best find yet
Posted: Wed Jan 05, 2011 7:52 pmhere is a story:
I picked up $800 in boxes this afternoon, which I never do, I generally just do bags but I am behind on orders so I ordered some boxes. I got the boxes home and started busting rolls as the machines were running bags that I got yesterday. I had forgotten how much it sucked to bust open all those rolls, I pittty you guys who do that all the time. after 3 boxes or so my 7 year old daughter came down into the "dungeon" to help me out. Her mother had given her the " you can do the dishes or go help your father" talk....and she chose help your father. She has helped me several times before and is a great help. I razor knife the rolls from end to end and then she busts them open and pulls the wheats and canadians as i fill the machines and pre run the loose coins and pack the done copper for shipment. As she busted the rolls she found about 100 wheats, many canadians, a 10 cent foreign silver coin, one dime, 3 2009 coins...she was on her 6th box (yes thats 300 rolls, and she is only 7) and she pulls a coin out and says: "dad, is this some sort of wheat?" I looked at it and it was a 1882 Indian with full liberty, it had some green gunk on it but had very little wear and was in decent shape. I tried to explain to her how rare that was and how I had only found a few indians in ALL the coins I had searched, and that to find it an a nf string box was even more rare....she just looked at me and said " i am a pretty good finder arn't I dad?......Yes you are KId....
the best find yet, may not be the most valuable as far as its monetary worth.....but it may still be the most valuable.
