Update: Went back to the bank today and got another $400 of rolls, of which $340 were part of the same collection dump. Can't wait for those flips to arrive so I can break into it...  |

@fplagge, sadly, I would guess that it's the other way around and that someone's parent died, which is why their "silly State Quarter collection" got dumped at the bank. I'm just glad that I was able to rescue it before any of the proofs saw circulation. |

Another update: I just took the clad business strikes from the first collection dump to a different branch of the same bank and asked to exchange $100 of them for more quarters and deposit the rest. The teller finished counting my coins and came back with another bunch of rolls and said "we've got two of you now! Another customer just dropped off a huge pile of quarters the other day. I know these wrappers look just like the ones you deposited, but I promise they're different coins." I immediately told her I changed my mind and I wanted to buy them all. In total, I got another $400 of coins from the same collection, and have already checked one roll and saw a silver on the second coin before closing it. Will be busy today with class, but plan to hunt these as soon as I have the time!  |

@Shantiom Haha why yes, actually. Sorry, I've been neglecting to update, but it turned into an enormous haul. All told, about $900 of quarters from the same collection and then I went back and ended up discovering that the same person dumped nickels and dimes as well. Finished with roughly 150 silver proof quarters, 200 clad proof quarters, 200 proof nickels, 60 silver proof dimes, and 60 clad proof dimes all dated 1999-2008.
