Not my find, but my wife's - 1992 10p from Great Britain, a large quarter sized coin that apparently was masquerading as a quarter. This is the second British coin we have gotten in the past few months, the other was a 20p masquerading as a nickel.

Very cool!

Your signature says you got married on Saturday. Congrats! I hope it all went well and you are in a happy, healthy relationship that'll last your lifetimes!
PS. I'm also glad to see CoinPeople is worth a few moments of your time on such a big big day.

1994 -- Appears to be a "struck-through" -- found in a jar of cents.

Received this in change at Cloverdale Paints when purchasing paint rollers. A few scratches but lots of lustre, the reverse is much nicer than obverse.

Silver lining in the change is never a bad thing.

At last I have found my first 2007 coin in circulation, the 5p. Although not an particulary interesting coin I'm glad to finally get a 2007 release seeing as this coin (along with the 1,2,10,20 & 50p) coins are to have new designs next year.
Image to follow, although i'm sure everyone knows what the current 5p coin looks like

This was a shocker, then again, it's also corroded and mushy looking, but found in a register non-the-less.
1911 Liberty Head "V" Nickel.

You guys have to hate me after this week, lol. I found a rim clipped 1909 wheatback, no VDB, no S, but a 09, and clipped, and in change! This is interesting though, the clip looks like a knock on the front, but on the reverse the rim is complete, but missing part of the INSIDE rim, very strange.

It has been mighty lean with regard to circulation finds for me. At the Post Office, I put in my $20.20 for 20 'forever' stamps and got back: 1 79 SBA, 1 Sac, 2 GWs and 8 of these.
I also received 2 GWs from a Good Humor ice cream machine that only accepted nickel, dime and quarter coins. I have yet to get a PrezBuck in common change, but I have not had much resistance spending them.

Can't believe I forgot to post here a few weeks ago!
All at once, while an elementary school was at the skating rink, I got a 1955 quarter, 2003-D Sac (never saw anything past 2001 until then), and a 1978 Deutschmark.

I got a colorized 2006 commemorative with Santa and his reindeer in (My dads

I suppose they could be, but in the book its "nickel plated steel", and it dosen't look much like silver. Oh well, its off to the coin shop to day to sell, to fund some older, nicer coins!

7-7-07 was a heck of a lucky day.
I finally found my first web-press note after searching through more than $30,000 in $1 notes over the last 2 months.
It's not a nice one, but it IS one! Whoo hoo! The odd part is I knew there was something odd about it even before I saw it was a web-press. The color is much thinner, and the note has no embossing at all, it looked out of place, and it certainly was!

Awesome Roaddevil, what year is your note? 1988-A appears to be the rarest in nice shape because hardly anyone knew about them back then, so most got into circulation. I'm glad I had a hand in helping your collection! Lol!

1993

r there any after 1995

cause the site says "Web notes were produced in the following series: 1988A, 1993, & 1995."
Vfox
Jul 8 2007, 08:17 AM
1995 was the last year they produced them before they sold the multi million dollar web presses for scrap metal. Got to love the way the US handles failure, eh? Lol.

Well, if I have any, they would likely be in consecutive groups since that's all I have of those years.
Vfox
Jul 8 2007, 04:55 PM
Oh yeah, I thought about doing that, but then again I really only hoard non-US notes, so I just get one nice example of each. Btw, I lost 4 more auctions for a Au+ green eagle this week, woot.

I am looking at several online now, but I am probably going to lose those too, lol.

Probably because she was upset that she hadn't noticed that she had given you one.
