Coin Roll Treasure

Mr. Doe had been collecting coins for over half a century, and he found a good many silver coins in half-dollar coin rolls he bought from banks around his home in New Orleans.

But he gave up the hobby a few years ago, when the silver pretty much dried up.

A knee replacement operation left him rehabbing in his easy chair, and rather than just vegetate, he took up his old hobby of coin roll hunting again.

And this show tells the story of his unbelievable find.

Another good pod-cast Dan. I went back and listened to #95 also. My second time ever coin roll hunting I got 10 complete rolls of 40% silver halves. Face value $200. I sold them online for $900. Talk about beginner's luck!

Thanks for sharing Dan. What a nice story. Not even close to comparing with that, but my son and I were lucky to get $15 dollars of penny rolls last year containing 100% wheat cents. My son (10 yrs old) basically filled about three quarters of his coin book with those. Of course he didn't get ALL the rare dates, but some teens/20s s-mints which made his day. MD is my passion, but the occasional coin roll hunting trip is always a nice sidetrack! Thanks for sharing.
