June 20th finds:

The right place at the right time…

I went to one of my “dump banks” to drop off all of the rolls of coins I just searched.  While I was waiting in line, I noticed an older lady holding some RCM boxes.

I asked her what they were and she said that they were silver coins that she bought in 2014 that she was going to cash in for face value.

I asked her if she was willing to sell them to me rather than wait in line and she agreed.  Her husband had some “$20 for $20” silver coins that he also intended to cash in. 

I immediately went to the bank machine and took out money to buy the coins.

Time will tell if this was a wise decision…

Enjoy!
Dean

June 28th finds:

I managed to get some nickel dollars from the bank on Saturday.  I figured that I’d go and get some rolled coins too.

I’m glad I did, because out of $100 in quarters and $150 in dimes, I got:

$1.25in US coins
An RCMP quarter
An elusive 1970 dated dime
And best of all, a silver dime dated 1951!

Enjoy!
