The Ambitious Search Through Now 17500 Cents

[Scottishmoney]

I searched through 7 $25.00 boxes of cents, with the cooperation and even

some encouragement from several of my local banks tellers over the last 4

days. Cent boxes are getting a bit hard to find now, I do know I have

competition for them, so now you have to get in good with the tellers(one of

them collects coins, so I sell her goodies at face to save stuff for me)

 

So for 4 days of sifting through cents I came up with the following:

1973 Lincoln cent that appears to be struck in another metal, not magnetic, and if it is plated it was skillfully done, because it appears to have original mint lustre still.

 

6 cupronickel Roosevelt dimes masquerading as cents in hand rolled rolls.

1976 with approximately 10% clip at 1:00 o'clock.

 

FRANCE

2 €urocent dated 1999

 

 

On Saturday I returned the Zincolns to the bank coin machine, and the total payback came to something like $36.72 so the teller gave me the 72¢ in change. This would become the best find of all, a 1945 Washington quarter, in silver of course. I asked if she had anymore like it but alas no.

 

I love living somewhere where it is possible to get 92 year old coins in circulation.
