    Nice one!!! First time I see an "O" mintmark in change. The oldest coin I got in circulation, was a Fine condition 1859 Indian in a coin roll. Also an 1869 Austria Hungrey silver coin in a dime roll

    Also, The cashier at the local Super Market had 32 Walking Liberty Halves in her tray which I bought at face.

    Nice find. I'm surprised the cashier even knew how to use it as (face value)change.

    Well, it's the same size but doesn't have George Washington on it, so it must be a Canadian. LOL, I'm sure that's what a lot of these people think.

    I expect it came in a roll and she never looked at it.

    Nope. Cracked roll open scooped out a few quarters. I took it and left and didn't look at my change til back at hotel...otherwise I would have bought the roll.

    Incredible finds. I'll bet somebody's stash of circulated goodies has been raided.
