I got somebody's inherited and unwanted (or stolen) collection. Silver Santa came early for me. 
I stopped at the last BOA that will sell me coins (they still don't know I closed my account almost a year ago) and picked up $100 in dimes and $40 in nickels.
I crack open the third roll of dimes and find this.
The other 19 rolls yielded a total of 566 Ag coins.
421 Rosies
142 Mercuries
1 Barber
2 80% Canadian
The nickels yielded;
22 buffaloes, 16 with readable dates
3 liberties
2 very clean '43 WN's
This is the mother load I have been looking for sorting for a year and a half now. Needless to say, I am in an excellent mood.
I will be at the bank 9:00AM sharp Monday morning, prepared to buy every single CWR of everything they have in the building. I will be taking pre sorted rolled coin with me so I can exchange for the rolls they can't spare to sell.

As far as I know, it is stated "In God We Trust" on the US dollar. How can I trust this currency if I do not believe in God?
Possession is nine-tenths of the law.
When I give my two cents, they're always copper! |

I am just starting dimes and love hearing this. Big time congrats!
My guess is you got grandmas rolled coins.
Certainly just like roll content in 1960 or before.
Were the wrappers old or new?
Wowwweee!
If you aren't looking, putting yourself in the path of opportunity, you aren't getting.

I like your followup plan. Be sure to take plenty of fiat so you don't get caught short. Be sure to ask for BIG Dollars too.
Thanks for sharing with us.. so we can all get a vicarious thrill as if the Great Silver Pumpkin decided to visit our own little coin patch. |
If your percentages are low.. just sort more. If your percentages are high.. just sort more.
Let me see if I understand this? If you cross the North Korean border illegally, you get 12 years hard labor; the Iranian border illegally you are detained indefinitely. If you cross the US border illegally, you get a driver’s license, a social security card, welfare, food stamps, free health care!

| You must have been incredulous when you opened that first roll, and then kept finding more, roll after roll! Was your pulse racing? What a thrill!! |
Hoard now and hold on!

That is so cool. Makes all the strange looks and snears I'm sure you get from "normal" people laughable now.
Since I've been getting my coins in bags its been easier but I know I've been missing out on the cwr.
Keep up the good work and thanks for sharing your good luck with us! |
