Dude at O'Reilly hands me my change and there is a dark dime with a womans face on it.I said WTH are you trying to pass off Canadian on me? He said, no its ours. Its called a Mercury dime and its made out of some strange metal. I said, Yeah thats trippy, you got more? Strange that he knew what it was called but had no clue why I bought all of the dimes in his drawer. Go Figure. merc.webp

That’s crazy! I think I need to go to the parts store now.
 
Great finds and an even better story.
 
How did he end up with 15 mercs and 2 rosies in the cash drawer? Nice trade!
 
Score!!! Congrats!!!!
 
Don't worry he will google it later to find out.
 
Sweet score!!!!
 
For the record, after I went through his dimes I did have him check the quarters and zip nada. I did get a worn out 1916 but not a D :( Cant complain. Turned a $1.7 into minimum $34 scrap in a couple minutes :)
 
Good thing for you I wasn't working there. When I worked at O'Reillys I always swapped out the silver. It wasn't that often but it did happen. Congrats on that score. Kinda whas hoping you had dug them..
 
Wow, that's nuts. I worked at Napa for a few years in my retirement, and never found change like that. Great haul.
 
You hit the jackpot on that pickup! Nice score! Thanks for sharing.
 
Great finds. Any time I run a register at work I check dimes and quarters for silver get lucky sometimes.
 
...and you had him check the quarters!? You really seized the moment...maybe reward him with a gift card or something? Not that you have to..
That was nice of him :)
