A dissapointing treasure

About six months ago I was at an auction where about a dozen units were being auctioned. After the first few units were auctioned we were standing around and heard a women screaming. We went over and she had a box with 44K in it. Upon closer inspection she realized all the bills had teh same serial number, counterfits though pretty realistic looking ones. What a dissapointment for her.

Haha man I would be so pissed if that happened to me!

Yeah, what a bummer!  I got a locker once with 3k in American Express Travelers checks (6 x $500) and I called AM EX, and they were legitimate numbers, and they were not signed!  Everything was looking pretty good until the lady at the bank noticed that it was missing a couple of the security features.  I was at the bank for an hour and a half while they checked them out and the banker guy was on the phone with American Express.  They turned out to be counterfeit, and AM EX wanted me to file a police report.  I ended up running them through a shredder and then burned them on the burn pile!  Easy come, easy go!

Oh man, talk about a let down!

The most cash I've ever found would be in the $40 to $50 range, often in jars of pennies, dimes, qtrs, etc and of course some bills now and again.

Collectible coins another story with my best being two coins in 2 different lockers. One 1816 50 cent piece with strangely worn outer edge...still went for $25. I kept it for awhile considering its history as being minted just 4 years after the war of 1812.

The other good coin was a silver dollar minted in Carson City, NV. Forget the year, but not the $72 I got for it.

I have found over $4K in one unit before it was mostly in 1 dollar bills.  I normally only find a few dollars but I have had other units with over $100 in them.

Most i have found in cash is 38 dollars. This was mostly coins, with 3 one dollar bills.
This was in a unit i paid 170 dollars for.

I found a big box of old baseball cards and comics from the 50's soaked in soy sauce.The box above it contained a bunch of bottles with no covers on them.One was soy sauce that tipped over.This was 20 years ago at a barn sale.What a waste.That was a bad day,because i bought a coin collection for $150 and they were all fake coins.The coins were really for education.I guess i should of read the fine print on the back of the book were it said these are not real coins.

Upon closer inspection she realized all the bills had teh same serial number, counterfits though pretty realistic looking ones.

I found 15 $100 bills while cleaning up the nightclub.  Same thing, really exited, untill I noticed they didn't look "right".   Closer look the serials were the same.

Guess its better i found them on the floor and not my till.....

I turned them over to police but years later thought back.....they only asked a couple questions then left.  No report.  Didnt ask for ID or contact ino. No checking our tills.  Never a followed up.

I'm thinking the cop just pocketed the bills.
