ARTICLE: WOMAN USES "RARE" COINS FOR PURCHASE
R.V. Dewey forwarded this article from the Lancaster, PA
area. It's always interesting to see what the general public thinks of as
"rare" coins. -Editor
Lancaster state police in Pennsylvania are
looking for a woman who used rare and unusual coins to pay for cigarettes
at a Turkey Hill market, WGAL reported.The woman used a 1964 silver half-dollar, a silver dime, four mercury dimes, three Indian head nickels, three other rare nickels, a wheat penny and three silver foreign coins, troopers said.
"It's not a crime to present old coins to buy something at a store, but we would be interested to know if in fact the coins came from a theft or burglary or simply owned by an individual who wanted to get rid of them," said Cpl. John Duby of the Pennsylvania State Police.
