Crazy Cherrypick With Additional NEW Pictures

Hi guys,
Yes! Strange results. I was ready to cash my coins in at the bank. When the person behind me was waiting for me to finish so they too, can cash in their change. Before they dumped theirs in, I asked if I can very quickly go through their coins, only take 5 minutes. I told them whatever I find I'll give them 3 times the value. They said ok. So swiftly going through the change I only found one coin of importance. Guess what that coin was?
Yes, a W! The 2020 Rockefeller. Lol. It's been awhile since I found a W quarter. First time I ever got one by Cherry picking. I gave the gentleman a $1.

    Cool. I got a silver proof Washington out of a vending machine a while back. You can still find stuff in circulation.

    I found 2 in change and didn't even look to see which America the Beautiful reverse they had. Didn't keep them cause I didn't think they were worth a premium unless mid BU. Duh! Oh well.

    Joey Baby, I've raised this question on other threads but I've never got an answer. You are my last hope. Question; Why is the little girl on that coin trying to feed a popsicle to the sapling? I need an answer. PRONTO POR FAVOR!!!!

    Today, I had a homely man ask me if I wanted to buy “old money” today at the gas station. I told him no thanks and they might be valuable and he just said he needed cigarettes.

    I didn’t even look at what he had but figured it was fake or stolen.

    You should have done what Joey did. When you think out of the box and you might get lucky.

    Well as long as he didn't tell me to reach into his pants pocket for it I definitely would have checked it out!

    Wow... @JoeyCoins, you seem to find those W quarters everywhere... And, as other members have already posted, "I have yet to find a W quarter in change." And I get change almost every day.... I do have a few W quarters from forum members, so, at least I have some nice specimens. However, I am still looking for the thrill of a find in change... Like I used to get when I was a kid searching for stuff in my paper route money. Oh well, it will happen. Cheers, RickO

    Thanks RickO.
    Yes, like your last few words, "it WILL happen!"
    But, RickO, in order to really find these. You will probably have to try to get rolls from your bank/s. Your odds will increase tremendously. I know it can be tedious and burdensome. But, I think it was you that told me? My persistence paid off. This is the main route I went to achieve hunting down my 60 W Quarters. I say 60 because the 61st W was Cherry picked. Lol
    Good Luck, buddy. As well as, the rest of you guys that hasn't had the luxury in finding these gems. Hurry up though, it's getting late as each day goes by. Remember, NO more being minted. 😥

    Lol. Don't really know if you're messing with me or you truly don't know what the little girl IS doing on the coin? Lol. Well, if you don't know? What's in her hand is NOT a popsicle but a small trowel to plant seeds. In which she is doing. If you are joking. Well, that's a good one! :D
    This is one of the good designs for the W's. Have quite a few of those myself.

    Sorry but even if I wasn't a dealer and would have told them it's already been gone through... I wouldn't be interested in having a random stranger go through my stuff. I'll take the 75 cent income hit. Just saying,

    Joey Baby I'd never mess with you. I just couldn't figure it out. Little Hydrantette Jenny who is 2 years old waves and says " HI TREE" to the trees along side the road when we drive by them. And I'm sure she'd share her candy with her tree friends, so I just thought ......oh forget it.....,..OF COURSE I WAS MESSING WITH YOU!!!!!!

    P.S. I just came into the house. I was out shoveling rocks. Anyway.......sat down in the old recliner. Felt something on my left leg. BIG scorpion. Tailed curled and all. Easy flip off with the index finger. Scoop up and smash. Way better than the time I felt something crawling up in my crotch! Another scorpion. I'LL NEVER WATER THE LAWN AGAIN IN MY BOXER SHORTS....BAREFOOT!!!!

    I would have lost my $hit if I looked down and saw a scorpion on me.
    I think I’d rather have a beard of bees.

    Move to Buffalo and you won't have to worry about scorpions when you shovel.

    That was last year. In June. It's a miracle I got through 2020. I really thought .......the bees killed me. Twenty stings on my head. Honest to God. Then the rattlesnake bite. In September. There's more but ......Oh,...Sweet Baby Jesus! .....Monday a baby mountain lion came to say hello. Where's his momma was my only thought. Luckily I had my 12 guage at the time. Two weeks ago I walked out the front door and The Lovely Mrs. Hydrant said, "I can't believe you just stepped over that rattlesnake." I killed it with a shovel. A month ago my lovely daughter-in-law Monica, almost stepped on a Diamondback. 12 gauge took care of it. HELP!!!!!! Ranch life.
