MINDENMINES, Mo. (KODE) — People often find quarters in their pocket change or nightstand drawer. If you know what to look for, some of that change might be worth a lot more than its face value. Since most quarters share the same design (with the exception of the 50 State Quarters series), how do you identify those that are most valuable?To determine the value of a coin, such as the 1932 D Version Washington Quarter, many professional coin collectors say the best resources for coin/currency research are price guides, like Greysheet, — a well-known provider of numismatic information. And there's the popular online grading service, PCGS (Professional Coin Grading Service). But, if you're lucky enough to come across a 1932 minted, D-version quarter, other collecting professionals suggest you take a different approach to determine the current value of the coin. Are your old coins and bills valuable? Expert explains what to look for “Price guides will give you an idea of the value...Plane carrying comedian Gabriel Iglesias runs off runway in North Carolina

(NewsNation) – A former Florida sheriff’s deputy who was acquitted after being criminally tried for not doing enough to confront the Parkland school shooter says he “wouldn’t have done anything different.”Former Broward County Deputy Scot Peterson wept as he was found not guilty Thursday of felony child neglect and other charges related to failing to act during the Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School shooting in 2018.Prosecutors argued Peterson could have confronted shooter Nikolas Cruz and stopped the deaths of six of the 17 people who died. Peterson took cover, rather than run into the three-story building where the shootings unfolded.Peterson took cover in the alcove of a building for 40 minutes, long after other police officers stormed the building and the shooting ended, the Associated Press reported.
