Rare coin tossed in Salvation Army kettle (Probably Worth $10.00)

Almost Missed it

“This just happened to be on top of the tube,” said Hicks, describing how the coin came to be stacked after the change was sorted.

Bookkeepers with the Salvation Army will need to adjust their balance sheet a little more to the good after it was discovered someone tossed a rare quarter into one of the holiday collection kettles here in Edenton.

Bill Hicks, chairman and treasurer of the Edenton Lions’ Club, is well aware the town ranks among the state’s oldest, but he was still surprised to find a donated coin that dates back to some of the area’s historical architecture. And discovering the 1853-quarter was a mere coincidence.

I think this is a really nifty way to give what you can. And, it makes the news. You hear stories more and more how people are doing this.

Not so sure that someone was being generous, but rather made an error. Seems to me there was a huge chance that this coin would have just been rolled up with the rest and deposited at the bank.. I dunno. Gpurs..

I wouldn't say huge but, it's possible. Even silver Roosevelt's catch peoples eye now a days. Just by the sound falling and hitting the ground or sheen.
