<p>[QUOTE="Eskychess, post: 147272, member: 4692"]ajm229 That is awesome sweet that you found a 14 D!!!

Thank god there was an 1891 in AU condition in there that wasn't cleaned to salvage the deal. The coin guy I was telling you about puts old coins into circulation just to get a rise out of some people... Of course, nothing worth too much.... but one story goes.... he spent a 1925 Buffalo Nickel at a McDonalds.... The cashier looked at it, took it... as he was eating his food he watched, and the next guy in line seemed to have got the Nickel ... He stared at it, gawked at it, had a little smile on his face and then plugged it into the donation aquirium filled with coins and WATER!!! lol ... I bet someone could write a column off of stuff like that. I think I'll start putting those Indian Heads into circulation and keep notes while I do it.</p><p><br /></p><p>Nice Find ajm!!</p><p><br /></p><p>Esky[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
