Silver quarter in change today

[mts]

I had a first today. I received a 64 quarter in my change at the zoo. I was buying my daughter a $3 Icee and the guy gave me back 3 quarters. I usually don't check my change until I get home but something made me check it on the spot. Sure enough, one of them had a silver edge. I didn't have on my glasses so I had my daughter read the date to me. I was hoping there might be more in the drawer so I asked the guy if I could get some change. He seemed clueless about what I wanted. He rifled through the quarters for me and it looks like I got the only one available.

So with the price of silver being what it is I basically got that Icee free.

Good find . A few months ago, I was getting a $1.25 drink from a vending machine and almost put a 1936 quarter in, noticing the silver as I had it up to the slot. Don' know how long it had been in my pocket or where I got it in change....

Perhaps that's what made me check. I rarely ever check before shoving change into my pocket but this time something made me look at the edges. Maybe it was that sweet sound that caught my attention.

I've never had a silver quarter given to me in change but I have received two silver dimes on separate occasions.
