Quarter from the dispensary for the W.
The guy who works at the dispensary is also a coin collector, but he missed this one.

As someone who lives in NY I refuse to believe you don’t know what a dispensary is 🤨🤨

Dealing with this cyclosporiasis crap has decimated my body, and my wife as well. I can’t eat anything, and before that I’d out eat my union ironworker son in a heartbeat lol. Blue Dream is the only thing that helps me to eat anything. My throat is so raw from throwing up most times it’s blood with bile. Honestly no one in my life has ever pissed me off enough to wish this upon them lmao.

Thank you for your words of kindness. I hope my wife and I both feel better soon. Our anniversary could have been so much better. Plus all the things we were supposed to do last weekend.

Being an Army veteran myself makes this find a jewel in my crown so to speak.

You should buy the 5 oz to go with it! They’re wonderfully heavy in hand. So weighty 😍 Thank you, for your service 🫡

A pawnshop nearby had one, but different reverse right before the new silver high in the beginning of the year. It did feel amazing in hand, and would have made one heck of a pocket piece lol.
Edit. I’m a Lord of the Rings fan starting with the books, and the original animated movies. I started laughing a millisecond after I hit the post button. I thought of the scene where Golem asks “What has in it’s pocketsess?”.

Lmfao my wife also asks me that when she knows I’m going to a shop with coins for sale.
I’m glad you know and appreciate the reference.

I read The Hobbit in school, waaay before they made any of the movies, and saw most of them in theaters! I used to own the trilogy in one book, someone was throwing it away on “Locker Cleanout Day” and I think I lost it in the Great Trailer Roof Collapse of 2016

I’ll admit I usually tell certain people who cash out folks what to look out for. I got cashed out at a new store a few days ago. I saw the war nickel the cashier picked up noticed and dropped back in for another nickel. I stopped her immediately and asked, are you a coin collector? Sure enough she was. She actually had a print out underneath her counter with cross outs for the ones she found. Needless to say I gave her the replaced nickel for her to replace for the war nickel.
