<p>[QUOTE=&quot;BostonCoins, post: 3458655, member: 34720&quot;]So, I feel I must confess. I&#039;ve been feeling guilty for the past few days.</p><p><br /></p><p>Stopped in at the local Dunkin&#039; Donuts for my afternoon iced coffee on the way home from work. While standing at the counter, and being told several times &quot;We&#039;ll be right with you sir&quot;, I happened to look down at their tip jar.</p><p><br /></p><p>There, staring back at me, was the reverse of a coin that I instantly recognized. I looked up at the two workers, who were still busy taking care of the drive up window, and in a moment of sheer insanity, I reached into the cup and picked up the coin. </p><p><br /></p><p>What my eyes beheld was a beautiful 1944 Mercury Dime. I quickly dug into my pocket and found that I had more than a dollars worth of change. I threw that change into their cup thinking that would be more than enough restitution for my grabbing of their coin.</p><p><br /></p><p>As the days passed, I&#039;ve begun to feel guilty about doing that. Should I have just left it there? Maybe a previous customer WANTED them to have that coin? Would the workers have even noticed the coin when splitting up their tips later in the day?</p><p><br /></p><p>The coin itself is as common as the day is long. The grade, perhaps a VG. So I realize it&#039;s not a bank buster coin. It&#039;s more of the thrill of finding it in the wild in the most unexpected location.</p><p><br /></p><p>Did I do the right thing? Would you have been able to resist the urge to change out that coin? Should I go back and throw it in their tip jar and return it to the wild?</p><p><br /></p><p>Thanks. I feel better now that I&#039;ve confessed my sin. I&#039;ll go say a couple of hail mary&#039;s, maybe go lick a rabbits foot and throw some salt over my shoulder for good luck.</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
