Great story congrats on the buy. I still remember Mom and Dad filling up their cars for $.16 a gallon when I was a pre-teen. Pumping gas, and washing windshields when it was in $.40 cents. Now its tough to get for under $3 and your pumping and washing the windows. Guess with all the inflation that's a good price. My big introduction to the PM's was when they took the silver out of the money in 1964. It was a revelation. All the sudden Dad was giving me dollar bills for school lunch. So I could get change from the school lunch cashier who babysat us when Mom worked at the clinic. She would always change us with 90% silver dimes quarters or half dollars if she had them. A big smile and wink. She babysat us often in the summer and was a wonderful gal. From those days on I was hooked into the 90% vs the copper clad coins. My 93 year old dad still has the bag of coins we accumulated . Its just a few hundred dollars of coins but it was a treasure hunt as long as you could still get them. Have to admit I was stunned a few weeks back when I actually got a silver 90% quarter as change, Had to smile and shake my head wondering who spent it and why? Probably found in a drawer of parent or at grandparents house when they were moving them to a home or they passed or maybe found it in some old clothes.. Brought back lots of good memories of hunting for those little treasures and how happy we were to add them to the stash. Keep Stacking!
