Hey, two 'great' finds in two days. Just got a clad proof 1993 Quarter in change from the local (to work) Taco Bell.

This is the second collectible coin I have received from this business. First was a AU Hot Spirngs quarter a couple of weeks ago, first, and only, NP quarter wild caught.

Hey Kids!!! Keep stealing the old man's coins from that old cigar box...Taco Bell is worth it! :D

those counterstamped cents come with a bunch of different dates, most of them seem to be 1975 & 1976. Congrats on the proof quarter, I've never found one myself.
