I was at the gas station a year or so ago, and I saw a silver dime sitting in a pile with some other change. The customer had run out to his car to dig for more change so he could buy a mountain dew or something. So I told the guy at the register I'd give him a quarter for it. He asked why, and I said it's silver, I collect them. He said I'll just trade it to you for a dime. So I got it at face, but I think he initially thought I was trying to pull a fast one, some sleight of hand or something.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
