Hey guys, no big story here, I literally only intended to drive about 40 miles or so on the turnpike to attempt to get permission, well I don't know why but I just kept on driving, today was one of those days where I didn't feel like doing the door knocking thing and I just wanted to dig, I just wanted to put on the headphones, listen carefully and dig, so off to the old school I went, Found another half!!! 20150707_192133.jpg sadly a 1986 half lol!!:BangHead:, also got a philly transit token, a 45 Jefferson nickel, 13 wheats and 2 roosies (1947 and 63). Like I said, I just wasn't feeling the knocking on door thing today and this was just fine with me! 20150707_155005.jpg 20150707_192125.jpg 20150707_192148.jpg

OK Chris you got it bad bad bad. I remember someone saying oh I will be satisfied finding Rosie's and mercs after finding a amazing find. Well that must explain that 2 hour drive to the school. Now do you care to talk to Dr. Tyler about your Old Old Coin Addiction (OOCA)?

LMAO!!! doc, I should explain, I drove that far only because I didn't feel like knocking on doors, I dunno, I just wasn't feeling it this morning, I said to myself "hmm, where can I go where I know ill find a few keepers and not have to knock on doors?, yep the school" lol!!!

trust me I wish I had a place like that close to me, lets see I spent at least 20 bucks in gas, another 20 on tolls, and between my morning coffee and lunch I spent about 10 so that's fifty bucks for 2 silver dimes and a handful of wheats lol, yeah im obsessed id say, I could've easily BOUGHT 30 something silver roosies for all that effort but not nearly as fun!

thanks!!

Those are what I call pop money days. Hit the local park for the pop machine at work. Coinage is coinage! Good job!

I've felt the same way about door knocking. That's when you head for an old spot...

Nice OD btw.
