    Spell check strikes again...:rolleyes::rolleyes:

    Received in CHANGE.
    The 1993 P is struck deeper than usual, wider rim and the 1976 D lettering is closer to the rim.
    Both are the same Diameter within .003.
    I usually don't bother looking at my change, these just looked different as in not the same strike.
    They'll still get thrown in the change jar just the same.

    Definitely, I've been spending from 3-10pm at the casino waiting for my name to get drawn for the $500 each half hour promotion and Harley Davidson giveaway.
    I've gotten plenty of seat time and gathered up a lot more tickets...
    There's 3 days I won't get back.
    I had a lot of tickets in the drawing drum, but in the casinos infinite wisdom they were giving away 300 extra bonus tickets each day for the last 3 days to a bunch of people...I didn't qualify for the free extra tickets :rolleyes:
    Sorta screws me out of all my hard work over the last few months.

    Thanks, Play Responsibly :greedy:
    You know I've been trying to figure out how to do just that :p
    I have accumulated 9,956 rewards points :wideyed:
    Was shooting for 10,000, but honestly I was getting bored with it...
    I'm not the best a math BUT it takes $7.50 coins in to get a Single Rewards point on an Electronic blackjack or Roulette machine.
    Math being what it is, that should work out to about $75,000 cycled through the machines o_O in the last 2 months September - October.
    That's NOT 75K out of pocket :wideyed:
    All things considered, I'm actually up about $600.
    Considering the seat time, that's not a really good wage :p:p better stick with the day job :D

    On the 93-P in the OP it is a slightly misaligned die strike. (No premium.)
    I don't see anything on the 1976. Both face value.

    Thanks Michael, in the change jar they go...I almost have enough for a couple ounces of silver.
    With the recent spike in silver I'm loosing ground on the conversion rate.

    On the other hand, back in the '80's, I won a Corvette (OK, it was used, but still...) with 1 (one) $1 ticket!!! And I wasn't even in attendance when it was drawn...(I should also point out that my luck was all used up on that one win :(; well, except for Lord Marcovan's contests :):singing:).

    Grand prize drawing at 10:30
    3 names
    3rd place was $1000 cash
    2nd place was $5000 cash
    1st place was the 1981 Delorian which a Janet? Anderson? Won.
    Possibly a Retired Doctor's Wife.

    in other news I almost ate too much and made $65.
    Back to your regularly scheduled programing. :p

    AI (a eye, not AL)
    Over at Capital One still has some learning to do.:p
    Capital One sends me an email asking if I left a 45% tip on my Friday dinner :greedy:

    Sure did, spreading the wealth :rolleyes:

    Yes, I routinely deal with 3 banks, but CapitalOne is the only one which diligently texts or emails me on large tips & unusual charges...kudos to them.
