When I was a kid, I was a cook at a local restaurant. I was cooking one day when I heard one of the waitresses dump a roll of quarters in the...
@sambyrd44 Nice find Sam!! Check your 1917 out carefully for similarities to this. Pictures are a little small for me to discount your coin....
Hmmm...reminds me of an old army drab plating I'd see on some fasteners. Puke brownish green hits the spot!
Buyer beware, or so the saying goes. Interesting to have multiple things going on, probably. Value...not so much. Spend the Zincolns before...

I fear you are correct. She hasn't caught the coin collecting bug and enjoys teasing me about "all my money". She wants the "millions" but not...
