I have to wonder It does make you wonder, right? My last silver thrill was 3+ years ago (posted it here. 1964 quarter too). 54 years somewhere, and all of a sudden, boom, it's in your change. My favorite story along these lines was around 1976 working as a soda jerk, a guy comes in and pays with a 1934 $5 silver certificate in pristine condition, not even a wallet fold. Weird stuff but fun when you're on the receiving end! |

Nice find... Maybe some hungry teenager raided his dad's coin collection to by a taco!

I guess the younger generation probably doesn't even realize that coins used to be silver... Sadly, the younger generation doesn't even use coins! (I have two teens). A big silver found sure is a thrill, I can remember getting silver Kennedy halves in change from time to time back in the eighties. I did find a '64 quarter in my change jar a few months back, not sure how that ever ended up there as I have educated my wife and kids on coinage over the years. When I listen to LED ZEPPELIN...so do my neighbors...

I don't know if you guys are saying $9 is surprisingly expensive or cheap for a burrito, but it is a big burrito and in the downtown area near my office it's impossible to find any food for lunch that's cheaper, even from the food trucks.

OT, but just brown bag it, or a small cooler with ice. It's a lost art, but you'll save thousands. When I listen to LED ZEPPELIN...so do my neighbors...
