Nice find. That actually happened to me in the late 90's. My wife used to do the bank runs for her company. She saw someone bring in $100 face of Walkers. She bought them on the spot. I think I sold them about two years later. No keys or anything. Oh if I had them now!
...ummm. i'm sorry but i'm gonna need a video of the actual bank and teller making the transaction before i believe

I understand the lightheartedness of the statement , but in all fairness anyone can fill a roll with silver and film it being "opened" no offence intended.
My bank will not accept rolls. And if they are rolled, they'll break them open and run em through the counter anyway. My lady friend teller has advised me that any silver becomes hers. So I don't really have a choice. My bank has three branches. Those three branches she's always hopping around to each one working. So I don't bother.
While this may be a rare case of getting lucky, I guess I'm more curious about the particular bank. I will give you the benefit of the doubt as I do everyone else in this world. Nice find.

Thinking along the same lines, possible it's legit, slight possibility. With silver @ $40 it's tough to believe someone would cash em in for face value. I may be wrong. Years of roll searchin for just a few 40% halves.
Had a gas station proprietor bring me a paper wrapped roll of 90% quarters last week. A little old lady spent them for gas. The seller claims he told the lady they were worth a lot more than $10, and she replied: I don't care! Gimme my gas!
My prior biggest find was 4 solid rolls of 40%ers. After that, a few solid rolls of 40%ers, half a roll of 1964's, then it drops off a cliff. Did get 60 silver dimes in a bag of dimes off a counting machine before, that was awesome... It comes and goes.
I heard about a girl who brought a baby food jar she got from her grandmother to the one of those guys buying gold and silver. After she got his offer (I think it was like 15x face), she started crying. Turned out she had cashed in $60 worth of that change the previous day at the bank.

So, about 3 gallons of gas for about $290.
Oh well, I know I've done some ignorant things in my life...
<<It's a legit find, you can question it all you want. I have a pretty good rep elsewhere on coin forums for not being a BSer>>
I'll take your word, awesome find, you might go on a dry spell though, very signifigant for a single haul. Like I said earlier, a few 40% halves over a 10 year period. Scott
No problem, MC. Great find. I received two rolls of canadian silver dimes out of 5 rolls earlier this year. Didn't know it for several days, before I got a chance to go through them. Here, everyone is trying the halves and quarters, but very few do the dimes. Only time I have ever gotten a whole roll, much less two. Congrats. Jim

The last silver coin I received was a 38 S Dime in VF 30 fifteen years ago. My sister got it, knew I collected coins, and gave it to me. These days, I'm lucky if I find a Wheatie in change.

No keys, one BU '62. Not FBL.
The video is unlisted, so you can only see it via a direct link. Trust me, last thing I want is more competition.
I dream about that happening to me. Good find.

Grabbed my phone and filmed it... Crappy quality in the beginning, but after I pick it up, it gets better.
