A few months ago, I asked the local ice cream truck driver if he could look out for funny coins like half dollars and big dollars for me.
Even though the weather has been good, I've missed him coming down my street the last few times. But I saw him elsewhere in town, and he said he'd be coming by my house, and that he had accumulated a bunch of coins for me.
Today he came by, and sold me $35 face value in half dollars. Hey, not bad, considering he's doing the work! There wasn't anything particularly special, but I did get a 40% half, so it was definitely not a skunk!
Hopefully over the Spring and Summer months, he'll be accumulating more. And he's happy to save them for me - he's a very nice guy. I'm hoping some kids will raid their grandpa's coin collection.*
* OK, I actually don't hope that happens. That would be horrible for the coin collector. But if it happens, I would rather that the coins end up in the hands of somebody who can appreciate them, and not just get deposited. You know what I'm talking about. :-)
