jungliston1 Valued Member United States 305 Posts	Posted 12/15/2013 11:01 am Hello all, it has been awhile since I have posted my spending the Pres. and Sacs. But I will say around $1000 in this last year alone. Spent on varies snacks,beer,swapmeet hunts,conserts, and to the kids for chores done. Minus the 3 poss Satin/Rainbow toned 2005 P Sacs. And the wildest coin so far a 1979 D SBA that has no copper ring showing on the rim, that I recently found. I took it to Ontario, Ca coin show this weekend and it even stumped the error expert there. He suggested I send it in to get it authenticated. So hopefully it does come back authentic. $66,192 to go. Report this Post to the Staff
NumisRob Bedrock of the Community United Kingdom 18142 Posts	Posted 12/15/2013 4:19 pm Back from Florida - my experience is as follows: December 11: 4 Sacagawea $1 coins in Miami metro machines to buy train tickets December 12: 1 Pres $1 coin as tip to guide in Hemingway's House in Key West. At first he thought I'd given him a foreign coin! December 14: 2 Kennedy halves in Walgreens, Miami Downtown, in part payment for a Hersheys candy bar. The guy at the cash register looked at the coins as if they were from Outer Space. I said "these are half-dollars". He scrutinised them again and accepted them! $66,186 to go. Incidentally on December 11 I may have seen another CCF member! I was on the afternoon Greyhound bus from Miami to Key West and the driver made a half-hour stop at a Burger King at Islamorada. The person ahead of me in the queue tendered two $1 coins to pay for a drink - the cashier asked her supervisor if it was OK to take them - she asked "Are these dollars or a new type of quarter?" The boss said they were OK and the girl put them in the till. When it was my turn to pay I asked for the two $1 coins in change!
