Message:: [QUOTE="lincolncent, post: 1047195, member: 22506"]I was at work today and an older man (henceforth known as D) came in with a cane. D got some groceries and proceded to start to pay with 6 1964 Kennedy halves. He said he didnt have any other money and he had to buy dinner. Of course I didn't let him spend them at face and promptly offered 4X face (all I had on me in cash). He graciously accepted and said he had more at home and as he was leaving he said that 12 bucks was gonna buy his supper. Kind of sad to think that our elder people are having to spend their valuable currency just to eat. What made it worse though is that someone who knew the man (and one of my good friends, he owns a shop that sells some coins in town) said those coins were technically D's daughters and that D had tried to sell them to him. Unfortuately my friend doesn't know D's daugher so I doubt I will ever be able to put them back in her possesion. Lucky D didn't pawn them off to someone other than a collector though. At least I'll appreciate them more than D did..... I also found a 1953-D quarter in the same girl's till that D went through so I can only assume he spent that without saying anything.  I would have normally posted this in Roll Searchers thread but I wanted to know how many of you had come across situations like this.  Thanks,Tyler Edit: I guess I should say that I paid $12 dollars for >$60 worth of silver today, since I did include "Great Deal" in the title.[/QUOTE]
