Out in the wild

Thought I'd share a bit of good luck that happened today. My daughter happened to spot some coins that someone had left in the reject bin of a coin sorting machine. This is what she pulled. Can you spot the gem?

That's right, in addition to some Canadian, and a pretty destroyed modern quarter, she found some silver. This 1964 quarter is 90% silver.

Nice score for an 11 year old. It was a good reminder to always be on the lookout. Also a good chance to talk with her about why this one was special.

Thank you for contributing more great content to the #SilverGoldStackers tag. You have created a Precious Gem!

That's so lucky. Quarters have silver in them, excellent for collecting !

That looks quite classic actually

I got lots of coins from my local Coinstar machines too, only found one silver dime so far with the rest nickel, brass, steel etc.

She must of had a good teacher, keep up the good work!

Nice score! I always forget to check those machines. Save that Canadian change for when the CAD/US exchange goes back up. 😆
