<p>[QUOTE="Kanderus, post: 1898263, member: 28447"]Well guys and gals I over the last month or so I have hit some pretty decent luck (for me, a small volume guy.) In fact, it seems like I have hit MORE SILVER when I am "not trying" than when I am trying and actively seeking silver coins.</p><p><br /></p><p>1st, I went to Raleys (a grocery store down the street from me, a lot of the checks know me and know I am a collector.) and one of the checkers says to me "Hey, I found something for you!" usually this means it is a dirty penny, or a coin from Panama or something. This time the guy pulls out a 1941 Washington! MAN am I STOKED! I tried to give him $2 for it, but he said he couldn't accept it. I ended up getting it for face! Really awesome because just a couple weeks before this I got a 1936 Washington from the gas station across the street from my work IN CHANGE. I couldn't believe my luck!</p><p><br /></p><p><a href="http://s1175.photobucket.com/user/Chicocheese/media/Coins/20140212_182011_zpsxyyqvak3.jpg.html" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://s1175.photobucket.com/user/Chicocheese/media/Coins/20140212_182011_zpsxyyqvak3.jpg.html" rel="nofollow"><img src="http://i1175.photobucket.com/albums/r636/Chicocheese/Coins/20140212_182011_zpsxyyqvak3.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></a></p><p><br /></p><p>Now, flash forward a few weeks later (this happened Saturday morning the 5th of April) and my wife is getting ready to leave for work and she empties out her purse for change, looking for quarters for laundry. She says "Hey what is this?" and she hands it to me and I immediately see the moose. "Oh this is a Canadian quarter, hun" I say to her and I sort of brushed it off because 99.9% of the time I find a Canadian coin it is from the late 90's to mid 2000's. Not to mention that ALL Canadian coins (besides cents) have white edges so they trick me more than I care to admit.) Then I walked into the light with it, and it looked more white-ish than chrome. So I looked at the date - 1963! Wooo! 80% silver! 3 silver coins inside of 2 months or so! </p><p><a href="http://s1175.photobucket.com/user/Chicocheese/media/Coins/20140405_081759-1_zpsareirbje.jpg.html" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://s1175.photobucket.com/user/Chicocheese/media/Coins/20140405_081759-1_zpsareirbje.jpg.html" rel="nofollow"><img src="http://i1175.photobucket.com/albums/r636/Chicocheese/Coins/20140405_081759-1_zpsareirbje.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></a></p><p><br /></p><p><a href="http://s1175.photobucket.com/user/Chicocheese/media/Coins/20140405_081813_zpsovaqh7m3.jpg.html" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://s1175.photobucket.com/user/Chicocheese/media/Coins/20140405_081813_zpsovaqh7m3.jpg.html" rel="nofollow"><img src="http://i1175.photobucket.com/albums/r636/Chicocheese/Coins/20140405_081813_zpsovaqh7m3.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></a>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
