I did point the coin out to her, but she did the right thing and said that if it was in there, it was mine for the dollar.
That's very impressive of this dealer! Most dealers I know would react differently.

That is what I love about the inglish language.! You can say one thing, and a sozen things come to mind. I was thinking a "box" of dollars, ($1000.00) as in Halves, ($500.00) etc, dimes, etc. Now it is much clearer, and it makes sense. I haven't seen that type of "display', in My coin shop, so it threw me for a loss. He only has IHC in one dish, @$2.00/ea. Foreign all go into another, and wheats go as do the IHC I guess one could call the foreign coins dish the 16 cent dish.

OK yes, I see the possible confusion! Many dealers I've seen have a box or bucket of coins for $1 each, and IHC are frequently in there (at least where I come from.)

By the way, in my case I should call it a 93 cent box, since I live in Canada!

A very nice find indeed!

For the record, many of my Indian cents came from the "dollar box" at a local coin dealer.

it is a veery nice find, no matter which box it was in! I just wish my local coin shop had a "dollar box. He has IHC dish, at 2 bucks a throw, wheats are cheaper, and foreign go for 16 cents each. that is wheere I get a lot of my Canadians. I make a few cents on each quarter. maybe I should p[ost my "finds,", there!
