[QUOTE="Waxerguy, post: 1625064, member: 44085"]Even though I have not been active in the hobby for years, I still make a point to check all of my return change. Take nothing for granted. We have accumulated a large cookie tin of mixed coins here in a service based business. Having some time recently, I decided to start sorting through this to see if there were any finds. On top of the pile were 2 rolls of dimes and a roll of nickels. I set them off to the side for the time being. Through my search and sorting, it was mostly statehood quarters with a smaller percentage of dimes, nickels and pennies. Nothing to write home about, right? I did find this through $400+ loose change: [IMG]http://i1359.photobucket.com/albums/q799/Coinsearch/007_zps2f21b304.jpg[/IMG] It may be difficult to get excited about finding 1 silver quarter in all of that sorting. Remember, the 3 rolls that I set off to the side. Nickels had nothing special. One roll of dimes the same. 2nd roll of dimes, these roll out: [IMG]http://i1359.photobucket.com/albums/q799/Coinsearch/007_zpsef7f27d7.jpg[/IMG] A full roll of Merc's ranging from '16-'45. Who would have thought you come across something like this?[/QUOTE]
