My CS searches have been a waste lately

I went through a long drought myself. But if you're already in the store, you should always check unless someone is using it.

One dime
One nickel
12 pennies, 2 of which are 95% copper
And... One 1964 quarter.
It's been a while.

That quarter is an excellent find! Worth at least six dollars.

I have found plenty of 90% dimes before, but quarters are so rare. Really made my day. I'll take $6 any day except I'm not selling.

Foreigns are indeed the rock stars of 2025 so far with Canada leading the charge, averaging $1.67 a month. Thru April I am less than a twonie away from passing my all time one-year record ($8.30) that has stood for six years. Another potential record breaker this year is the fastest I've gotten to $3.65 (a penny a day) in my apartment complex parking lot finds. In 2023 I achieved it by June 17th so let's hope my neighbors keep up their carelessness!

The local one was empty. I'm tempted to stop checking it bc I feel like a shady looking employee there is snatching up the rejects.
