<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Kanderus, post: 1458437, member: 28447&quot;]I have a proof Washington Bicentennial quarter that I found in circulation maybe 3 or 4 weeks ago, if not a bit longer )I posted on the Roll Searchers thread when I found it). I am keeping it in my wallet for the most part, but occasionally I keep in my coin pocket. I starting keeping it around for a few main reasons.</p><p><br /></p><p>1) This is only the second proof I have found in circulation, but it is my favorite of the two.</p><p><br /></p><p>2) I am a sucker for bicentennial coins. Particularly the quarters and halves. I know they were *****d out, being minted in the tens of millions but I just love the proof and 40% silver coins. I guess everyone has their guilty pleasures and one of mine is the bicentennial proofs and 40%ers.</p><p><br /></p><p>3) Since that time, I have found just a War Nickel in circulation. Doesn&#039;t sound great BUT I have also managed to be able to store a bit more money away for my coin purchases. Since I found the proof, I have been able to buy 10x more coins than I have in past. Could be circumstance...but maybe not!</p><p><br /></p><p>It is still in rather decent shape, actually. Still has SOME cameo to it, and doesn&#039;t show too much wear. You can definately tell it has seen circulation for a few years, as the fields are rather spotty.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp;[ATTACH]181747.vB[/ATTACH][ATTACH]181748.vB[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>The grey and pink bits of color you see to the right of Washington&#039;s bust are my work shirt and my face. Same for the reverse of the coin, but my face is not visible. Goes to show it still has some cameo left! As goofy as it sounds, definitely one of my favorite coins.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
