Two Silver Day...with some help from my son!

[West Jersey Detecting]

My son came home from school today and said "Dad, does this quarter look funny?" He handed me a 1963 quarter. I asked where he got it and he said the lunch lady gave it to him. Then I looked at the other coin he was holding and it was a 1945! I told him next time tell the lunch lady you need $10 in quarters!!

This is the second week in a row that there was silver in pocket change in my house! Last week I got a 1963 Rosie. It had been more than 5 years since getting silver in change, and then three coins in two weeks.

I am actually having a better year in pocket change than I am metal detecting!

2008 Totals:
Metal Detecting=2 silver Rosies
Pocket Change=1 silver Rosie and 2 silver Quarters!!

That boy of yours is very observant. I hope you are using and teaching him in the field too. Great finds !!

I hope he brings back more, that 63 looks AU that could mean rolls. You should have him ask the lunch landy if he could purchase 2 rolls of quarters.

Keep @ it and HH!!

Thank Coin Star, and other coin sorting machines. There should be other silver and other older coins out there now because of those machines. Case in point, some of the ladies who work at the local grocery store keep showing me their finds, since they know I collect coins. Example; rolls of buffalo nickels, jefferson all under 1955, silver dimes and Indian cents etc.

It's amazing that you can still pick off silver coins in change!

Yeah, you are doing twice as good as I am on Silver Quarters for the year!

Possibly, but I have dug Silver Washington Quarters in better shape than that!
