<p>[QUOTE="wxcoin, post: 7751707, member: 74624"]I just wanted to add that in 1970, 71 or 72, my brother worked after school at a dry cleaners my dad also worked at. He used to go through the cash register change and exchange things like mercury dimes (that is what he was into then). One day he came back with a newly minted Washington quarter that looked unusual (wrong planchet or something else that made it look smaller, or something like that). He didn't seem interested in keeping it so I asked him if I could have it. He wouldn't let me have it. The next day or so there was a Coin World article about the exact same coin error; I wish I could remember the date and article. Long story short, when I asked him about it after school he said that he lent the quarter to a classmate so he could have enough money to buy a hamburger at the lunch cafeteria at our high school. Needless to say, I felt revenge was in order.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
