A silver Washington quarter in a box. I haven't seen one in the wild since forever. I also found some interesting foreign coins and on the way out asked if they had any halves. They had $4 worth. Check it out.

Who would have thought?

You SCORED! Ain't this fun :)
 

Yes, this is fun! Plus I'm trying yet another box of Washington quarters today, silly me!
 

Sweet Silver!!:hello2:
 

Awesome good job
 

It truly is a shame I don't collect coins. It's mainly relics for me. These were "accidental" finds. I give them to my one daughter. Right now I'm playing in finding some of the West Point quarters, but again, it's a game to me.

Isn't it a game for us all? No matter what we collect? Coins, relics, NA, marbles, buttons, the best deal at a garage sale or second hand store?


I love games!

Nice score, Smokey!
 

Nice!!! Congrats!!!
 

I seem to be collecting metal detectors...either that or they are multiplying themselves. What would you get if you crossed an Equinox 800 with a Deus and an AT Pro???
 

Congrats. I haven't seen one in its natural environment in quite a while. I believe the last time was 5 or 6 years ago when I found one along with 2X silver dimes in the reject tray of a Coinstar in my local grocery store. I know I look like a homeless person sticking my hand in that thing every time I go shopping, but you just never know.

You'd get a ProDeusInox
 

Nice finds.....
 

She shoots....she scores!!!
 

What you get when you cross those three machines? A pile of smoking ruin as they'd destroy each other.

Got two more 2019 Lowell Mass. West Point mint quarters, did the box already.
 

Ooooh, you got a Guardian Angel token in that lot! I do not know their history, but about five years ago i was given three of them, in loose change at my shop, added in for free by customers (three different customers). I became interested in them and scored 100 of them, labelled NOS, on eBay. Now i give them out to customers for free too.

Anybody know who created these Guardian Angel tokens, when, and how many were minted?
 

Sweet silver finds! :occasion14:
 

I'm trying another box Friday. Must be losing it.
 

Nice! They are still out there, I’ve received 5 in pocket change last 5 years, and 30 in the Coinstar about a month ago. Average while roll hunting was one per $700.
Good luck with the next box.
