In my change

[FLauthor]

I stopped to buy a ice cream cone and poured my change out when I spotted a shiny quarter that differed from the others. I turned it over and low and behold it was a 1935 Silver Quarter that I must have received in change from a past purchase. Times are tough right now and people are probably raiding grandpa's coin collection and spending silver coinage at face value. This goes into my scrap silver coin box as it is well worn but in hyperinflation could be worth a lot. Check your change.

I love it when that happens. I got several silver dimes and a couple IH cents over the course of a week or so at a local convenient store not too long ago. I think some kid was raiding their parents coin collection. Never did get any quarters though.

They started minting Washington quarter in 1932 right? I dont think I've even seen one. I think that '35 there is the oldest one I've seen. Has anyone found an earlier one? Puts a new perspective on the Washingtons- cool!

Thought I saw a '32 posted not too long ago...I'll get searching...

Yes, it still is possible! I'm always checking my change. I wonder if grandma or grandpa aren't raiding their own collection with money being so tight these days.

I would love to get that in my change!!
My first silver quarter was a '32, the 32-S is a big (relatively) money coin. HH All !!

I sometimes ask the cashier if they have anything strange in their drawer but they always look at me funny. I say, you know like half dollars or foreign coins? Always the same blank stare... I'll keep asking though!

Keep askin Bev, they know exactly what you mean and act that way because they're already keepin em.

Yeah mine is pretty black and crusty, it was actually my first silver coin, not just quarter.
