1948 Lincoln and 1953 Canadian 1¢ in change at the PO today.

My Master, whoops I mean my wife got a 1952-S in change. Nice to get a wheat, but an S mint to boot.

Glad to see you have managed to get the titles in your relationship right!

After 11 years I have finally in this last year realised I am nothing to her Majesty. It is just easier that way, she is right, even if... well forget about it.

Ahh ya must be something After all she still puts up with ya!

I see you have learned the "path of least resistance". Very good, grasshopper.

I saw a quarter on my desk with a deeper relief than normal around the "In God We Trust" on the obverse. I looked at it and it was a 1964! I haven't found a silver coin, let alone a quarter, in quite a while! Woo!

A 1970 was nearby too. Must've gotten them through some toll booth... good thing I don't have an EZ Pass

^^ Gotta love that feeling!!

well last night i went to my girlies house and she was talking about a blind man coming into wendys and spending a very weird shiny penny. she saw it immedently and asked him if he was sure he wanted to spend it ,he said adruptly if it aint from 2007 i dont want it! she said ok and put it in her pocket and put another penny in the till. it was a 1957d wheatie nothing special but its in AU condition and is now in my book i think i might be getting her into collecting!!

1949 nickel and a 1957-D wheatie.

My daughter pulled one of these out of a machine at ChuckEcheese.



Im too lazy to scan it.

Cool find!

A couple of wheaties, including this one.

Found some super nice cents in 10 rolls I bought today - among them BU 1972-D, 1973-D, and 1976-D, and a pretty purply-toned 1981.

I found a Slovenia 1 euro yesterday! Now I need to add a new page in my euro collection folder.

Someone jammed one of the games at work with what they thought was a token but what really was a 50 Euro Cent from Germany. Mine!

1968 50% silver quarter!

What I like most about jeff. nickels: You can tell from a mile away if they're of numismatic interest. Usually you can tell a war nickel or a pre-1964 nickel from the high relief, the wear pattern, or the toning.

I saw one sitting in my dad's pocket change. I knew it was special, picked it up and was a little sad it was a 1969. But happy to see the "S" under the date!

I always treasure an san fran. minted coin I find in circulation. Cool beans.

You sure that wasnt a half dollar

I am part of the cent project so I just sorted thru 5000 cents. Found
1919, 1930D, 16 other 40's-50's wheaties (wow, they are getting harder to find)
17 S mint cents and a couple of BU 60's. 6 canadian cents and one cool but mystifying token on which the words translate into memory of marriage with the basillica de guadalupe on it. Looked it up real quick and apparently the groom gives the bride these Arras tokens

Upgraded my "circulation" cent collection, added to exonumia collection

He is in Canada, the 1968 25¢ coins were .500 fine, and then nickel later in the year. Whilst I still get Georgian coins, ie cents in change from time to time, I have never gotten silver Canadians.

Not all of the 1968s were .500 silver, but it is pretty rare to find one that is anymore. Nice find.

OOPS! My Bad.

Got a 1948 nickel playing poker with some buddies the other night, of course I lost about $30 playing cards to get it!

Ganked a 2007 Canadian dime out of the till, if only because it's worth more than a US dime nowadays!

1959-D Lincoln in AU or so, still nice and red out of the U-Scan at Meijers.

today i was counting my money and i found a star note!! the second one since june!! its a 2003 series G05713991* hehe ade my day!

It has finally happened!
My hubby gave me four Lincolns this morning.
Now, remembering what I said about turning in 278 rolls of Lincolns to our bank?
I got at least three of them back in his change. There are two 69s bu Lincolns that I bought in rolls and have searched thoroughly, and decided to recycle the ones that did not meet my criteria for collectables.

Living in a small town it was bound to happen. But so quickly?

Oh, and yesterday, due to Dustin's star note mention, I checked my wallet, and voila! I had a 2003 series star note L00868588*. Now I know what to look for. Thanks Dustin.

Not really a circulation find I guess, but tonight I pulled out a book from my bookcase to read at dinner, and $8 dropped out of the book. They are all older notes, series 1963A and 1977. Have no idea why they were in the book, or for how long. The book was my Grandmothers and maybe she saved them, have no idea. Haven't seen one of the old style fivers in a while now.

Woohoo! A 1980-S SBA and a 2004-P Sac without even trying.

pretty cool find actually. i saw it in a tip jar, asked to exchange it for a $20 bill. It was a double eagle. the glint of gold was distinctive of course, even if it was really really dull and worn. I can barely read the date. I'd guess 1930something. maybe 33.

meh. whatever. its probably just worth melt.

WHAT? "Oh, I only paid $20 for $850 in gold..."

Whatareyagonnadowithit?

I think he is pulling our legs.

1947 Jefferson

Dammit. Didn't see "maybe 33".

But now I vow to find me a double eagle in change...

lol. Took you long enough. I was begining to think you reverted to "noob"ism and didn't understand the significance of a 1933 $20, let alone ANY 1930 gold coin

Not all 1930s gold is rare, just look at the 1932 eagle, common as can be! Today I fould a 1939 nickel in change.

Yesterday a 1944 cent, today a 1939 sitting in a take a penny leave a penny tray in a Mexican restaurant, curiously the 1939 cent had been rubbed by the date to see what the date was, but they spent it anyway.

With all the attention that the 1933 $20's get, people neglect that the coins were also minted in 1929-1932 were minted in larger numbers but never released for circulation, all that exist today were purchased over the counter at the mint. Now a BU $20 from those years starts at $20K.

My sister-in-law brought me a dateless buffalo nickel that she got as part of the payment at the store she works at. A nice find for me.

Exactly what I meant. I think one of the date/mint $20 issues is actually rarer than the 1933 issue (assuming there are a dozen or so as suspected) because of the melting during the depression. Looks like its the 1927-D that only has 6 or 7.

The 27-D is arguably the rarest Saint now that more than a dozen 33s are known. In general 1929-33 are rarer gold coins (remember 1933 Indian $10 have always been legal to own, though expensive), though it is not universal. In general for $20 they are all rare, for $10, the 1932 is common, the 30-S and 33 are rare (none were minted from 1927-29), for $5 and $2.50, they only date minted in that span was 1929, and both of those are fairly common.

I have noticed an occasional 1931 or 1932 Saint on Heritage, I would love to have one, but my lovely wife would kill me if I blew 100K on a coin.

Heck, forget the 31 or 32, for that money you could by a 29 and 30-S on the virtual bourse right now!

Oh, yeah, at only half the price of the 1932, bargains

I think I better stick to my avatar coin for right now, that is my 2008 PCI entry for Commems.

1967 Kennedy that I spied in the coin tray at the bank this morning. First silver in a few months. Yesterday I bought a box of 2500 cents and came up with the following:

1941 x 2
1942
1944
1945-D
1945
1946
1947
1950
1951-D x 2
1955-D
1956 red uncirculated
1956-D
1957-D x 2

1969-S
1971-S
1972-S

Canada
GVI 1952

16 Wheats in the box was not a bad haul, nothing too exciting, but the last time I sorted through a box I only found 4 Wheats.

I got a 1946 nickel last week.

I know it's not much but I still love it when I get one of these in change.

I found a 1949 GVI Canadian nickel on top of the pop machine at work.
I often find coins(that the machine rejected) on top of the machines.
