tkbslc Pillar of the Community United States 1158 Posts	Posted 09/15/2014 1:49 pm Quote: My guess was that the cashier didn't accept the money as legal tender and the customer threw them away thinking they were worthless. I wondered if they were stolen and dumped. I hope your explanation is correct, instead. Although either way someone got screwed out of $100+ worth of coins.

Dasaki Pillar of the Community United States 500 Posts	Posted 09/15/2014 2:14 pm I was looking at picture grades, Matthew, and I would honestly put it closer to an XF than an F, my camera is charging and I will have pictures of the actual coin posted tonight after work so that way if all the experts here can post their thoughts. PS: my phone sucks at posting. Report this Post to the Staff
