The son had a box of stuff he said came from his junk drawer. The box was full of Hot Wheels and McDonald's Happy Meal toys. Everything in the box was five for a buck. Looking through the box was a bunch of Pee Wee Herman toys, which I snatched up. I also bought a ziplock baggie full of play money--bills and plastic coins. In the baggie was a barber dime. Yippie!!! In the bottom of the box was my prize. I found a slabbed PCGS MS69 1984-P commemorative Olympic silver dollar and a slabbed NGC MS69 2006 Silver Eagle. To make it look good, I bought about three dollars worth of happy meal toys and the coins. I laid stuff out on the table. He counted the stuff up and gave me a price. I asked him if he was sure, pointing to the coins, giving him time to see his mistake, but he said he was sure.
