<p>[QUOTE="Steve E, post: 40196, member: 2147"]Here's why we check our pocket change. Today at work a gentlemen came into my office asking if I knew about coins, heard it through the grapevine I guess. He was curious about the Wisconsin "mistake" quarters, as he put it. I immediately pulled out my CoinWorld and showed him the photos depicting the two variations. "Yep, that's it", he said, "my kid's got 2 of 'em". After I picked myself up off the floor I asked to see them. He said they were with his 13 year old son at school. Again, after I picked myself up off the floor, I told him to get them from him, right away, before they go into the pop machine. Turns out the boy needed change for a $1 for a pop and the teacher gave him 4 quarters, 2 went into the machine and the remaining 2 were the Wisconsin's. I hope the pop vendor checks his change, the other 2 might have been also since all 4 were state quarters.</p><p><br /></p><p>I told him I would have to see the coins to verify if they were the variations and he is going to bring them to me at 3:00 to inspect. I can't wait, I hope they are the real McCoy. What a treat that would be for that youngster. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie8" alt=":D" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> I'll get back later to tell you what I found out.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
