Message:: [QUOTE="JTL, post: 7758099, member: 83510"]So this morning I was out taking care of the hum-drum task of buying lightbulbs at the hardware store, but while in line to check out, my ears perked up at the unmistakable sound of silver coins as the cashier handed the people in line ahead of me their change. By the time it was my turn to check out I was practically drooling. Not to be disappointed, my change included a 1939 Washington quarter. I leaned over to peek into the cash register drawer and saw that the compartment for quarters was filled with silver. I immediately asked the cashier if I could buy all of his quarters, but he responded that no he needed some to make change for customers. I then asked him to give me as many as he could, but by this point, he seemed suspicious, like I was trying to run some scam on him (which I don’t fault him for), so I got him to give me as many as I could and came away with this little pile of pre-65 silver quarters. Someone must have given him a whole roll of them! Of course the downside was I was so psyched I forgot all about the other items I was supposed to pick up before coming back home.[/QUOTE]
