I know that sound...

Not really coin roll hunting but went to the gas station and standing in line The guy in front of me pays for his coffee with coins and I hear the two hitting together. The teller puts them in her drawer. I'm next in her line and I pay for mine and tell her I want the coins the guy just before me paid with. She said it was two quarters. She grabs all of them and scoops them up and shows them all to me and said pick it out. So I pulled out a 1940 silver quarter...

The guy behind me..."CRAP! I was going to ask for it too! Your too young to know that sound!" Lol. It stands out in the crowd!

A small score but something so little can make your day! A friend of mine was at work and having a bad day, he collects silver. So I stopped by and gave it to him and that small $.25 piece made his day!

Wow, nice quarter. Nice of you to give it to your friend, too.
In my teen yrs, I worked in convenience stores and grocery stores, handling the cash registers. Yep, you learn that sound, feel, and look, too. We could separate the old coins, and at the end of our shifts, just buy them at face value. We smoked back then, I always hated, you could taste the metals through your cig's after a shift.
