Over the past five years I’ve had the job of cleaning out the homes of deceased elder relatives. In each and every house, I found at least one wine jug filled with silver coins from 1963-64.
Now I have five jugs of silver coins from 1963-64.
(I’ve been able to sell some of the good examples of old quarters from the 20s for $15-20. Just crazy.)
