Njbphilly New Member United States 11 Posts	Posted 03/14/2017 12:28 pm Living in the middle of a major us city I'm friendly with some of the homeless people in my neighborhood, from time to time they let me go through there change and give them a couple bucks if I find something cool. Check out these recent pieces... Who could forget the 2003 steel penny, or is that a Rosie? The cashiers in Philly work so fast they would never know the difference... And this "¢25 piece" which I'm pretty isn't a flattened quarter, it appears to perfectly round with squared edges... Report this Post to the Staff

CelticKnot Bedrock of the Community United States 12808 Posts	Posted 03/14/2017 1:15 pm That's exactly what it is (j-box knock-out). If that's worth $0.25, I'm headed to the home center for a cartful of j-boxes and a Sharpie! to CCF, Njbphilly! Edited by CelticKnot 03/14/2017 1:16 pm Report this Post to the Staff
Crazyb0 Rest in Peace 10197 Posts	Posted 03/14/2017 1:50 pm Yea, homeless people are given all kinds of junk, some people thinks its funny, others generous. A half eaten hamberger is not "generous", neither is a slug. Maybe in placves like Philly, store clerks may take it in exchange for that half-pint, but not here! Got in trouble as a kid, went through two under construction 2 story houses w/ basements, cleaned 'em both outta slugs.. that was back when they were nickel size, all had to do was file the hangtag. Spent all summer mowing lawns to pay for that prank! Edited by Crazyb0 03/14/2017 1:52 pm Report this Post to the Staff
