So my fiance has 2 sons and ive got them into coins a little bit....not as interested as myself but her youngest has a thing for canadian pennies and her oldest likes anything cool and rare...anyways her oldest is a hustler like me...always trying to make a buck...so today he was walking around the neighborhood with the lawn mower asking if anyone wanted their lawn mowed...he found a client real quick and mowed her lawn for $15...so i guess when he was done he asked her..."by chance do you have any old coins?" Lol...kinda a random question...she ended up saying yes that her father gave her some "indian heads" a long time ago...but she would have to look for them....so he ended up going back and she could only find one coin...she gave it to him...he came home and showed me and i was pretty impressed...his first silver coin and basically got it for free...i guess she might have more but needs to try and find them

Good story, I used to do that kind of work when I was a kid, the repeat business can be good. I'd usually try to always have some kind of work lined up, still can't believe I had a paper route for a couple of years or so.
