Your son was pretty nice in giving it to his Dad Badthad !
Knowing you.....I'm sure he's a coin collector too and I think most collectors would have wanted to keep their finds for themselves ! ....
(of course....he knows he'll inherit your collection someday anyway !) ...

Nah, he doesn't care at all about coins....I've tried, but I can't get him interested. Although he does know he will inherit half of my collection (other half goes to my daughter).

I'm going to take this and the last silver quarter he got and cash them in at my dealer and give him the money. He's a "poor" college student.

I don't know what they bought with mine at the 7-11 (in 1993), but
'a pack of cigarettes' would be at the top of my 'guess' list.
The Clad Halves it was on top of in the drawer, combined with the
ASE, would have been enough Dollar amount to buy the pack...
Thanks for linking that, jbuck!

I got a 1963 Dime in my change today, so fools are still
parting with their silver.

Once upon a time, I assumed that if silver ever went above $10/oz.,
I'd never find silver in my change again! That was not true, and in
fact I've been finding more junk silver in change during this
recession, than I have found in years.

Nice find, but......this guy on Treasurenet, I don't remember who it was, but he scored like, 2, like of those. (if he wasn't totally lying) For your information, Treasurenet is full of jerks. Like one of my friends said when he was referring to Treasurenet, "There are many people on here that think they're God's gift to CRH", and it's true. They laid into me for trivial, petty things-got on me for my opinion of one member who was "finding" several hundred silver halves a week in like,4 boxes, and I came out and said she was faking her finds or finding it by some other way besides coin roll hunting, got on me for telling bank tellers that I was a coin collector, and I could go on for HOURS. It isn't anything like what it is here. I haven't had many people jump on me here,except when I truly was wrong. The atmosphere and general attitude on here is the best I have ever seen on a forum. So sorry to lecture. Nice find, and good luck!
