Went antiquing here in Topeka with mom and wife today and at the last place we stopped, the fella there asked if we collected anything.
We said we were just browsing around and we were, but im always on the lookout for cheap sterling of course. I didn't tell him that but I asked him if he had any coins. At first he said no, but wait! He says he does have a few and he'd be right back. He came back out and plopped 6 coins down on the counter and he said he'd take a buck for them. He said they wouldn't sell just sitting in the back room anyway. I'm not much of a coin guy but I go through my change jar every year never expecting much. I find the random Wheatie and a silver quarter every so often but that's the extent of it. I don't know much about them but I do toss the good ones aside when I find them and I've maybe got a handful by now haha. It's about the best I might do for a treasure in Topeka this visit since the rain won't let up and I'm limited on time here. Got a 1945 wheat 1944 mercury dime 1924 mercury dime 1937 buffalo (Indian Head) nickel And best of all, an 1882 one cent piece! They aren't rare coins or uncirculated or worth a ton but they're worth more than a buck for sure and it almost felt like seeing flash in the pan there for a minute!!

Sweet! I bet most folks don't even realize some of their coins get rejected and are waiting for them to reclaim them. Good eye and congrats on the free coin finds!
