Short-Changed On Several Quarter Rolls Wrapped By "Old Geezers" - But I Got The Last Laugh

I rarely search quarter rolls for silver coins because they are so large (and have enough intrinsic value) that I think most customers at least glance at them and might notice an old coin that contains silver. However, I've recently had such good results acquiring half dollars at a nearby retirement community bank that I decided to also purchase eight rolls of customer-wrapped quarters there -- hoping I might stumble upon another collection dump.

Not quite. Four of these rolls contained a recent Jefferson nickel substituted for a quarter, and I found a Canadian quarter in another roll. And three of them contained only 39 coins. "Typical behavior for residents of the Commonwealth", I mused.

Then I found a tarnished 1964 Washington quarter. Not exactly a collection dump -- but the value of this coin exceeds my losses due to the "petty crimes" committed by some residents.

I will stick with CRH half dollars.
