<p>[QUOTE="coinup, post: 1383496, member: 23176"]On my way back from a gun/coin show yesterday, I stopped for a quick bite at one of my fav fast food places...while waiting for my order at the counter, I glanced down at the March of Dimes donation box - it's one of those about the size of a shoe box and made of pretty thick plexi (I think), and appeared to be completely sealed and bolted to the counter (I'll explain later how I know this). As I started to examine the coins, I spied a wheatie just off the side partially covered by a quarter...it looked to be about F/XF, no luster...but clearly a wheatie.</p><p>I must have used every angle I could to get a better look, and I know the box was bolted down because I tried to shuffle it around to get a better look - lol...when the cashier brought my food, I asked if there were any way I could grab the penny for an exchage of a 25 cent donation (knowing my chances were slim and none), she said they had no control with that and it was managed by the MoD people...so, all I could do was eat my fish sandwich and grimace at the possibilities.... :binky:[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
