But I doubt it. lol A drunk guy went into a Circle K and tried to buy a 12 pack, the cashier told him to wait and ran over to the coin shop a "few doors down" to see if it was real and it was so she accepted it. I heard another story at the same shop about a guy who gave away a 1 oz platinum eagle to a kid that helped him get his car unstuck out of the snow..... was in his pocket.... lol   01-01-2009, 12:05 AM   #34 (permalink) Magman U.S. Money Collector     Join Date: Aug 2005 Location: Phoenix, AZ Posts: 3,193 My Mood: The one I heard was a kid spent it at a convenience store because he got it as a present.   01-01-2009, 12:11 AM   #35 (permalink) randygeki Coin Collector     Join Date: Apr 2008 Location: Flagstaff, Arizona Posts: 2,587 My Mood: Quote: Originally Posted by Magman The one I heard was a kid spent it at a convenience store because he got it as a present.

Oposite happened me, I went to get smokes and the guy at the register thought he had some fake quaters (they were very circulated quarters between 1940s-1950s) and I told him what they were and got about 5 for mychange. wonder if I would have kept quiet if i could have gotten them all   01-02-2009, 08:01 AM   #42 (permalink) 6StepStucky Member     Join Date: Jan 2009 Posts: 62 My Mood: Excellent find. It must have gotten your heart pumping. Isn’t it thrilling when unexpectedly out of nowhere, going about your business you get rewarded with a special gift? As you treasure the coin, treasure the moment as well.   01-04-2009, 10:00 PM   #43 (permalink) Coinman1974 Senior Member   Join Date: Jan 2008 Location: Boston, MA Posts: 285 My Mood: Congrats on that find. I work retail but sadly in the stock room. I only get on the registers ever so often, and most people now a days pay with credit cards....

It was in a changer that I was doing. I'm like you though. I break open coin rolls sometimes before I need them cuz I just have a feeling there will be something in there. Never is though.
