A good week at work

[Dang]

As many of you do not know I work in retail and have the opportunity to dig around a lot in the cash drawers loose change wells.
Here's what I eye'd in the drawers Tuesday and Wednesday at work!
Unlike metal detecting where I just pocket the finds, I have to buy these at face value. But it's a good investment if you ask me.
The nickle I believe was minted by accident with the same alloy as the president series coins were I think.

Im really not trying to burst your bubble, but It is MOST likely, a high-school chemistry experiment in "electro-plating". The coin is placed in a solution and charged with low levels of electricity... the gold-salts in the solution attach themselves to the nickel... and you have a "Gold" coin.

I did this back in high-school

RARE ? In a way, because there are probably only a few thousand done by students in chemistry... valuable, nope.

Well thanks for bursting my bubble mitto!..

allthough i see my 'finds' be leanin over and checkin out the register drawer when the cashier opens it. I sure got a lot o' odd looks and draws slammed shut
Stores that sell a lot o' cigarettes are great places to 'find treasures'. People wil go to grrrreat lengths and spend anything to git thier nic fix.
