Just saw a bit at the end of the 10:00 news where a retired Chicago police officer claimed an abandoned SDB through the state's abandoned property claims process. The state treasurer's office delivered the contents today. Three canvas bags containing 2700 silver dollars. Looked mostly like Morgans. Melt is about $67,500, but they neglected to mention that on the news. All they said was what the face value is. Of course, now he's ripe for the picking by sharks and slimeballs, so hopefully he doesn't get robbed -- figuratively or literally.

If he is a retired cop, he's used to dealing with "sharks and slimeballs".
