Ten Rolls of silver quarters from Bank yesterday.....

Unfortunately I was not the recipient of such good fortune.

I was second in line.

My client was lucky enough to buy 10 rolls of Canadian pre-1966 silver quarters from his bank teller for $10 each!!

His total investment was $100.

I'm the buyer who'ssecond in line, as I paid him $1350 (80% of spot) for them.

He's happy, I'm happy and the bank teller is still in the dark.

He said he was going to go back and give the bank teller $100, but I said 'don't".

Even though it's a wonderful gesture, I said "if you do, it'll be the last time you ever get a call from her again".

    He should give the $100 to you for purchasing the lot for actual melt. In many cases, you can purchase Canadian for below melt.

    Not necessary.

    I learned long ago that whatever price my seller paid for his coins is no business of mine.

    He could pay $1 or $1000, it doesn't matter.

    What matters is if $1350 for $100 of Canadian silver is worth it to me.

    And yes it is.

    I can get 90% anytime for it, which is $1530, so I'm fine with that.

    I'm not intending to flip it though.

    I'm buying silver for the long run and I figure I just bought 60 ounces of silver for $22.50 an ounce.

    Can someone clarify if this is pure luck, or do banks indeed have these silver quarters from time to time in rolls?
    They are circulated and sold as regular currency? Banks don't know any better?
