I found another 2004 Finland €2 commem.

Been doing lots of halves roll searches.

Recent finds include 6 Walkers, 11 Franklins, 5 90% JFKs, 12 40% JFKs (only one 1965, most 67 or 68-D).

My mother called me excitedly from her vacation, telling me she got a star note in change. 1995 B 0000 2835 *. First 4-digit star for me, and a new lowest serial number (previous was a B 0000 3004 D).

More rolls of halves on Tuesday. Is it wierd that I'm excited about it?

John

Heck, no. I remember one roll in particular in '79 or '80 that had one Franklin, five 90% Kennedys, and the balance 40% Kennedys--one roll, all silver. The only thing that could be better would be to make that hit now.

Where is everyone getting all of these rolls of halves? Most of the banks around me look at me funny when I ask if they have any. Then they try strong arm push the Sac dollars on me! I'd consider driving to a small town with an old bank if I knew they'd have some good rolls of Kennedy halves.

Actually, I get all of my halves from one of the larger bank chains. The key is to find the bank in the area that is the main distribution point for the other banks. The one branch bank near where I work serves several banks in the area. They order $1000 in halves every week or two.

I was going in so often they pointed out they could order a box ($500) for me if I wanted to.

Tomorrow I find out if the box finds are better than their normal delivery.

It's been a real dry spell but I retired these two tired warriors from lunch change today.

You know, I do like the look of a well-worn Jeff. I think it's because it's a coin that has been out there serving its purpose.

Of course, I have a tube or two of those well-worn Jeffs, so I've been known to decide they're done serving their purpose, too!

I must have almost a dollar's worth of 1940s, but that 51-D is a nice find!

More halves tomorrow!

I found yesterday a Us. state quarter (New Hampshire) in my pocket change. Perhaps not so exciting you may think, but this happened were I live, in Sweden. It must have been misstaken for a swedish 1 krona coin although they differ somewhat. It has some signs of circulation, so it might have passed some hands in Sweden before I got it. As it is a missing piece in my state quarter collection I have singled it out for keeping.

A first for me today: I actually passed up on keeping last year's €2 Finn commem. I have plenty already. However, I did get an Italian 2003 €0.10 and a Finland 2003 €0.50.

Got this 1934 Series D note from a toll both attendant this month.....I was quite shocked to say the least

The $10 note is a superb change find. Good going!!

@ $10

2001-P UNC (maybe BU) Sac in change from a stamp machine. Decided what the hey, I'll get some $1 coins for the heck of it while I'm buying stamps. Most of the Sacs I see have a dark, dirty look to them. This looks like those found in mint sets.

It went directly into my type album!

2005 Belgium 2€ commem

Found a 1958 D Wheatie in change from the Dollar Tree today.

Hah! Got one of my periodic rolls of dollars, came out with five 2001Ps, three 2000Ds, and a very sharp 80D. Heck, I was just glad to see something that wasn't 2000P or 1979!

1937 Wheaty in the CoinStar.

Someone dumped their change hoard recently. Patrick went to McDonalds and got back a 65 Washer, a bicent (which I quickly snatched), and a 74 Roosie.

Not a thing worth mentioning. I haven't even been getting SQs in change this past week - clad Washers only. ???? So what's that all about?

Got two drummer boy quarters from the vending machine at work yesterday. And an entire roll of '65 quarters from the bank the other day...

Guess somebody cashed in their stash...

Got a 1993 C-note a few months ago and have kept it in the back of the cash stack ever since. It's just kind of comforting to see the old style hundred from earlier days.

1950 wheat cent in change on Friday

I received Finnish 2005 €2 commem in change.That was my first commem in looong time.

1979 d Susan B. Anthony dollar (Actually asked for it from the clerk. ) with die by stars on right side obverse.

That's a great die break. Definitely a keeper.

Been going thru all my change recently, hoping to find more modern errors and faults. I've got a stack of state quarters heading thru next. Did a fast check, nope , no extra leaf wisconsins.

Found a great Nevada quarter today. It will be going in my Type Set later tonight. Obverse is a bit marked up but the reverse.......oh my is she beautiful.

Found a '43 steel wheaty in the CoinStar today.

Way cool find Doc!! Rare enough to find a wheat nowadays, that find is a steel

I recieved a 2006 Jefferson nickel in the change from Del Taco last night.

-Bobby

Woo! Just retired a '47 Jefferson to a well-deserved rest.

Pulled a UNC 1989-D Kennedy from a roll last night. Just a few bag marks is all.

Got a 1946-D US 5c at LAX today. It is in roughly XF shape. That is about as exciting as it has gotten lately.

to make a little correction- star notes are separate series that are printed, and used to replace bills that have mistakes which are noticed. They are not reprinted with the same serial number with the star added. However, at times bills would be reprinted with the same serial numbers, but these replacements were not star bills.

I got a 66 67 and 2 68 Unc kennedy halves last night at work, and a 51-D rosey (F-VF). Good haul for one day haha.

My latest find is a 1964D DDR Dime

Some nice circulation finds.

I've been blessed by the silver gods I think lol!

Last night at work (grocery store) I was getting quarter rolls for the registers and I noticed a silver quarter in the one. (These are the plastic "coin condoms" not the paper wrappers) Anyway all said and done in about 12 rolls I got 5.25 face value 43-64 silver quarters, 4 buffalo nickels, 4 war jeffys, and 10 40's-64 jeffys! I would say that is pretty good for one night wouldn't you?!

I got some 1960's dated Japanese coinage, ie years 35-40 of the Showa era when I was in Japan. Not really exciting but after getting mostly new coins, I was kind of excited to get older stuff from when the Yen was practically worthless.

WOW

I s#!t you not, I just got $8USD worth of 64-69 JFK Halves in change, from a cash drawer at a Viet Pho noodle place in Houston. I paid in cash and when the drawer opened I saw a whole till area full of halves and said I would take some in change. Turns out they were all Silver!!!!

What a great day. I used to get some now and then when I worked in a grocery store during my undergrad college years, but 16 coins is my biggest circ find yet.

Ciao, and Hook 'em Horns,
Capt-AWACS, Watching you from 30,000 feet (for the government...)

wow, couldn't you get more?

Good week for coin finds!

I got the entire lot of 16 from the drawer. She said someone had come in and "paid with those" and she wanted to get rid of them. Bingo!

Ciao, and Hook 'em Horns,
Capt-AWACS, More Cowbell Please

Got a slick buff out of ten rolls of nickels i got from the bank a few days ago. Woo.....hoo. Other than that, a few more drummer boy quarters to add to the hoard in the last couple weeks...that's about it.

for the silver guys up there...AWESOME!

I got this no-ear Lincoln back in change today.

My son got a '36S buff in his change last weekend. He passed it on to dad...good son.

Great finds. It really makes me want to do some rolls.

BU 2001 Kennedy with a nice clashed die.

That's a good catch. The clash is really obvious.

2001 Bahamas One cent in todays change from Chili's.
