Hi ; Just a happy story I'd like to share. Sitting at home on Sat and I get a call from the local bank, the teller informs me that a person has dropped off about $117 in Nickle dollars and what they said are very old nickles in about 30 rolls. I head to the branch and end up buying for face , the nickle dollars, the 30 rolls and a 1965 $.50 coin (ahead of face already). Well a couple of the nickle dollars turn up to be city souvenier tokens so now I'm getting close to back to face.
Ah the rolls, pulled about 300 1922 to 1936 along with two 1925's,(no 1926's)two mint wrapped 1965 rolls, a 1964 xwl and the rest all pre 1970.
WHAT A GREAT DAY, so today a box of chocolates was delivered to the teller.

It sure made a nickle collector happy

I may not be a Canadian coin collector, but that's a fantastic find! I bet the teller likes chocolate....

It's more lucky for you to have such a nice teller than to score on such a big hoard itself. My teller would probably keep all coins to herself.
