jtryka Posted June 1, 2006 Report Share Posted June 1, 2006 If it has a green seal, it is most likely a worn series 1988 (small size $1 FRNs weren't issued until the 1960s). Yesterday I got a 1940 nickel and a 1959-D cent at lunch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tiffibunny Posted June 1, 2006 Report Share Posted June 1, 2006 I got 2 Nebraska Quarters looked to be in MS condition from the gas station a few days ago, the guy must have just broke a roll. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yesterday I got a 1940 nickel and a 1959-D cent at lunch. Yeah I went to my dealer today, and remembered it was in my wallet, he said it looks like someone restamped a 3 where a 8 once was. He also said the only made series 1935 and didnt make anything else until series 1957...both silver certificates. Interesting though...it'll be spent shortly, maybe someone here will find it lol.

daggit Posted June 2, 2006 Report Share Posted June 2, 2006 I didn't get this in circulation but my sister did and passed it on to me, a Great Britain 1887 one shilling. Guess they thought it was a quarter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vfox Posted June 3, 2006 Report Share Posted June 3, 2006 I got my first East Caribbean States quarter of 2002 out of circulation today. Really nifty boat on the back of it, it was mixed in with the normal US quarters in my till. Au/Unc, nice coin. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scottishmoney Posted June 4, 2006 Report Share Posted June 4, 2006 Yesterday was a good day for change, a 1943-S Jefferson, a 1947 Jefferson, and a 1946 cent. The 43-S is worse for where, but at least I have 50¢ worth of silver. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vfox Posted June 11, 2006 Report Share Posted June 11, 2006 I forget what this error is called, neat though. A nifty lil dime. Basically one end is over twice as thick as the other. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cladking Posted June 17, 2006 Report Share Posted June 17, 2006 The uneven rim on the dime is caused by a misaligned die. Usually the hammer die isn't straight in the press. For these modern dimes that usually means one of the four movin dies on a horizontal quad press is misaligned. I got a nice well, stuck slider unc 1974 quarter last week. This is a spectacular find on a few levels but just finding a well struck coin of this date is a little unusual. It's probably from a mint set but thee's no way to know.

jtryka Posted June 17, 2006 Report Share Posted June 17, 2006 Yesterday I got an unc. 1984-D quarter that quickly upgraded my former specimen in the whitman. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rotten Rodney Posted June 19, 2006 Report Share Posted June 19, 2006 I found a 1945 S Nickle yesterday and 2 1938 nickles on Friday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vfox Posted June 24, 2006 Report Share Posted June 24, 2006 Okay, not circulation finds, but what I found with my metal detector today! A few cents, and a dime from the 80's/90's and a 100+ year old sleigh bell! Whoo! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
28Plain Posted June 25, 2006 Report Share Posted June 25, 2006 Well, the bell is slammin'. It kinda makes up for the coins. ;-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cojaro Posted June 28, 2006 Report Share Posted June 28, 2006 in the past 3 months I've found about 6 1950's nickels, and a 1983 1cent that's all red, looks UNC. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NewCoin Posted June 29, 2006 Report Share Posted June 29, 2006 I had place my change on the sink counter. It had been laying there several days when I noticed a very cherry 1999 nickle! Beautiful! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vfox Posted June 29, 2006 Report Share Posted June 29, 2006 This was an odd one for the US, but I got a 1 cent euro today...which is smaller than a US cent, but still circulated a bit here. I'm not sure of the country....has a theatre mask on the back or something...maybe france? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
