<p>[QUOTE="coinman1234, post: 2028634, member: 51208"]First off I would like to say that I found this find on September 21, 2014 and never posted it on here, I posted it on a treasure hunting forum but not here. </p><p><br /></p><p>I went metal detecting, and stepped on a yellow jacket's nest, and end up getting a sting to the leg. I then go to the Supermarket, and a woman was putting coins in the self checkout station. I noticed a silver edge in the quarter section. I told her I collect coins, and I'm wondering if I can buy that quarter with the silver edge, sure enough she said yes, and it was a 1964 silver quarter. Than she says that the tray at the service desk is full of silver dollars, and that I could buy them. I figured that she might have an Ike dollar or two, but I figured it was worth checking. She then said some of them are worn, but they are from around the 1930's, at that point I'm thinking maybe there might be something there, maybe a piece dollar which would be incredible. Finally she pull out the tray and I feel like I might have a heart-attack, the tray was overflowing with walking liberty half dollars. She asked how many I would like, I quickly said, "I'll buy them all." She said OK, but she warned me that some of them are pretty worn. She took them all out, and put them in piles of two, the grand total, 16 dollars. I had no cash on me, and she said no credit cards, so I got $20 from the ATM, which was only 20 feet away from the tray. Than she hands the 90% 32 walking liberty half dollar to me, plus the four dollars in change, and I run to the car with them, clumsily dropping all of them on the pavement, but I picked all of them up, and made it home. </p><p><br /></p><p>The dates are:</p><p><br /></p><p>1917p X2</p><p>1934p</p><p>1934s</p><p>1935p X2</p><p>1936P</p><p>1936d</p><p>1937p X2</p><p>1938p</p><p>1939p X2</p><p>1940p X2</p><p>1941p X2</p><p>1941s</p><p>1942p X2</p><p>1942s</p><p>1943p</p><p>1943s</p><p>1944p X2</p><p>1944d</p><p>1945p</p><p>1945s</p><p>1946p X2</p><p>1947p X2</p><p><br /></p><p>and finally my 1964p quarter.[ATTACH=full]368827[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]368828[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]368829[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>The weird thing is that the teller knew the value of the coins, but just did not care about them.</p><p><br /></p><p>Coinman,[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
