ccg Posted July 17, 2006 Report Share Posted July 17, 2006 1944-P nickel, 1964-P quarter, 1911-P lincoln cent, and last but not least...a 2 cent euro mixed in with some nickels. Now that last one's weird. As a cent, sure, but as a nickel?! Myself, I used to keep the EUR2c as pocket pieces until I lost a bunch because I kept on accidentally spending them as cents.

Vfox Posted July 17, 2006 Report Share Posted July 17, 2006 Now that last one's weird. As a cent, sure, but as a nickel?! Myself, I used to keep the EUR2c as pocket pieces until I lost a bunch because I kept on accidentally spending them as cents. Yeah I thought it was strange too, but it came out of a new freshly opened roll. It is a little bigger than a cent, but smaller than a nickel, but I'd assume bulk coin counting machines can't tell the difference and just plopped it into the nickel slot.

UncleBobo Posted July 25, 2006 Report Share Posted July 25, 2006 This isn't exactly a circulation find but I found a NYC subway token in a box in the trunk of my car and I have no idea how it got there. The subway hasn't used tokens in years and that box was put into my trunk recently. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Burks Posted August 5, 2006 Report Share Posted August 5, 2006 Went through $100 worth of Kennedy's today. 1 - 1968 EF 2 - 1967 AU's 9 - 1976 Bicents in MS condition. Really weird because there would be two stacked in almost every other roll. Best looking 76's I've seen come out of rolls. 1 - 1996 MS Pretty much all that's worth mentioning. There is a 71' that has an extra wide rim. Kept it just for the heck of it! Out of my $25 box of cents I opened up two rolls. One had a MS63 or so 1961 facing up and the other a VG/F 1941-D facing up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Burks Posted August 14, 2006 Report Share Posted August 14, 2006 Well I was searching some rolls when the best find of the box was made. My words, out loud, were "Holy crap!" A 1942-D that is probably UNC overall. The obverse is basically mark free. Sadly the reverse has some odd coloration which is probably from storage. This coin had to of come from a collection. I'm amazed at the quality. Pictures to come tomorrow! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vfox Posted August 14, 2006 Report Share Posted August 14, 2006 A nice crispy Au (looks like it was folded and flattened years ago) 1935 silver certificate $1 bill. But, it has two light marker spots on the obv, looks like someone marked it with a bill checker marker to make sure it was real....oafs. But, for a dollar, I can't complain lol.

But, it has two light marker spots on the obv, looks like someone marked it with a bill checker marker to make sure it was real....oafs. But, for a dollar, I can't complain lol. *drool* I was with my father a few years ago and he showed me a '57 $1 Silver Cert. he found in some change. Currently I'm searching for a few of the key notes to finish off my 1923 through 57 series. (Anyone want to spot me a few dozen K for some nice star notes?) Anywho, I credit that circulation find to my currency side of the hobby. My father also received a few '57s from a bank teller but didn't realize it til later that they were sequential. Had he known earlier, he would have gone right back to the bank and asked for the rest of that batch. So for the last 6 years or so, I haven't seen a single silver certificate in circulation. I'd love to find one now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rotten Rodney Posted August 17, 2006 Report Share Posted August 17, 2006 got a 1961 dime today in ef-40 shape easy. Seems to have some interesting Machine doubling on the reverse Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scottishmoney Posted August 17, 2006 Report Share Posted August 17, 2006 Incredibly, a Malaysia 1 sen from 1996, a refugee from afar. This thing is smaller than a dime, but masqueraded as a cent for a while. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vfox Posted August 17, 2006 Report Share Posted August 17, 2006 The paper gods have been kind this week. Last night I got a 1963 red seal $5 and a 1977 $50 star note, both are in used condition, but the $50 is going to jump to eBay shortly, so meh. Oh, and a 2003 Canadian PL dime.

Mila_cent Posted August 18, 2006 Report Share Posted August 18, 2006 My son treated me to a dinner for my Birthday today. He needed quarters for the parking meter and when I pulled out my pocket change I found a 2006 Nebraska amoung the change. Which I didn't give up. And it's in pretty good condition, still shiny like new. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
