Yesterday I bought some milk at the convenience store, and this is what I got in change.   Last time I got a Merc in change, I was about 10 years old! (That's about 47 years ago!) |

That's outrageous , maybe you should have asked if they had any more like that or any other weird looking coins ? Yes , silver is still out there .

I really was stunned when I first noticed it. After I got over the shock, I naturally checked to see if it was a 16-D.

Judging from the number of responses to this thread, it appears that you're really milking this modest find .... congrats! Got milk?  |

Heck, I hardly ever see any pre-1960 nickels anymore.

I get a silver dime or 40% War Nickel every once in a while. I got a dime in change in a restaurant and thanked the waitress. She had no idea that dimes were ever made from silver. "Two minutes ago I would have sold my chances for a tired dime." Fred Astaire

I think I'd be trying to see how many bottles of milk I could fit in my refrigerator. All bottles purchase one at a time for maximum change! Congratulations.

In all my years now, I've never found change older than 1966. I continue to be stunned and amazed at shares like this and slightly cynical in some cases (note: this is not necessarily a cynical occasion) however, not all tales are of the fairy-like nature and in some cases I am happy for the recipient ((note: this is not necessarily a happy occasion). However, I will typical just move along and not bother to comment when the tale seems too tall because what's the point? I am empowering poor behavior and that's feeding the fire.
