Last night at work, a couple gave Tammy a roll of quarters to cash in, since our slot machines don't accept coins, only paper money and cashout tickets, which they print for you when you cash out of that machine. She said after running them through the machine that "some of them looked weird," but after pulling a handful of quarters out of the bag, she couldn't find any weird ones.
Well, she went to lunch, and I started looking through the quarters in the bag, pulling them out by the handful. And guess what I found? Seven dollars' worth of silver quarters! Ranging in date from 1935 to 1964, I think the last year they made them with silver. Tammy and I split the quarters, since she's the one who recieved them, and I was the one who found most of them, searching through over $200 in quarters. It seems to me that each of them are worth at least two dollars each, which doesn't seem like much, but it's eight times more than their face value, so that's a pretty good profit.
I think if I sell any, it's going to be the ones from the 50s and 60s, and I'll keep the 30s and 40s that I have. I'm going to check on eBay and see how much people are buying them for because there's a guy at work who's interested in buying some of mine.
That was just as exciting as finding the red seal five dollar bill back in October!
