Unless we are talking about your weiner, then they are the same.

That was just weird.

Mint condition and uncirculated are two very different things.

Apparently it had some printing flaws which might make it more valuable.

We would occasionally get silver coins like quarter and half dollars as well as full dollar coins, silver certificates and, once, a gold certificate from kids in the school cafeteria. I tried to intercept them before they got to to the cafeteria.

I also always figured the kids had either done a B&E or got into MeeMaw's jewelry box.

Back in the early 80's I was a young lad working a register at an auto parts store in Waldorf, I had a somewhat disheveled looking middle aged lady come in two days in a row with sequential serial #'d One Dollar Silver Certificates. I never saw her before or after. They looked mint to me so I put my regular dollar bills in the register and took them to the old Bob-Lu's where the owner traded old money/coins. I thought I would strike it rich. He offered me $1.25 for each. I declined, but they were later accepted at Meades Liquor Store on 925 for an underage purchase of a case of Schlitz Pony bottles.

I was given two quarters in change last year by the bartender at our Eagles, the quarters made a ringing noise when she put them on the bar. I instantly asked where those came from and she said I just opened a new roll. I asked her to sell me those that are left.
I traded for 9.50 in 1959 silver quarters. Others are the bar were pissed, when I started laughing.
Another member owns two laundry mats and he gets silver and old money all the time.

I knew a guy in Europe that serviced video games. He always had a bunch of non standard coins. His boss only wanted the current coins, so he gave me the odd balls. I even scored a 1862 baiocchi. Some kid must have found it in a drawer at home and took it to the video arcade.

Is it worth more or less than a 2018 Bukkake?

I would bet the video gaming industry still gets lots of silver.

I mean really, Wanna guess what we draw when we have a clean wall and a Sharpie?

Stupidity, maybe?

Or desperation.

My mom once was so hard up for cash while my dad was deployed, she burned through
almost all of his coin collection, spending silver coins for face value.
