So, I walk into one of my Pick up Banks that I regularly go to on Saturday, and its like Its my Birthday, as all of the tellers are like Here he is... I walk up and the young lady and I converse, and she says that I am going to be happy today.. there were for blocks of quarters (each block is 10 rolls) that were brought in on Monday, and the person was the executor of an estate. I said I would take them all, and they also brought me a few rolls of dimes as well from the same estate. I will let the pictures tell the rest of the story.....         Grand total: 1119 - 80% silver quarters 190 - 1967 26 - 1968 Also I got 100 1967 dimes You can see the best of the bunch, 3 KGV quarters, and my first 1948. Also this is the first time I found complete rolls of silver, in all from the 4 blocks of quarters, all but 6 were complete, 1 was mixed, so skunked in 5 rolls. |

So 1300 quarters? At face?!?!?!
If my quick math is correct you got $325 worth of 80% at face!
You just made $3600!
Step 1: Smile and say thank you to tellers...
Step 2: Go out and buy them a lunch!
I would talk to the manager find out how many they staff they have on any day and arrange to cater a lunch.
Just my opinion... many times the branch employees will buy up the coins themselves at the end of the day.. Yet they saved them for you and were happy to see you come collect. Show them your gratitude... 30 employees at a $30 lunch and you're still up thousands!
Great thing is that's the kind of silver you can sit on for a LONG time or flip for immediate profit.
Congrats! Super happy for you!

More importantly, why not leave these as OBW and sell them on ebay like all the rest of those lots? Oh yea, because this is the fantasy version of those rolls come true. Find of a lifetime. |

I always give my banks chocolates as thank-you.
Yes I calculate about roughly 10x face so roughly $3300 (+-) Score.
Needless to say this is my biggest/best yet.

None of these were OBW (that I could tell) these were all CWR, and a few of them if not all were sitting for years, as you can see by the condition of the rolls
