<p>[QUOTE="davidscoins, post: 3385098, member: 11489"]The other day I stopped at a mom and pop truck stop in Pa. (Im a trucker). Needed a bag of ice and didn’t need a snickers ice cream bar, but bought one anyway. Total was $3.98 so I gave the young clerk a $10 bill. She gave me back correct change but the pennies looked different and weird. Looked again at them and they were wheats. Asker her if she had any more that looked like these and she said “sure do, all of these”.47 total so I said here’s a dollar, I will give you .50 cents for them. She gave 2 quarters back, I put them in the wheats and into my pocket and back to my truck to check out the wheats. Emptied my pocket, and when I heard that specific “tink tink” sound of silver I looked closer at the quarters. There it was, a 1964 quarter. So, rushed back in and asked her if she had anymore “old quarters”. She dumped the till of quarters on the counter and much to my surprise, there were 24 beautiful silver rounds staring up at me. Bought them for face value. Checked the dimes and nickels, but no luck! And the wheats were ALL 1943 steels. One would not pickup with a magnet, but I can’t read the date so I not sure whether it could be a 1943 copper. It’s kind of strange it would be in with all ‘43’ steelies. She said that all were in rolls so if I had just been earlier maybe my haul would be bigger! If your from the Poconos in Pa. check your change![ATTACH=full]899123[/ATTACH][ATTACH=full]899125[/ATTACH][ATTACH=full]899126[/ATTACH][ATTACH=full]899127[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
