Maybe the depositor thought it was fake and actually believed they were shorting the roll by using it.

Im not gonna hate on that dude that's an amazing find. Someone here in anchorage did a drop in a veterans box and it was a gold coin. The only odd thing I found in a roll was a washer from a tool box.

If it were mine, I would buy a bezel ring and wear that puppy like a badge of honor. Or, you could sell it to me and I'll wear it for you.

Nice.

This is the point where you put the roll on ebay with lots of hype and typos.

Seriously though, nice find!

Thanks for all the replies! Sorry I have been gone for over a week since we just finished the holidays (inventory) and had to take my wife to Stanford for a medical issues.
Anyways, I wanted to answer a few of the questions. The coin was in a bank machine roll in a $25 box.
After the excitement wore off some I felt a little sad as this may be the best find I will ever have and its over. I only started searching rolls maybe two months ago so I'm still new and kind of slow. In the last month "same pile of rolls" I have found a 1969 DDO, and a couple dozen wheat pennies.
I have moved up to quarters and halves for the first couple months of the year as someone told me this is the best time as people empty their jars for christmas,so far I have had decent luck pulling silver. BoA had 2 silver Mercury dimes one is a rpm, 0 quarters or halves, Chase had 0 silver quarters or halves, dimes, Union Bank I usually get something 1 out of three rolls,they are right next to my store so I'm always there.

I do have one other place I have had good luck... going to the large grocery stores on the not so nice side of town and getting rolls from customer service. Something someone told me to try. Good mix of old coins, silver, pesos and the occasional canadian coin. One place gives them to me in plastic bags tied in a knot, they dont even use paper rolls LOL.

oh and visalia is about 5 hours from Oceanside!
