Message:: [QUOTE="BUncirculated, post: 1447595, member: 29581"]Talk about luck ***UPDATE*** Just thought I would post an update to this. It's been over a month now since my brother, and his buddy, found the rolls of silver Washingtons and there have been some developments since I posted this thread. First, he did notify the police of the find and has held onto the rolls for the past month now. At the time, the police had no reports of any thefts of rolled change of this magnitude. However, after doing some digging they did find a very old report from 1967 of a theft of a cash box from the Student Council's bookstore at our old Alma Mater. They did catch those responsible; however, they never recovered the cash that was in the box at the time, and apparently the 8 rolls of Washingtons was just a small amount of what was the total amount kept in the box. But the S.C., received restitution as part of a conviction for petty theft of those responsible, the amount of $300. So they had been made whole at that time. When the old report of the theft was discovered, the current President of the S.C. was contacted by my brother and this is what will happen: By mutual agreement, my brother is going to sell the rolls, with my assistance, and a portion of the proceeds will cover the cost of a pig roast for the S.C. members, and their families, on July 4th, and the rest of the proceeds from the sale will be graciously donated to the S.C. to be used at their discretion. Even though technically my brother could legally claim ownership of the rolls, he decided that the Student Council is in more need of those funds than he is and decided to not only do something awesome for them, but also do something generous for them by turning over the remaining amount from the sale. Oh and the 51 Washington, that actually was the cause of the discovery, The S.C. President told my brother to keep it :thumb:[/QUOTE]
