Silver quarter

Fosen · Nov 17, 2008

Hey everybody, I've been lurking this site for a while now and really enjoy reading your posts. I'd like to share my excitement about what I received in change after I bought a soda from a gas station on Friday morning! Luckily I was able to identify the unique sound of silver, or I might have missed it. I'm 39, and this is only the 3rd silver quarter I've ever noticed in my change...what's next?

That's pretty cool!
I've NEVER recieved any older, or keeper type coins in change in my life, other than silver Rosie dimes.
A friend of mine got a no-date SLQ last week, from a change machine at a car wash.
I told him "You don't know how lucky you are! Go empty out the machine"!
Congrats on the find!

Thanks to you all for the nice comments! Wasn't sure how often these show up, but it's the first time I've ever physically held one.

It was 5am when I came across this, on my way to work. Afterwards, as I was driving down the road I thought "Heck, the old lady that opened up probably just put a fresh roll of silver quarters in the cash register!
