  1. I haven't been collecting for very long and I only recall seeing last year when I'd check my change a 1954 Nickel. Ho hum.
  2. My 2007 American Eagle Silver Proof coin finally arrived from the US Mint after waiting 2 months.
  3. Neat, where'd you get them back from or what kind of store was it that game those back to you in change?
  4. Well, it's a little far for me (Chicagoland area), so I wont be making it down there anytime soon. Sounds like a fun place though.
  5. Where is this bulk silver bin you speak of and how can I get my hand into it? Nice coins by the way!
  6. I was a little hesitant to commit to that in writing because currently I have a ton of quarters in change that I need to spend. (They are non 50 State Quarters leftover from rolls from the bank). So I don't know what I'll do with that many pennies . I just found out that my bank has rolls of halves so that may be my next venture when I spend more of my $1 dollar coins. I see where this is going, I will eventually bury myself in so much coinage that I'll be trapped and eventually flattened by the weight of it all!
  7. Hmmm, I might have to try picking up rolls of pennies sometime and see if I come up with anything.
  8. Interesting. When I was a cashier I was given wrapped rolls of coins at the beginning of every shift to be placed in my register drawer and I don't recall ever getting Canadian coinage in there. Once or twice I was given Canadian coinage from a customer and took it, but never in wrapped rolls. Oh, well I guess it happens as proof from 3 posts above.
  9. You got Canadian coins wrapped in your US box of pennies?
  10. I received a bicentennial quarter in change today after spending some presidential dollars. Also, got a Texas state quarter from the same purchase.
  11. Interesting, thanks for sharing! I didn't realize that about the 1999+ quarters.
  12. WOW, that really is good detail!
  13. I made the same mistake in the Coin Idol forum this week, but instead I took a king for a witch!
  14. I just insulted royalty....but seriously it's an unusual look. Thanks!
  15. That bottom portrait is a bit unusual to me. It looks like the woman is either poor or sickly. Do you know anything about this particular bill?
  16. As I was reading on here more and more about coins this very thing occurred to me as how the US Mint continuously produces millions and millions of coins each year while we can still find in circulation coins from 50+ years ago? Interesting to hear Canada doing this.
  17. I think $35 for a penny is great. If you don't want it I'll give you my address and you can send it to me!
  18. Oh, so it's due to the fact that it is missing it's mint mark then?
  19. Which part of the coin are you referring to? I am just trying to understand what you are seeing that I am not?
  20. It seems from what I've been reading coins pretty much stay in circulation forever, that is until they are melted down for other uses or removed from circulation by a collector. So I was curious if in the US Mint's eyes do coins have a "useful life expectancy" in which the mint can actively remove old coinage from circulation and melt it down for new? I was also curious if there has ever been legislation in the past requiring the removal of old circulating currency when new currency came out? Thanks!
  21. I keep spare change in my car and today I noticed among the rest of my coins was a 1958-D Wheat penny. I decided to polish the coin for my own amusement (I've never actually cleaned a coin before, being new to the hobby). Strangely enough it was kind of relaxing and I was excited to see a 50 year old penny shine again! Edited to Add: Oh, and I got a 2005 Buffalo Westward Journey Nickel in change this evening from one of the express checkout machines at my local supermarket, I had fun cleaning that too!
  22. It's part of my nightly ritual before going to bed! I strongly suggest you all try it. You never know what you may find!
