I've seen a couple of post like this lately. There must be a lot more silver back East cuz out here in Calif. I've never seen even a silver Washington quarter in change. I've got a couple of coin operated washers and dryers at the apartment building I own on the poorer side of town. They bring in an average of about $200 a month, all quarters, and for the last 10 years I've never seen a single silver one. Thats about 96,000 quarters

I found another SLQ in the rejected coin slot in a COINSTAR coin counting machine this summer.
And when I had a job at a Cumberland Farms gas station I used to get tons of mercury dimes.
One time at the gas station I got a large Canadian silver coin, it was the size of a silver dollar and I think it had a totem pole on one side.
I think it was 1850s I sold it at a coin shop, that was before I got hooked on metal detecting.
I wish I still had it but I needed some cash.

Here's that Canadian coin, it was 1958 not 1850s.

Dang!! I'm going to have to start going there instead of Sam's Club!

Nice find!!

 

[halfdime]

Excellent! Can you do a picture of the back?

 

[Weasel_Loader]

WOW!!! And I felt lucky to get a silver Washington out of or snack bar at work.

 

[kdismuke1]

I WOULD TAKE ONE FROM ANYWHERE.

 

[allen]

maybe you should shop at costco some more, might be more waiting on you...

 

[Cynangyl]

yes perhaps the person who needed that hotdog badly enough to hit up their dad's coin collection will go back for another hot dog! wow...what a find!

 

[Diggincoinz]

That is cool, so I guess a Coscto is a hot dog place? I'm in the North East, never heard of it.

 

[hollowpointred]

ive gotten silver Washingtons in change before, but never a Standing Liberty! ill bet that dont happen very often! congrats!

Here is the other side, maybe I'll go back today I could go for another dog.
Anyone ever stop at Blackies hot dogs in Cheshire Connecticut its right down the street from Costco and me.
It opened in 1928 I was just thinking it might be a good place to go detecting, not much grass but maybe the woods I'll have to ask the owner.
My sister owns a house close by that was built in 1859, I have found three Indian head pennies and a couple silver Roosevelt's and a V nickel.
I would like to go there more but I don't think my brother in law is to thrilled with me digging in his nice grass.
