Mr Skunkmaker turned in the wrong roll. :'( :'( You know he put that aside and even taped both ends then grabbed it by mistake and deposited it. Wonder if he rushed back to the bank to try and get it back just as you were walking out the door? >:(

I once found a silver quarter, put it on the kitchen table and my wife spent it. I didn't say "don't touch" she now knows what silver looks like.
 

Sometimes people make mistakes. Thats why we painstakingly search every one we find. I can only dream of solid silver, that is AWESOME!
 

Man thats awesome, I can't wait till I find a solid roll too!!!!! :thumbsup: :thumbsup: :thumbsup:
