Yes, I had to finally break down and mail my tax returns so the chosen can continue receiving hard earned freebies. Anyway, stopped at Burger King on the way bank and the woman in front of me was paying a $18 bill with all change - I guess she was running a little short between freebie checks. Anyway, as I watched and waited while her and the cashier were having a really hard time doing those incredibly hard math calculations (no, I'm not kidding), I spied a morgan in her change. I offered her $5 for it and she accepted. Turned out to be a 1899o in fair condition. No, my conscience did not bother me one bit about offering her so little after mailing those cashier checks earlier.


Justice.

She probably went home and said, "Some idiot today gave me five bucks for a dollar coin. What a dope!"

500 Brink's Box of halves

Interesting box. A Brink's box mostly filled with yellow String re-wrapped rolls by another searcher. Of course, not much in this box since someone brought the String rolls back neatly re-wrapped, and Brink's just dumped them in their Brink's box.

Good morning!

Last night's box of halves netted 2 x 64's and a '68! Also, got a '71 that sounded plastic when it hit the table; it weighed in at 11.0 grams...weird....

Pick up another box tonight!

Saabman,
That might be a magicians coin. Try dropping it hard on the edge to see if it splits apart. Also, see if the reverse is rotated versus the obverse, another clue it might be a magician's coin.
