Hi all!
This is a story about saving the best for last. Last friday while dumping some of my clad halves one of the tellers saiid he wanted me to look at something. He said a lady came in dumping change that had been collected at the Y and she had some dimes she wasn't sure she should put in the machine. He looked and they were Mercury dimes! She started dumping them and he said he would give her the emoney for them and got what was left. He kept a 1917 and 18 and sold me the rest for face. I asked if they still had the bag and he told me it was still on the machine and hadn't been filled yet. He also said he saw more of the coins when he changed another bag. I asked him if I could buy the bag after it filled and he said yes. So monday morning he calls and says the bag is ready. Here is what I found.
