    I got a 64 quarter and 2 silver Ike dimes in my change this past 2 weeks..No biggie as people have to be hitting the change jar because of this lockdown.
    Also got 6 "65" quarters which has to have come from the same person. Now other than the silver coins which I usually notice right away, I just recently saw the 65 dated quarters as I put my change on my kitchen table when I come home so I don't know if they came from the same store, but had to be?

    This is a strange one though. Yesterday morning I got a dark nasty dark 92 quarter and ended up using to buy a Snickers bar in a vending machine by the afternoon.
    This is where it gets strange. I saw this exact date and dark coin that someone is selling on ebay. I believe strongly its a fraud but what are the chances of getting the exact same 92 date and dark coin. Did the mints have a issue in 1992?

    The odds are pretty high. It's just environmental damage. You were right to spend yours.

    It's a 1992 environmentally damaged coin and asking $50 is ridiculous. Paying anything over a quarter is foolish.

    That seller has a bunch of so called error coins and keeps a 100% ebay feedback score. One coin was said to have extra metal because of a broken die, but the pick looked like they tack welded on a tiny blob of metal. Have to be kidding me:mad:
    It's so easy to manipulate ebays feedback score I get it, but I think buyers really have to believe they got a rare error coin??

    I think your assumptions are correct and that you made an excellent choice in using that quarter for a nice Snickers bar.

    It's sad that sellers like that actually get someone to buy the junk he has listed. :arghh:

    They must have minted hundreds of millions of 1965 quarters. I regularly come across them frequently, especially at change machines at the carwash. Some are in outstanding shape, while others not so great. I've held onto only a couple though, only because they are in such great shape for their age. The other quarter I come across just as frequently is the bicentennial quarter. They had to have made a billion of those.

    I wan't to message these ebay sellers so so so bad but I know that what I would say would get me permantly banned from ebay:mad:

    VistaCruiser69, come to think of it I was at the car wash about 2 weeks ago. Coins most likely were from there..
    Nice wagon by the way!

    Nice finds (and the correction on the "IKE" dime! :) ). Do you ever check out the '65's for the doubling? It's very easy to spot.[​IMG]

    Wow thanks for the pics and heads up BamBam.. No I didn't know.
    Quick checked a few 65's just now, and no luck:( I'll dig through later for more of them..
    On another note, I started back in collecting about 10 months ago after 25 years of laying back.
    About 3 weeks ago I turned my head sideways to reach for something behind me and I got a brutal dizzy spell. I instantly starting getting these spells regular if I look down, to the right, to the left and when I lay down.
    On top of that iv'e always had a essential tremor so I use a cup type magnifying glass on a table.
    Of all times to get these dizzy spells is now that I kinda got back into coins:rolleyes:
    I did a conference call appointment with my Dr and all he did is call in a med.
    His office is on shutdown till who knows.
    I just got wicked dizzy looking at the 65's LoL!
    I'm babbling here but wow this stinks.

    Yup, BamBam I couldn't get the first post to delete when I made the mistake of quoting it.
