Well back again and this time I found more silver. Was coming back from lunch and hear the silver song going on at our coinstar and watched the young lady using it. she kept putting a coin in again and again and it kept popping out. I told her it doesn't take canadian coins and she told me it wasn't canadian. I went up to her and told her I could switch it out for another coin that would work and she handed it to me. It was a 1954 quarter. Woo-hoo! Silver baby! As calm as can be I switch her a clad for it and she popped it into the coinstar (thus paying coinstar's 11.9 cents on each dollar fee - ouch!) and I got my silver quarter. still looking for buffs and war Nicks but only though till searches.
Unfortunately the one day I couldn't park in my driveway due to slushy snow and living in the middle of nowheres-ville, I parked in front of my driveway. I live 15 miles from the nearest town and rather than get my car stuck till the neighbor came over to plow me a parking spot, I parked it perpendicular to my driveway. And a cop came by and gave me a parking ticket. Didn't have time to write a letter or go down to talk to the magistrate about the circumstances due to weather and now I am stuck with a $110 parking ticket. Which is crap since a speeding ticket is only $125 dollars. There goes half of my next paycheck. =(
On the funny side that made me chuckle, Mom was thinking about selling some of dad's silver. I told her not to because silver is at only $21 dollars an ounce whereas it was $34 dollars just last year. Worse comes to worse I will buy it from her so we can still keep it in the family. Dad and me use to do that all the time back and forth to eachother, LOL.
Anyways check with you later luvs.

That was quick thinking & good you were able to save that quarter from the clutches of the coinstar thief machine. There's no way for you to go to court & throw yourself on their mercy? I'm hoping that after you explain to the judge the circumstances of your parking dilema, they would be merciful to you. All it would cost you is some time hopefully. I didn't know that the coin star fee is so high now. Last I remember it was 9%. They are such thiefs. It's also good to see you posting once again. Hope things will be getting better for you now that spring is finally approaching.
