<p>[QUOTE="Bedford, post: 130387, member: 4917"]So Im in front of my computer going thru some coins . I was about to take a look at this 1962 proof quarter that I picked up at a flea market over the weekend. I took out 1 of the side staples from the flip, put on a nice new pair of cotton gloves and started to drop it out onto my palm. Well I must of had the tiniest spread inbetween my fingers 'cause that sucker just slide right thru like butter. As I fumbled to catch it before it came crashing to my hardwood floor I kicked my coin shoebox just so slightly. In the same instant missed the quarter completly- Mind you this was all in a split second but it was like slow motion for me.<img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie104" alt=":yawn:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> </p><p><br /></p><p>Check out the pictures to see where it actually landed !
