Just scoped out a 46D wheat in a dunkin donuts tip cup, it's a hole filler for me! Don't worry, I replaced it and then some
Several years ago the local pharmacy had one of those little clear donation boxes for some animal charity, I spied a 1926 wheatie in there and offered the clerk that I would replace that coin with a $1 bill if she would open the box with the key and let me take that coin only. I felt crazy doing that, but she took me up on the offer and I actually put $2 in the donation box.
5 Lincoln Cents including 4 crummy shield cents. But a 1937 Wheatie hole filler. Put the 4 shield cents back in and printed a receipt for the 4 cents and left it on the shelf.
Today my son was going out on a date with his young lady friend and wanted to take her to dinner. Had to take him to the credit union to get some dosh for the date, I went in and checked the reject slot in their coin machine and amongst all the dust, sand, paper clips etc was this thing: It has been flattened a bit, but the date shows with magnification(not apparent in cellphone pic) as 1865! Oldest coin machine find ever, couple of weeks ago found a 1902 cent that had a slight bend in the same machine. The oldest find was an 1898 Barber dime about three years ago.
LOL! I should remember that. I tend to just put boring stuff on the counter for the next person, though. I figure maybe it'll find its way to somebody who really needs it.
One time I had a supermarket employee scoop up the coinstar rejects about 5 seconds before me. She said she puts it in the animal shelter donation jar. I offered to buy the silver (there was at least one dime I saw). She said "no, I keep that..."
Dang! I tried that about a month ago for this beautiful sight.it's a 1962 quarter. There was also a wheatie in the box. No cigar on either coin though.
