What ever happened to banks clamoring for change?
The coin weighs 26.7g. (If you've got a scale, weigh it; there's some variation in the planchets, and coins lose weight as they circulate,...

It happens. Around the same time, when silver was spiking, I bought a bag of quarters at a show for 25.5x face. I picked through them, saved out a...
