unexpected barber half......almost felt guilty (pics)

[bigtuna]

Hello all, Im new to the forum. i plan on doing some swinging for the first time this summer. Im a junky for all things old, so it seems like a good fit for me lol.

Back to the barber ......i hit a gas station to fill up with fuel....i walk in to pay the attendant, my bill was 38.50 .......i handed the guy two $20 dollar bills.

He starts fumbling the register draw.....he looks a little distraught.....he hands me a single, then in a nervous voice he says "im out of quarters, can i give you a half dollar"........

Of course you can lol i reply.........he hands me the half dollar and i leave.....i didnt think anything of it till i got home and emptied my pockets for the change jar.......

Well here is the half dollar i was given lol.....and he looked like i was gonna refuse it when he gave it to me lol................ sorry for the quality of the cell phone pics...........

Very cool. You should buy a lottery ticket.

Reminder to us all....when you are given silver, or see it in the drawer, always ask about it (after it's in your possession). They may have more, know who has more and are willing to tell. Got many additional that way, even tracked people down before they "spent" them all. Can you say, "cha-ching"?

I think you are off to a good start to summer.

fantastic! it amazes me, but most store clerks don't have a clue what old coins are, or they think they are foreign or something. good score for you though!
