Hey coin people, I found my first Presidential $1 coin with TJ on it today! Got it in change at the pizzeria across from where I work in midtown Manhattan. Looks like the banks don't all pay much attention to the instructions about release dates - US Mint web site says the coin isn't coming out until next Thursday...

It's a P mint mark, nice strong edge lettering.

I picked up three rolls on the 16th and shared many of them as singles in an exchange at my local coin club meeting that night. I picked up an additional roll on the 18th to exchange for a Philly roll with a trader from that area. This one is the best portrait so far, IMO, but the quality of coins in the rolls hasn't improved at all over the past two other issues.

Hey Gary see if you can locate a few loose uncs. for this old Hoosier as our banks absolutely NEVER call out new coins. I am sure we can work something out to compensate for your efforts!!!

I've been spending the Jefferson Dollars all over town.

Most clerks haven't been surprised, but they do look closely at them before putting them in the till.
