I hope you guys have been able to hold your own this last week. This deep snow and these cold temps sure are pretty depressing.
Not sure about you guys, but I've noticed an increase in the amount of dug coins in circulation. And by dug, I mean dug and not really cleaned. I was over by my sister's place the other day and noticed a gallon-sized Ziplock bag full of money, mostly change. My sister told me it was random change they were saving for my nephew's college fund. Being nosey, I picked up the bag and immediately saw a dime that looked different from the rest. It had that "look". I fished it out and noticed it was a 64' Rosey. Cool! So I dumped the whole bag out onto the counter and looked for more. I couldn't believe how many uncleaned, dug coins there were in there! I jokingly told my sister that they were mine that I was just too lazy to clean. I looked for more silver dimes but they were all clad. Then I looked through the pennies and found 6 wheaties (all clean-circulated). I went through the nickles and counted 4 dug nickels. When I rubbed one, it shined more than the rest. I rinsed it off in the sink, and had a 44-P war nickel. Not bad!
Just thought I'd post a little something here to help pass the season away. Anyone here doing any CRH'ing?
Cheers.
