A Crook's loss

[Cheap Thrills]

The M6 scored well in 3hrs. of dirt and wood chips yesterday . $5.59 , a 1957 Canadian Nickel and a bit of trash.
I found my second Dollar coin of the year also .The most unusual find was a quarter carefully drilled for weight distribution with a piece of yarn attached . I had no idea this was a retrievable coin designed in this way to be used to rip off vending machines until I was told by a fellow on another forum .I don't know which I like better this Crook's quarter or the two-headed quarter I got in a coin roll a few years back . :thinkingabout:

That drilled coin is different for sure,looks more like one of those twirly twine toys that you get it spinning and pull in and out on the strings to make a buzzing noise,all of the crook coins i have seen only have one hole and a piece of monofilament line attached,not that i have ever used one of them :grin:,you sure busted the clad on that hunt for sure,keep them coming,Dave

I just can't believe some one would try to rip off a vending machine
Cool finds!

 

[russellt]

well thats a good hunt . you just never know what you might find

 

[mike l]

Cool find :yes:

 

[zrickkid]

If a machine takes in money and gives out goods you can be sure someone will try to rip it off. That crook probably made a new one right after that one was lost. >:\
