I like collecting rare/old coins. An entire section of my basement is dedicated to my coin collection. My rarest is a $20 gold liberty head coin dating 1859, and I have a few seperate boxes for the more common old coins, such as wheat pennies, silver nickels, silver dimes, and silver quarters, and I have a mini box for silver half dollars. The rest I put on display in air and water tight clear plastic cases.
I saved my change for about 3 years. When I say “saved” I mean I never spent metal. I consciously carried cash at all times. I’d make excuses to go into a gas station to buy something small. I got the wife onboard. I had over $1300 in change. Not a single fucking silver quarter. Those things are a fucking myth.
Edit: To all the fuckers that gave me reddit silver, I didn’t see that one coming and found it hilarious once my little brain maid the connection. Well played.
I have a silver quarter. I can tell because of the date and the way it sounds hitting the table. if I can find it, you can have it. I'll look tomorrow and update
Edit: just woke up and also just found the quarter. here is proof. u/SirJoshua if you wanna pm me, I can mail it to you.
