For what it's worth, I just took the extra money, doubled it, and sent it to the Coin Talk Shriners fund drive. I see that the goal of $2000 has...
LOL! This is funny. But as long as we're breaking each other's stones here, how about some remedial spelling/grammar lessons, eh?
Hudson, Very good points, and I don't feel very good about the fact that I was less than truthful to the attendant. But it still burns me that...
That really is the way I was looking at it. I would have kicked myself for walking out of there allowing the bank to pocket someone else's money...
Cheetah, I appreciate your way of thinking. It may be hard to believe after reading my post, but I really am in your camp, too. If something isn't...
I was thinking about charity, as well. The money wasn't the bank's, but it isn't mine, either, so why not let it do some good. I think I might...
The thing is, I think I would feel more guilty and/or angry that I let the bank keep it. I say this because I really doubt they would try to find...
Good point, but the fact that a lot of people without accounts use the counter, plus how unlikely I think it is that the bank would even try to...
I was dumping my nickels in TD Bank's free coin counter, and I filled the nickel bag. The attendant opened the machine to change the bag, and I...
I'm keeping them!
There are 0.36169 ounces of silver in one 90% silver half, so 3 halves make just over one ounce of silver.
I ordered my halves at the counter. In fact, now it is a standing order each week that I pick up on Friday. I was fortunate in that several local...
Great week, congrats! I can't wait for a week like this!
TPG = Third-Party Grading (for example: PCGS, NGC, ANACS, etc.)
I've found one (1967) in excellent condition, but it's not worth the cost of grading. I don't have nearly as many as Bob, Erin and some others,...
Bob, Thanks for the stats - I love that kind of stuff. It also gives me some inspiration. I'm at 10 boxes and I'm behind your pace - 8 shut-out...
90% silver halves were made before 1965 - 40% silver halves are those from 1965 to 1970.
I struck out with silver on my half box today (4th strike out in a row). But when I took them to the free coin counter, there was a 67 half in the...
Can't wait for a score like that! Good job!
Shawn, I'm a nickel "novice" (LOL!), but I look for mainly Buffalos (pre-1938) and War nickels (35% silver), but I also keep everything pre-1960....
