<p>[QUOTE=&quot;CoingirlNJ, post: 1243107, member: 32586&quot;]I&#039;m brandy-new to the forum after being a bit of a lurker for a little while, I confess.&nbsp; I&#039;ve collected my whole life starting with &quot;a weird penny&quot; (read:wheat) that I found when I was really little.&nbsp; I still get a rush when I find a wheatie in my change, which escalates to palpitations if I happen to find a indian penny, mercury dime, wartime nickel or silver quarter.&nbsp; I work next door to two bankswithin walking distance so making daily exchanges for roll searching has been a great way to fill up my 2 collections and find some elusive errors (no luck yet).&nbsp; Yesterday, however, was a great day and since there isn&#039;t anyone I&#039;m acquainted with that can understand the sheer excitement I felt when I split open a roll of quarters and spotted something incredibly shiny, I shall share it here: A 1978 S PROOF QUARTER!! Naturally, as soon as I grabbed it I was PRAYING for some kind of DD or other error, but alas, I&#039;m still part of the working class.I know it&#039;s not worth much, maybe a couple of bucks at best, and unfortunately its been slightly circulated as there is some light scuffing but I&#039;m not 100% in this for the money, it&#039;s all about the thrill of the hunt for me.&nbsp; Probably why I love gambling and fishing, too, just that rush of adrenaline at the chance that I could be moments away from something awesome and memorable happening.&nbsp; I&#039;ll remember yesterday.So thank you for letting me share my story, I just had to tell someone that would understand [/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
