LOL! I got a silver quarter in change once and thought I had hit the lottery. And to think that within my lifetime you silver quarters, dimes, and half dollars were routine.

When I was 13 years old you could buy a gallon of gasoline for a quarter. Today a 1963 quarter will still buy a gallon of gasoline.

Wifey's one who'll stop to pick up a "lucky penny", and did so a few months ago at a restaurant while traveling.

She popped it into her pocket and when we got home it was a virtually uncirculated 1901 Indian Head -- musta been somebody's good luck coin.

Within my lifetime, that’s all you got!

Certainly within mine. I can vividly remember one of my uncles, who was very good at poker, coming to my grandparents' house after a good night with several candy paper bags full of silver half-dollars and silver dollars. (Sometimes he visited them without such riches. You know how poker can go sometimes.)
