I found a girl on craigslist selling several silver coins one time. Turns out she is a cashier at a gas station. Over the past year and a half I have educated her on what coins and currency to look for. She said others were offering her 50% of the value of silver. I pay her just under melt or close to fair market value of non-silver or bills. Have gotten several 40 and 90% halves, silver quarters/dimes, buffs, Liberty nickels and wheats. Just got a 1934c federal reserve 5$ note. The time spent educating her has paid off for both of us. I get a text from her every few months and pick up her finds. |

Found two 39s and a 38 nickel yesterday at work. My mom had some pay for gas with 5 67 half dollars 3 Ike's and a couple non silver Kennedy's. She also pulled another 64 Roosie as well. She finds silver almost weekly it seems.

Hit the motherload last week. Got 118 wheats including 6 steelies. I guess someone made a large dump at the bank and they wound up in my drawer.  |

Cracked open a roll of nickels at work today and found a 43p nickel, 56p, 58d, and 60d. Glad I opened that roll before counting down my till. Been finding common wheats and pre 64 nickels regularly as well as a few s mint every week.

My fiance works at a beer and tobacco store. Guy pulled some change out to pay for his beer and asked if he could use this.. All she could see was foreign coins on top and said nope sorry.
Guy pulled out cash and paid. Then said here I dont need this and dropped the coins on the counter. To my delight when she brought it home. 1 slick liberty quarter and 2 old peso's.

Found a 1916p Wheat cent yesterday at work. This is my oldest find since restarting my collection and also a whole filler in my album. Also found a 70s cent and three 59 BU/AU cents. Today I found a 57d wheat and a 70s nickel. |

I teached a few people I love to do it and they bring me presents. Don't even want me to give them face for it. They just exchange it out and give it to surprise me since they know it makes me happy, my mom found me three silver quarters this week.

I spotted the rear end of a Buffalo nickel in a cashier's drawer and I exchanged a modern Jefferson for it. It turns out it was a 1920 (the "20" was barely visible while the "19" had since worn away). Still, this was my first Buffalo find in over a year. |
