Awesome find !!!!! Congrats to you and Franklin.

Congrats on the great find! That definitely qualifies as one of the top coin counter finds. Was it out of a CoinStar?

[Hawkeye]

That is just awesome. Made my day.

From the inside of this the lead teller when she cleans it save what inside for Franklin so she pulled it and gave it to him with more coins.

Update I went by and told the teller what she gave Franklin and she said she would do it all over knowing it made his day. She said keep her name and bank off any post as people can get odd over money. She also said she has a step brother with autism who is like Franklin.

Lucky ME my bank gives everyone all rejects from their deposits

[hirbonzig]

Way to go on the awesome find!! Seems like you have to go to Oregon to find gold in your bank pickups.

I noticed that too. Other than I don't know where kestrelia is from, all the gold finds have been from Oregon.

On a sad note all of Franklin's finds comes at someones loss and the city of Medford were we live is sometimes called "methford" as in drug meth. So are finds might be from a druggy. This movie might keep your kids from trying the stuff http://www.facesofmeth.us/drugs_to_mugs.html.

Fixed the list! Anyone have other found gold coins to add?

[twoten01]

Not me, but my mother found the 4 coin 1986 AGE set in one of those plastic holders, at her bank a few years ago. After a certain time period, she was able to keep them, when they were never claimed.
