<p>[QUOTE=&quot;thedredge, post: 2546979, member: 37385&quot;]My best find would have been in the late 90&#039;s while I was on the road servicing my accounts in Saskatchewan. I arrived at Cymric which is just an old store sitting on the side of the highway. When I went in to exchange their product the owner asked if I would look at something for her seeing as she knew I collected coins.</p><p>So she goes to her office and comes out with 2 rolls of quarters. I opened the roll and slid them out and into my hand and to my amazement it was all silver. The earliest being 1950&#039;s and going back to the 1890&#039;s. I was so excited to see them but she quelled that pretty quick when I asked if she wanted to sell any and she replied NO! She said she had just back from the bank in Strasbourg to get change for business and this was what she had received but wanted to know what they were worth. I took some details and told her I would call in a couple days with the information. I figured if she got a couple maybe I could to, so I drove south and went to the Royal Bank in Strasbourg. As I had no money I used my Visa in the ATM and took cash out on it. I went up to the teller and asked if I could get 10 rolls of quarters. Well she only had 4 rolls she could give me so I took them and left. Sitting in my van I opened the first roll and it was all modern stuff, my heart sank as I thought then that there was no way I was going to get any. However opening the last roll I was delighted to find that beautiful look of silver. My roll did not go back so far, as my oldest was a 1908 and up and into the mid 40&#039;s. Still I turned my $10.00 into just over $300.00 and kept a few which I have to this day.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
