, from what I understand there is also older coins in the other bags too. my friend is coming over tonight with all his coins, im going through them free of charge and going to pull any rare's, dd's, high quality quarters out for him so he can sell them on ebay to make even more money for this funeral, or to save them. im going to be a kid in a freaking candy store and ill def take pics for you guys![/QUOTE]
