Quarter Coin Rolls yield Lots

[Dr. Witty]

A friend of mine's girlfriend works at Aldi's. Yesterday a guy came in with $200 worth of quarters in coin rolls. Upon opening one of the coin rolls the woman discovered that most of them were silver. She called her boyfriend and he came over to replace the silver ones with the crappy ones we all use now. I'm thinking that these coin rolls were probably stolen. This is one good reason why you should never put your detecting finds into coin rolls.

Even junkies and meth heads have enough sense to go to a pawn shop...this was an estate dump by heirs from out of the area that could care less. Their loss is your gain. BTW, where in upstate NY did this take place (i.e. general vicinity of what city...)?

That’s what I’m thinking. When I was roll hunting, I’d occasionally find solid rolls of silver, at least a dozen times. Heirs just unknowingly cashing in rolls. Most folks are really dumb when it comes to coins, I had co-workers and family bringing 1964 nickels for me to ID after educating them on silver years. Then again, it could’ve been a crackhead using grandpa’s stolen silver because you know, only grandpas collected old coins. /s

DANG!! That's a lucky day there! Unfortunately, I think you are likely correct about them being stolen.

In all my years of coin roll hunting congratulations on that that’s gotta be the Best score of quarters I have ever seen and I have found a lot of them but never have I’ve seen that many standing liberties
