<p>[QUOTE="Kevin Mader, post: 26072800, member: 106826"]Hi Shirley - here’s something to keep in mind: older coins worked harder than newer coins. This is in part because coins had buying power. Vending machines of all sorts were more plentiful than they are today and novelty/candy machines operated on lower denominations. Many had turnstile crank handles and prime for burnishing material. That may have happened here but who knows. For example, CRH enthusiasts will often find pre-70s nickels with radial grooves and scratches at the center of the nickel. As others have noted here, ask questions to learn. Many here are happy to offer up knowledge and information.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
