Sent a silver into the wild.

I had a beat up 1961 Washie that was in a Lucite paperweight that had damage on it before I cracked it out, not to mention polished to a mirror. I put it in a parking meter. Who knows where it will wind up but I hope maybe it makes a YN happy someday.

Always wondered where the silver in the CoinStar reject bin came from... must be someone screwing with our heads after 57 years.

Thanks to you someone will have a better day, thanks.
It's the thought that counts.
It has been a while since I got a silver quarter..... I find Roosevelt dimes in the Coinstar fairly frequently, but not quarters. The last two I got were in change from purchases. Cheers, RickO
My guess is from the meter it will wind up getting put in a roll at some point.
Yup, soon to be found in circulation -- broken from a roll

How did you crack it out. I have a 1961 "mint set" in a Lucite paperweight and would love to free the coins.

Kennedys are my quest...
Parking meter? You couldn't find a pay phone or bathroom stall to put the dime in?
Do any of you remember the bathroom stalls that you had to put a dime in for the door to open?
Whether you think you can or, think you can't, you're right.
You mean the ones you crawled under to save your dime?
Exactly... parking meters that take coins are a vanishing breed. I suppose vending machines are next.

I did it a long time ago and I really don't remember. Since then the coin had been sitting in my desk drawer for years and I finally decided to do something with it. If I were to guess, I probably put in my vice and cranked until it broke.
I think that's awesome! I do stuff like that often...Encouraging young collectors of ANY KIND is critical for our hobby to survive...
I put 2 Cleaned coins out there, but they were not silver. One was a cleaned buffalo nickel and one was a Cleaned flying eagle cent that had environmental damage as well.
