ikaros Posted May 30, 2014 Report Share Posted May 30, 2014 Pictures when I get home tonight, but I pulled a 1964D 90% Washington quarter out of the same machine that gave me the two proof quarters! You know the different *clink* silver makes over clad -- as soon as that hit the tray, I knew I had something different in my change.

ikaros Posted June 8, 2014 Report Share Posted June 8, 2014 The food machine in the break area, which I have always referred to as the 'Wheel of Misfortune', is officially renamed 'Lucky Pierre'. Not only has it given me two proofs and a silver quarter in the last month and a half, but today my first 2014 -- the Tennessee Great Smoky Mountains AtB quarter.

ikaros Posted June 16, 2014 Report Share Posted June 16, 2014 Lucky Pierre coughed up another AtB -- the Perry Monument quarter for Ohio, which of course I am keeping every one I find. It still gives me that warm fuzzy of looking for it from the window of my grandparents' place on the lake; it was just visible from there (depending on the weather).

ikaros Posted June 27, 2014 Report Share Posted June 27, 2014 Dream, are you using some kind of mind control powers on local collectors to break into their sets and spend them so you can find them? You find the wildest things... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You find the wildest things... I wish my guess is someone comes into 1 of my coinstar stores use the proof and whatnots to pay for groceries and such, then I get the call to pick them up face value. I even went to my coin shop, and asked what would be the price to turn the coins rather than spend them. The reply was just under $40.

ikaros Posted June 27, 2014 Report Share Posted June 27, 2014 I just cannot fathom someone over the age of eight who could look at a proof set and say "Hey, great, loose change!" The simple fact that coins aren't normally sealed in plasic cases oughta be enough to say there's something else going on there beyond being a simple coin holder, never mind that circulation coins simply are never that pristine with genuine mirror surfaces! I mean, how bad did they really need that Big Gulp? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
