7-11 change this afternoon. (;>}

Stopped at the convenience store on the way home from work to snag a tall boy for something to wash my chili down with. The familiar clank as the clerk dropped change into my palm got my instant attention.
The brew was virtually free on this outcome.

Curse declining silver and rising coffee!!

Did you ask for 4 quarters before you left?

I hope he did! I would've asked for $5 in quarters!

He's going to read this & say "OH CRAP!" then race back to 7-11!

I asked the clerk (sole proprietor) if he had any more like this. His response: Ohhh No ! Would you like a different one?

To which I replied: Only if they look like this, as I showed him the edge of the coin.

Oh geez!

Great find. I haven't caught a silver washie in the wild for years.

I still see dimes now and then, probably because they are smaller and that much harder to spot.

And of course after all this time a lot of people don't even know we once had silver in our pockets.

And that is the last silver you will get while he works there.... Cheers, RickO

nice pick up

Not 90% silver...but the Cherrypickers' FS-901 variety (Reverse of 1968-S Proof) for 1970-P and 1970-D Roosevelt dimes are relatively easy to find in change. I just got a 1970-P from the gas station the other day. Here:

FS-901 on 1969-P Roosevelts, on the other hand, are extremely difficult to find.

Good lesson on how the silver quarter preserves wealth. Takes a handful of clads for a cup of coffee.
