Huge Find At Local Bank.

Well also the time to verify each coin roll and count them is a lot of time to safeguard against a missing coin or Canadian coin. Especially if they plan on selling that roll of coins at its intended value. So I can understand how 25 rolls of silver were able to get by tellers. Which is sad but at the same time it gives us roll hunters value knowing that every roll is not verified to be 100% current, non-silver coins.

I get that they can't go through all the rolls, but when both sides of each roll are old silver, it's pretty obvious it isn't a normal drop. I'm sure they at least look at the ends to make sure they are the right denomination. Wouldn't take more than a 5 minute training video to teach tellers what to look for.

Again, I just picture a broke old widow ignorantly cashing in her late husbands' stash, or a druggie who robbed someone and needed quick cash for a fix. Just makes me sad to think about.

A few months ago I received many accolades for receiving a few 40% Kennedys and Ikes at my bank. This puts me to shame!

I was going to say, just because someone is a bank teller doesn't mean they care a whit about coins. (The lady who gave me me the Ikes didn't even know who the person was on the coin.) I was a teller once and we never had any kind of training about rare coins or silver, which means the bank itself didn't care a fig about coins, either. They probably should--it's the business they're in, and I thought it was the government's job to take silver out of circulation.

not to mention the double stamped and other odd coins that people are just in a roll somewhere or someone is buying groceries with. that is part of the essence of the fun in doing this.
