1964-D quarter 2 2

[Mel_in_PNW]

I just got this out of a change machine yesterday. I previously got 2 proofs out of it. I'm jazzed because I've gotten several Canadian silver quarters in the past, this is the first US quarter I've found. I know it's only worth a couple bucks just happy I found it. Wondering if I should hang out next to the change machine now. LOL

That's a great circulation find, Mel.  It's always fun to find a little bit of silver still kicking around out there.  Congrats!

Always a treat to find silver in circulation. It’s almost impossible these days it seems.

A nice find for sure.

I love it,

Nice. Silver remains in circulation, although at a very small percentage.

Wow! That's one confident drug dealer. Most sell out of an alley, dark street corner, or maybe a grubby apartment.

Build yourself a little route. That machine and find the local coinstars ( who notoriously kick out silver to the return slot). 
Seems every time I’m rifling the coinstar at the store, someone spots me 😂. I give them my best grandpa smile and explain how ever since they closed the re-cycling center , times are tough 😉. Most just smile with an understanding look.

Always interesting to ask yourself if they have actually been floating around out there for 58 years.   Most likely put back into circulation (spent) by someone who didn't know what they had.  In any case...CONGRATS!!

Drug dealers may be receiving coins stolen from collections to buy drugs...

Funny you say that.  My house was robbed by a couple of fine upstanding citizens Dec 31st or Jan 1st 2000 while i was working Happy new Year!!!!  They didnt get any of the good stuff just the old blue folders of circulated coins.. They showed up in a pawn shop  with about half of them already gone.   Franklins, Walkers, Buffalos, ect.  well our fine men in blue found a couple of second hand people and got them for recieving stoilen property...  oh well had to start those over and i was happy to collect them again.

Who would have thought a drug dealer could be a potential source of rare coins!

I would be willing to bet there is at least one member here, who having read that,  thought, Never mind the coins. Now about those "old blue folders"... 😉

I try to keep my folders free of nasty coins, which tend to wear them out...

I could only imagine how many "folders or albums" you have acquired over the years due to your passion for them...... Probably mind boggling......

It was somewhere around 10,000 until I started divesting myself of the post-1980 pieces. I'll never write books about those, so I don't need to stockpile them.
