[QUOTE="RobertAPearce, post: 1362760, member: 35828"]I think that's an awesome find there, hrhomer. I understand getting coins/bills this way, as I was a bartender for 8 years back in the 1970's, and many of the coins/bills in my collection came from folks spending them for their drinking pleasure. I see nothing wrong in taking the coin for what the customer meant it for, then trading the $ value in the drawer with your own money. I was so busy as a bartender, I didn't have time to talk to people who gave me silver dollars, silver certificates, old coins, or whatnot. When I recognized I "might" have something collectible, I'd set it aside in a spot in my drawer, and look at it more closely later, to decide if I wanted to then buy it out of the drawer. Most memorable is 5 Silver Certificates a girl gave me one evening for a few drinks. 35+ years later, I still have them. Robert[/QUOTE]
