<p>[QUOTE="JBlade00, post: 1460694, member: 37468"]When I was young and in elementary school, my dad had his coins tucked away in his closet. I was a mischievous kid and decided it was a good idea to go into his quarter album (32-64) and take a few quarters to spend. I ended up spending them at the vending machine at school on candy or some other sort of snack. It looks like silver was only 3-4 dollars at the time and I wish now that I was into coins when I was young... I can't believe I still remember the day that I did this, and now I can only hope that they were only commons and not the 32-D or 32-S! The collection is now mine and it's kind of funny how it's come back full circle. The album is pretty much just commons in circulated condition so I don't think anything I took out would have been worth more than melt. Still though, it's something I regret to this day![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
