My son learns to check his change...

My son was jingling his wallet around this morning and I heard something of an unfamiliar clang - like a foreign coin or something. Believe me, I can distinguish coins by sounds - so he takes two quarters and a half out, they look normal until I look at the edge of the one quarter - silver! A 1964-D. Paid him the $5.16 melt value, and have insured that he will be checking his change a bit more often.

Very nice, now if I could get my wife to do the same.

Thats a good way to keep him involved, and hopefully you showed him what to look for on the 1964 d quarter, Perhaps a type C Reverse or a ddo or ddr. With most coins there are varieties and thats always something to keep them interested too and worth more than melt. Nice job................Enjoy

Great catch... not sure I would have heard that in a change purse. Sure, dropping it on a counter, table etc.... Cheers, RickO

That is great to hear.

How old is your son?
