<p>[QUOTE=&quot;PittsburghMom, post: 1963230, member: 34903&quot;]I was trying to make a quick run to the grocery store a few minutes ago and happened to be passing the bread isle when I heard that special clink, clink, clink of silver. If sharks can smell blood from miles away, then I&#039;m convinced that coin collectors can hear silver from far, far away! <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>By the time I got there, the boys (Around age 19 - 20) had already dumped most of their change into the machine. The only ones left by the time I got my cart over there were 40% Kennedy&#039;s (1965 - 1969) and one lonely 1953-S quarter that has an odd looking mint mark. I haven&#039;t had time to research any of them yet, but did weigh them.&nbsp; Many look to be uncirculated. To make the situation funnier, the guys offered to sell me $18.25 worth of coins for $16 since the cashier told them that she couldn&#039;t accept 50 cent pieces. I couldn&#039;t do that though and paid the full price. One of the kids said that he found the bag under his bed and had been given them as a kid. He couldn&#039;t have cared less about them.</p><p><br /></p><p>Lesson learned - Don&#039;t gift coins to kids unless you put a warning sign on the bag! I&#039;m just bummed that I didn&#039;t get there 5 minutes earlier to scoop up the other quarters.</p><p><br /></p><p>I don&#039;t normally collect Kennedy&#039;s, so feel free to volunteer any specialties that I should be on the lookout for.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
