Today I bought a bank hoard of commems!

I had an appointment to meet the president of a small bank today. The bank is in a town of about 1000 people. He had called me last week to see if I would look at some coins for him. The president is about 70 years old and his father also worked at the bank when he was young. I go up stairs to his office and all the coins are lying out on his desk. Almost all were junk silver and common dollars AG-F. Then I open this tray that has 250 uncirculated Washington Carver Half Dollars. Wow a real bank hoard. The president couldn't tell me why they had them except that they were always in the vault as long as he could remember. What an exciting day. I have never seen so many of these commems at once. I have tried to post a photo but they seem to be to large to post.
