<p>[QUOTE=&quot;BUncirculated, post: 1418372, member: 29581&quot;]My brother called me last night and asked me if I could list an item for sale on craigslist.com for his hunting buddy. While I was posting the ad for him, he was telling me that they were in the woods behind our alma mater yesterday, heading to their fishing hole and he noticed something shiny on the ground in some rusted metal near the fence. </p><p><br /></p><p>He bent down and picked it up and it turned out to be a 51 Washington quarter. He also noticed part of a plastic bag sticking out of the ground under where the quarter was, and when they dug it up, it had 8 rolls of pre-64 Washington quarters. </p><p><br /></p><p>So I go down there this morning, he lives about an hour and a half from me, to see if he has anything rare, what condition they were in, etc. </p><p><br /></p><p>All are quite circulated, nothing rare at all, dates ranged from 51-64. He was thinking of changing them in at the bank and I said whooooooaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaanoooooooooooo you don&#039;t. He wasn&#039;t aware that pre-64 contain 90% silver and the total melt value of all 8 rolls is a little more than $1800. </p><p><br /></p><p>He fell off his chair when I told him that, but when he was telling me on the phone last night about finding 8 rolls of Washingtons buried in the ground, I fell off my chair definitely.</p><p><br /></p><p>So I told him, to hang on to them as they have silver value for sure. I told him if he thought of selling them to call me and I would hook him up with some reputable places near me that buy silver coins and would give him a good price for them. </p><p><br /></p><p>Good thing he called me before he did anything with these rolls. He was going to change them at the bank Monday morning for face value.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
