Cracked open two more rolls of pennies.
Roll #1 - Two wheaties from the 40's
Roll #2 - BU 1971 D, wheatie from 20's and one from the 40's.
Two silver Kennedy's in change.
8 Silver Rosies

Not a bad week. Going through coin rolls is fun and passes the time between classes. I get enough stares at the library because of it.

1964 Silver Roosevelt in change today. XF condition

Not exactly circulation...more like 5 inches down in a local park.

Nice find Dock. I take it you were using a metal detetor. I think that would be fun. Too bad I can't afford one right now... Saving for Ipod Nano, and of course that beautiful 1908S IHC at the coin shop...

I've never actually seen a mintmarked IHC (well, there's only two dates...)

1970 Quarter Dollar
It's a notable find because the top of the head is so warn down it now looks more like Gavin Macleod then George Washington.

Nothing good in the last couple of weeks, but since early summer:

> '63 Roosie and '62 Washington, both VF, from the change box for the office coffee fund

> '40 nickel, maybe in F

> Three war nickels: a '43-P and '45-P, both VG, and another very worn '45-P, AG at best

The war nickels all came from an automated change dispenser at a local supermarket so I assume someone must have dumped them, either accidentally or on purpose.

Received a 43S war nickel in change yesterday.

Nothing

This one was only 3 inches down, same park.

Done well with wheats this week, a 1947 again, and 1951. The 1951 actually was handed to me with the rest of a payment from a customer, I saw the wheat stalks when it was in the customers hand.

1919 wheatie from the Chevron gas station in Chilliwack

I got a 1918 from a Chevron in California once, I think it is my earliest coin ever from circulation. On that trip, about 2 weeks, I came back with several early Jeffersons, a silver dime, and several wheaties.

I worked for Chevron for 7 yrs so I think they owed me

A Maine quarter. (Only the second SQ I've got in change)

How about 5 bi sentinial Quarters and 3 1940ish nickles.

My daughter Got an Ocean View nickel in her cash drawer. At first she set it aside as Canadian but brought it to me when she checked it closer. First I've seen in circulation.

Silver Quarter 1960
nothing else

about a month ago i got an 1899 indian head penny.
3 months ago i was metal detecting up in some small town in the hills and I stopped off to buy a soda and the lady gave me back 2 mercs, so I asked her if I could get some more change. I ended up with 9 mercs and 2 silver rosies....i have been back since but no luck...I even asked her to check her quarters.

UNC 2004 "A" German 1 cent

Got a couple of Rupees out of the CoinStar today.

1962 Quarter from the vending machine. Nothing special other than its silver.

Strange how the machines give them out as change but won't take them...same thing with Canadian coins.

I've never had a problem using Canadian coins with machines whether it be arcade or washing machines. Odd isn't it.

Went to a coin shop today and bought a Coins magazine. Got back a bicentennial $0.50. The guy said they give out coins like that to gain more interest in the hobby.

I have also received some interesting coins in change from coin shops. I always thought that it resulted from them buying collections and separating the coins that they would not be able to sell. Same effect, I guess, but slightly different motivation - who knows.

Being a border town all the machines here are set to reject Canadain coins. Otherwise they would lose money because everyone would use them to get the "discount". Only place that I know takes them at par are the toll baskets on the Thru-way.

Probably because it doesn't use a "4-2" (?) changer. Ie. the coins taken in go to a collection at the bottom, and the coins dispensed in changed are from a different source.

A look at the past two week's change:

Canada 1c 1944
US 1c 1939S

After searching through eight rolls of nickels, I filled about ten holes and upgraded a few also.

I have a Peter McAusland Token, a private token from Newfoundland Canada. Just wondering if anyone knew of any collectors of rare private tokens.

I got a 1941 penny at the gas station yesterday.

Latest detector find........

Got my first one in change yesterday...

Another OIV nickel, 2 Kansas quarters and topped it off by diggin' a '57 Rosey!

Ten Centavos, Colombia 1967

This coin fell out of my pocket somewhere in the Buffalo NY area when I was there last year. Please send back:)

A few days ago I got two of these in change at the coin store - both loaded with luster.


Today, I received this wheatie in change.


Not a bad circulation week.

1972-D and 1974 Ike Dollars from the Bank, first I had seen in a few months.

Got these out of some rolls from my bank on Monday. All of the Quarters were in the same roll.

That's got to be fun!

Gadzooks! The last time I got a silver quarter in change it was 1995! Though today I got a Kansas quarter and a 1957 nickel in change from lunch.

Nothing special but today I got a BU '96 Canadian Nickel.

A co-worker of mine went to New York for a week vacation over the summer. He received a 1944 quarter in change!

-Bobby

That was a massively nice roll of quarters!

well, had to sort and count over 10,000 coins, so the odds are there is some intersting stuff in it. I didn't expect the 2 euro commemcs tho...

Oregon P mint,

1953 & 1961 Silver Roosevelt dimes from a co-workers coin tray.

I got a 1941 Nickle.

From my daughters cash drawer at CEC......
