Message:: [QUOTE="Coinlover, post: 177627, member: 6032"]i also have a rescue story. me and my friend were playing playstation 2 when i heard the familar sound of coins, lots of coins clattering together. my friend knows i am a serious collector so he said, my mom is dumping her change out so she can turn them into coinstar after while. i came out of his bedroom and there was coins, thousands of them! she said she has been saving them for at least 14 years. i jumped into the coins and started flipping over every cent, look at all the dates on the nickels, looking at all the quarters and dimes. this is before i knew about silver halfs. anyway, i found a 1919 cent, a bunch of 40's and 50's cents, 40's and 50's nickels, 1946 dime. it was great! when we got it all sorted out, the 1919 cent was in fine condition! it looked like it came out of someones collection. it was about 50 cents worth of old coins in that jug. she bagged them up into a pillow case, then we all went to town. when we got to the coinstar, i began to wonder how many wheaties and old nickels we missed! we had to go through them in a hurry because she had some things to do. it is fun going through unsearched jugs of change!:goofer:[/QUOTE]
