It pays to listen for that good old silver sound

[skylarking1970]

Went to the gas station today to get gas and buy a lotto ticket. When the guy opened his drawer I saw some halves in it and heard what I thought was the sound of silver. I went back to my car and scratched off the lotto ticket...loser. Still thinking about those halves, I went back in and bought another one. I then asked him if he had some halves he would want to sell. He said "yeah" then opened his drawer. What I thought would have been 3 or 4 halves, turned out to be a handful. He says "and they are all silver too". Quickly I said I'll take them all. Forked over $7.50, and ended up getting 8 1964's and 7 1965-1969's. I'll probably throw 'em up on Ebay today.

BTW, the other $2.00 lotto ticket I bought turned out to be a $20.00 winner!

lets see 9.50 invested total -- 2.00 in lotto , 7.50 for coins --win $20 lotto -- so up 11.50 --then sell coins for 56.50 ---so up 68.00 for the day not bad .
