Found this Buff. During Lunch Hour

Not with my Sov. Gt. It was part the change given back to me after I paid for my lunch. What a suprise!

Good for you. My mom runs the kitchen at a elementry school. God bless her. Late 70's and she still loves to work being a cook and the school kitchen manager. Anyway, she often brings home silver coins that she got from kids and gives them to me. Unfortunately, I hear from others that clad finds are drying up in school playgrounds and such, especially at elementry schools, as it's much easier for parents to load a pre-paid school card to give their kids who can be careless with a bunch of change in their pocket. I hear it's not as bad at high schools where kids are more responsible and thus want to carry real money they can also spend on other things. But, part of the elementry school thing is that thanks to some government programs most of those kids (she says) aren't even paying a dime for their lunch, but rather get pre-loaded government food cards. Your tax dollars at work, because I'm talking a solid middle class neighborhood here where most families probably shouldn't be getting that kind of government support.

I've got a few silver dimes and quarters in change from a gas station over the last year or so. A friend was at a gas station a few months back and the clerk was complaining about a dollar wierd coin and what to do with it. My buddy said let me see it and I think it was a morgan dollar. He gladly gave the clerk $1 for it and then sold the coin to a dealer.

I remember when I was a young boy we used to buy candy from this older gentleman who we called ''the candyman''. He was always looking at the coins that we gave him. I did not know that at the time that he was looking for silver or rare coins. Now I find myself doing the same thing. How ironic.
