Dads Stuff Posted July 2, 2006 Report Share Posted July 2, 2006 My granddaughter and a couple of her friends have been saving loose change in hopes of taking a road trip this summer. I've been "mining/scavenging" in a couple of gallon collection jars. I have found a few pieces of silver, nothing spectacular, but more than I anticipated. Here's what I found: One of these days, I'll go through the rest of the jars (2 more). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Capt-AWACS Posted July 2, 2006 Report Share Posted July 2, 2006 Hmm, In Houston? I had spent two rolls of Ikes in the States, and in Houston (during the floods) I probably spent 12-15 around town, mainly downtown Ciao, and Hook 'em Horns, Capt-AWACS, Paris, the Beirut of Europe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Stilson Posted July 2, 2006 Report Share Posted July 2, 2006 Yep, in Houston at a desert place by the Galleria. You don't see ikes running around very much any more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Capt-AWACS Posted July 2, 2006 Report Share Posted July 2, 2006 Cool, I tipped one or two near the Galleria mainly at some Greek places where my friend belly-dances on Tues/Fri night. Usually when I spend them folks keep them or take them out of the cash drawer at once. I can get them for about $1.15 a piece at a place in Oklahoma so it is worth the 15cent markup to see the looks on peoples faces. Europeans love them. Funny thing is I never want to spend wheat cents but love spending Ikes.

Vfox Posted July 4, 2006 Report Share Posted July 4, 2006 Found a 1989-P nickel. I think it's full steps although it may be partial, but it's a nice partial steps regardless, nice upgrade from my change. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vfox Posted July 10, 2006 Report Share Posted July 10, 2006 Okay, I have very little idea of what this is, or how old it is, but today in a register I pulled out what I figured was a crusty wheat cent, then I took a second look. It appears to be some sort of old trade token for Union Flour P.L. WING & CO Albany NY, possibly used during WWI or II. If anyone has any idea of what this is I'd appreciate it. And two foriegn coins also. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Burks Posted July 11, 2006 Report Share Posted July 11, 2006 Found an UNC 1960-D Lincoln in change while at work. Also, finally, found some silver doing roll searches! Two 1967 Kennedy's with both in the EF range and some dark orange/red toning. $700 worth of rolls to finally find silver. Out of the $100 I searched, had about 12-15 keepers/upgrades for the folders. 1995's in AU/UNC condition are very popular in my area.
