This week had some real ups and downs...His dump machine was broken for several days so KT had to spend an hour and 45 minutes at one of the S L O W machines at another branch...but KT got His coins dumped so he had the cash to pick up his next 5 boxes yesterday.
KT posted his 51D quarter find in the CoinStar machine at Krogers at lunch that day! And all was looking very good! But then came the hunt...ripped through 4 boxes last night... What a bummer...not one silver!
And some stinker substituted a quarter for a half in one of the rolls so was auto down 25 cents! Did get a nice proof, some NIFCs and another magic coin...this time a real interesting one...
So when KT got back to the Castle this evening...He had that one box left...started slowly through it and in the 2nd $100 worth out popped a 40%er! KT was a bit happier then! Another blank $100 and KT was down to just the last 20 rolls...when BINGO! Up popped a 64 Ken! Happy Days! and when running the last 10 rolls out rolled another 40%er! So KT wrapped up with the 5th box saving the week! Whew! It was real roller coaster!
I got pics of all the goodies for viewing...the last two pics are the obverse and reverse of that magic coin...it...or rather they are used in a trick listed as "Scotch and Soda" on the internet, even a video as to how it works. The Ken is hollowed out and only has an obverse, and the Mexican peso coin has been ground to half thickness and attached to the back of a normal Ken. But in the case of this coin, someone goofed up on the trick and pushed the peso in upside down into the Ken shell...it is stuck...KT cannot get it out, although perhaps heating the Ken side and cooling the peso side would do to allow it to be removed...It is certainly a prize for KT's Oddities collection! Unless DirtyRob happens to read this post and decides he wants it...HA HA He got the other two double sided Ken magic coins KT found previously!
Anywho, enjoy the pics! KT got himself 3 nice silvers!
