Cool finds today

[CC-Hunter]

I was dumping several rolls of halves today and found a silver bicentennial quarter in the reject chute - my first in the wild. The machine broke down and when the teller fixed it this beat up Buff came down the reject chute - another first in the wild for me. The date is faint but is 1935.

dumps can be relieving---and precious metal is good for piece of mind :-))

Very precious few 40% quarters have been posted during my time on this forum. In fact, that may be the only one I've seen.

I believe I recall one other being posted about on here, but I can't remember if they posted a picture of it or not.

Man, that would seriously make my week CRHing wise. Hell, probably my month! I'm on a 16,640 nickel buffalo skunk streak right now, and finding such a rare (in the wild) quarter is awesome!

 

[HistoryH22]

Two awesome finds! That bicentennial quarter is quite the beauty!

That quarter is probably a 1 in 10,000,000 find, maybe more. truly a rarity in circulation. The buffalo is a 1 in 2,500 find. Amazing.
