I found these 7 silver Washington in my till today while at work. 42-d, 53, 59-d, 63-d, and 3 64-d. That makes 9 qaurters, 3 dimes and 1 1913 buffalo nickel this week. Nothing like buying silver at face value. I tried to do a picture with my phone but can't get it to work.
Thinking I should move to grand rapids (hour and a half away). Its unusual that all that would turn up in such a small period of time. Where do you work?
A friend worked at Walgreens a few years back. I kid you not, someone brought in rolls of nickels and there was a 5 dollar gold piece in there. The idiots thought it was a foreign coin they were getting rid of.
Not at all kidding, I have seen the piece. This thread reminds me of it. He got a lot of buffalos and silver there working about 10 years, but the gold piece was his biggest scoop.
Since I am retired, do you think Walgren's would let me work there for free ? Of course all I would ask is that I be able to sort the change.
"Hey I'm looking for a job. You don't have to pay me though, I just want to be able to go through the register before the nightly deposit..."
Im actually not in Grand Rapids right now, that's just where I originally am from. I work at a gas station up in the U.P., in Houghton, while I am going to college. So far in 8 months of working there, I have found about 20-25 Roosevelt dimes, 1 1908 Barber dime, 1 1964 kennedy half, 2 wartime nickels, 2 buffalo nickels, about 10-15 washington quarters, a 1953 $5 dollar silver certificate, probably 200+ common date wheat pennies, and believe it or not, 214 steel pennies. The steel pennies were spread out over probably 15 rolls. Once I saw 1 roll full of them, I bought about 20 dollars of rolls of pennies from the store.
