    Why go to Walmart on Black Friday?

    Hello to all my LCR friends. I sincerely hope you all had a great Thanksgiving. I had a well needed great day with my family. It was a great day.
    I cringe each time I think of those folks who brave Black Friday to go shopping. I just sit at home where the only one I would be fighting with is myself

    Anyway, my daughter is one of those Black Friday battler's. Unfortunately, her car broke down, and her hubby was at home with the kids. Guess who gets the call to help? Daddy is always there for her. I get to the store, try to find her car for half an hour, and find out it is a fuse. I go into Walmart to buy the 50 cent part, and wait almost 35 minutes to check out. When I finally got my change, I did what I always do, and look it over. When I saw what I had got, I almost ran out to my truck to get my loupe. Here is the newest addition to the Piazza collection. believe it or not...this is my first one found...ever! Not bad getting a semi-key date in decent condition on Black Friday...

        See Bob, good dads do get some pay back. Happy for you. Nice coin, and hours of searching would have come short of that find.

        God's Blessing to you and all LCR Members.

                  What a beautiful find! That ALMOST makes it worth stepping into that mad house. Good for you to be there for your family however, and your reward was justly deserved!

                        When a good turn is done it usually gets rewarded but that was certainly unexpected. That one is not that easy to find in pocket change. Congrats on your find.

                              brings back a xmas memory from last year

                              that was the time i got some mans stash he cashed in at my bank no keys or nothing but a few doubled dies and rpms got some early dates all for face no hole fillers in my at the time very partial set anyway i rewarded my bank with candy canes and they had another bag of more of the same so at face value i easily doubled my hoard and my reward was in return for doing something i didnt have to do got me remembered for any loose goodies my tellers had found after these bags wish i had not moved away from these guys i have to rebuild a relationship with new tellers but im willing to do that i guess what im trying to get across here is every act of kindness initiated by you or your bank if you react with kindness or show kindness youll be rewarded this also works with everyday people so spread the love and youll recieve it in return
