Circulation find(kinda)

One of the requirements of working in financial services is collecting rolled coins from the public in exchange for folding money. When I have acquired enough to send to the Feds, I get to unroll and pile up bags of each denomination($50-One Cent pieces, $200-Nickels, $1000-Dimes and Quarters). I noticed today that someone deposited several rolls and we had enough to bag up some Washies. I don't have the time or patience to search roll beyond making sure there are 40 in there and that they are quarters...but I guess my ears are able to hear 90% when it plops into the bag. I heard it clearly today and after a quick search....welcomed these 3 new friends:

The only requirement for depositing coins with us is they have to be wrapped in standard rolls and the person has to include the account number. I have covered that for privacy and security purposes obviously. Oddly enough....the person who rolled these actually buys and sells on Ebay...but apparently does not dabble in anything silver or coin related! :D

    Silver in circulation is always a great find. Good ear @Hallco!

    That's a great feeling; isn't it? Makes me want to go out and get a box of halves- found a good amount of silver but...I opened hundreds of rolls too. The thrill of the hunt...
