I got a chance at some silver.
Posted: Fri Jun 01, 2012 5:12 pmI went to my main penny dump bank today which is an hour away from my home (closest with a free counter). I was on my way back from work, so the distance doesn't matter.
As I enter the bank, I see a man and a woman at the machine. They had coffee can after coffee can full of coins. At first, I thought "man how long will I have to wait." I recognize him as my 7th grade shop teacher.
He was dumping coins for the estate of his deceased neighbor. They were just about finished. He had a handful of rejects that he was putting in for a second pass. One was a 67 kennedy. I bought it for $1.
He said that his neighbor was a hoarder. This was his second trip in. The first one involved several trips with a hand cart.
Anyway, he said that there is some silver and that I can come over to his home and buy it. I am going to call 3 of the local buyers in the are and average what they say they will pay.
I am also going to see if he has more change to get rid of. If he does, I will offer to bring over my coin scan and count it for him so I can go through it.
