44 and 57 cents in the last 1,000 from the bank.
about 200 pre 1980.
Haven't found anymore wide am's lately,,,, was on a roll there for awhile. Need to take about $80 worth back to the bank.... heavy.

I got a 1965 Kennedy.

Not to exciting, but a 1940-S Wheatie in very nice shape--from a coinstar bin in San Diego. (Also found a 2002 Canadian Penny in an OKC coinstar last night)

$1.53 Canadain from the CoinStar last night. Included a 1992 NorthWest Territories quarter that I didn't have.

Maybe it is my close proximity, but I swear the CoinStar at the local Kroger takes Canadian coins. I *know* I have ran a few through without any problems.

*cough* Are you sure Doc didn't get those coins you put in?

1966 washer in VF or so. Weird since it has a bit of hair detail, and I've seen SMS washers with no hair lines at all.

Yesterday at the grocery store I received 4 of the new 2005 Finn €2 commems. The cashier must have had a new roll of them!

1969 - D Kennedy Half at the bank

Found today, very, very shiney for a 1965.

Looks pretty fresh, decent AU-55 or so.

Yes, its much nicer in hand. My pics are lousy lately

I'm only 15 mins. from the boarder. A few Canadian cents will go thru now and then but for the most part its all rejected.

An unc roll of these:

An Arkansas quarter. Only my 3rd SQ from change.

Another 1000 cents:
46 / 56d / nice 74... that's it.
Brings total wheats found in circ. to over 3 rolls.
2 INC's
about 6-7 98/00 wide am's.
1 95 dd
and about 10 neat die varieties.
Pre 82 population still appears to be about 15-20%

I'll keep working on it then! I save every copper penny I get in change, have over 6,000 now!

The West Virginia state quarter.


I accidently spent it five minutes later....

Saw a bunch of wheaties while filling in for a teller at work, all common dates from the fifties, one 1941, but I passed and sent them to do their job in the nations commerce...

What if they get torchured by a future owner, how would you feel then?

1953-D cent. Probably Fine or so.

P Oregon Quarter

1938 Jefferson in Fine from change from Panera Bread in Oakland.

Got a 1936 Wheat cent in change last week.

This has been a word from your sponsor!

I got two cool ones in the same day:

Finland €0.20 2000 and 2003! Both have very low mintages.

I got a 1943 nickel. It looks like it is pretty good shape.

Picked this up today at the store along with a roll of Kansas P mint quarters.

a 2003 unc. U.S. $2 bill, part of an ebay payment of cash received today

'92 BC quarter. Haven't seen one for some time.

My Daughter is getting good at this. Today she brought me a 1934 Buffalo nickel with full date and 1/4 Balboa, Panama that she pulled from her cash drawer at ChuckE's. I got a Canadian Tombac out of the CoinStar this morning.

Friday I got a 1949 wheat cent and yesterday I got a 1945 wheat cent.

Those are pretty nice finds from circulation! Especially that tombac. The color alone makes that very different than circulating pieces.

Finn 2004 commem €2. It seems like there are some still out there.

Not really even a "good" find but a super nice 1997-D quarter. Either came out of an old bank roll recently or a mint set.

I did not find these myself, but my co-worker did. His band had a gig in Luxembourg over the weekend, so I asked him to pick me up whatever he comes across.

Cashed in $50 worth of accumulated searched cents a couple of weeks ago and got $10 back for searching. All (100%) were pre-82 coppers ; ). Must have been stashed in the back of the vault for awhile. About 15 wheaties and about 20 bright red and shiney. Pretty neat.

All were wrapped/taped in old rolls from a bank in Cinncin,,, how they got into a bank in Tn is beyond me.

Another goodie from my Daughters cash drawer at CEC. a 1950D Washington quarter, F-VF.

Some decent finds yesterday: Finland 2004!!! and 2005 €0.50, Luxembourg 2003 €0.05, and Belgium 2004 €0.02.

Couple of CoinStar wheaties, '34 & '40 plus 46 cents in Canadian.

A 2003 Finland €0.20, Luxembourg 2002 €0.50 with a small die break (will try to post a pic), and a new 2005 Spain €0.05 among others!

Last week I got a 2000-P Sacagawea $1 and a dateless wheat cent.

Received my first (several) 2006 US coin, a 1 cent piece !!!!

Hit the coin slot of the USA Today outside work today (this is a regular score for me, I get at least 1 quarter a week, usually more). Lo and behold, we have a winner. Tossed it into my pocket without checking. Got home, and went to toss it into my jar, checking it first, as I am gathering some SQ for a British trading friend. Not a state quarter , not a silver quarter, either . Not even a US quarter Yep a Canadian quarter. . Not a normal caribou quarter that I am used to seeing, but rather a 2005 Saskatchewan quarter . Which reminds me... one of the waiters got a Canadian $5 note for a tip, so swapped him for a US$5. He thinks he got the better end of that deal, but I got the hockey note, so I was happy.

Dad found a 10 cent Euro in the Coinstar. I told him about the finds people make and he checks them all the time now.

I received a 1993 $1 star note in change, from an Arby's in Albuquerque It is in "crinkled but crispy" shape. Good stuff.

Went through another 2000 cents from the bank. 5 wheats, oldest = a vf 29s, the rest were late 40's and 50's. No wide am's. no varieties. About 15% pre-82.

2006 zent

CoinStar finds this week...1961D Rosey, 1941 Wheaty and 2 sticky Mem's.

Today my daughter got 2 Buffalo nickels in her cash drawer, 1936 & 1937.
