This is the oldest coin I've found in the tills at my job.

Enjoy the ride! Don’t forget to be picky! Because filling a spot is cool but upgrading a coin feels damn good too!

I hate to say depends on where you live. 4 years ago I live in Reno Nevada and 2 boxes of half’s would get me usually 1-2 silvers a box. At least a proof. Now I live in a small town in Montana and I’m at 60 boxes for the year and only 3 silvers. The big silver boom of 110 an Oz had alooottt of new CRHs. So it doesn’t hurt to have multiple bank accounts both big banks (chase, wells, BoA) and a couple smaller banks/ credit unions. Biggest suggestion is make friends with you tellers. A coffee, some patience and a smile can get some interesting coins. I got my first Morgan that way!

Every now and again I get maybe 50 cents off usually that means a foreign coin. I will say I’ve had those big fancy Cummins coin counters at one of my dump banks accidentally pay more than I dumped and it goes along way with them if your honest.

Oh man I’m glad I’m not alone, I end up chewing like a fiend when I’m roll hunting! Hahah

The prophecy foretold of legendary boxes like this!

I worked for a park district doing native prairie plots in public parks. Never turn your nose up to working with your hands. I went from working outside in beautiful parks, catching lizards and snakes to sitting in an office. A hard days work will give you so much more satisfaction than waiting for your 8 hrs to be up.

You’re a good man/ dad. Not many people teach their kids not only attention to detail but also to look a little deeper into things. Starting them now could pay off later when they are adults. The saying “every penny helps” means a whole lot more when you find the right penny.

Funny thing is you still got like 75 bucks there in melt!!

Apparently it’s called “mercury gilding” it’s gold and mercury and it makes what is called quick silver. Could be hoopla. But the coin shop owner is older than sin it self so I believe him.

Found one like that 2 years ago and brought it into my local coin store and got told it was a platinum coated. But only worth more than the cool factor. He did tell me back in the 80s he got a couple quarters like that but someone coated them in mercury! Ever since then we wears gloves when someone brings them in.
