Agreed, because we know what to look for. My wife and daughter go thru their change all the time, and find silver Rosies. My wife even found a Merc in her change a few months ago. Both of them come home with Wheat pennies on a weekly basis, and this is just in their pocket change. But because of my coin collecting hobby, they were taught what to look for. My wifes friend decided to go thru her change jar last month, and showed me some coins that she had no idea of what they were. All she knew, is that one was a quarter and 2 were dimes. Imagine my surprise when I told her she was holding a Standing Liberty Quarter, and two Mercury Dimes ! She said she just doesnt pay attention, and thru them in her jar. Because I do a lot of handyman work for her, she gladly gave me the coins. ( and I gladly took them ) ! Many people out there, just dont know or care what they have. They probably take the jar or bag to the coinstar and dump. Lucky thing for us !
