<p>[QUOTE="AdamL, post: 212231, member: 6029"]Stopped at the gas station where I'm a regular to grab a drink to enjoy along with opening day of the baseball season. The cashier, a guy around my age (mid 20's) who I usually chit-chat with, and doesn't even know I'm into coins, holds up a 1922 Peace dollar! He said a lady pumped 4 dollars in gas, and paid with 3 one-dollar bills and a peace dollar!! She said she'd had it forever, and was desperate to get enough gas to make it to work. I was in a hurry to get home for Cardinals vs. Mets, so I didn't even take time to look at the mint mark. But I told him it was probably worth 15 bucks, since it was worn and dirty, and explained that it was called a Peace Dollar. He was still happy with that though, since he paid face! He mentioned he sometimes got interesting money and was thinking about talking to collectors on-line. Of course, I told him cointalk.org was the best place to go. So hopefully we'll have a new collector and a new member.</p><p>Some people are just crazy to spend stuff like that!!![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
