Elementary School Finds

[MayberryMonte]

Hit some elementary schools around Cleveland Tn. today. $3.58 in clad and some odds and ends. I did run into 2 fellow TNETers, Coondog 1969 and gruffy 9-11. We talked for about an hour and swapped stories. Real nice guys. 63 degrees today, great day to be alive and doing something you love.

Glad you found some glad today. It was a pleasure meeting you today and shooting the bull with ya. I saw you later in the evening over on Dalton pike. I was just pulling out of the street my son lives on and you had stopped and was pulling out on the highway also. You didn't see me and I didn't know it was you until you were almost past me, so I didn't blow my horn or anything.

Clad: To cover metal with another metal by bonding...Basically, common day coinage...Post 1964 dimes, quarters, halves (1965-1970 halves did contain 40% silver, but still clad by definition)..Susan B's, Sacs and Presidential Dollars and post 1982 pennies... Nickels are an alloy and I believe there metal content hasn't changed.....

Congrats on a great day.
