Check out this picture. Do you see the free silver?
CHANGE FROM LUNCH
I went to lunch and when I got my change, I knew I needed to take a second look. After throwing it onto the counter, I saw some free silver. I took the picture above to show some normal looking change. One of these quarters is NOT like the others. Do you see it?
Here's another look...
Here's the close-up
1964 Washington Quarter (90% Silver)
The quarters pulled out of my pocket had one that was different than the others. They are all shiny, but one has the magical year of 1964. This is the last year for U.S. coins with 90% silver.
Value = 3 Bucks
This is not a major SCORE for millions of dollars. It is just about three bucks worth of silver. It is in amazing condition for 53 years old. The fact that it came in my pocket change makes me view it as free silver.
Still in circulation
Has this coin has been rolling around in circulation for 50 plus years? I don't think so. I think somebody probably took good care of this quarter and some idiot spent it on a pack of gum. I hope that gum was good, probably Wrigleys Spearmint 4 piece. At least they got fresh breath.
Here's some close up pics of the coin alone. . .
