Scottishmoney Posted April 14, 2007 Report Share Posted April 14, 2007 One 1972 Ike and one 1974 Ike waiting for me at the Bank this morning, saved for me:) Unfortunately they did not last long as the 2.5 yr old snatched them from me and took off. Now she won't give them back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vfox Posted April 14, 2007 Report Share Posted April 14, 2007 I had the chance to raid the coinstar "junk/trash" bin yesterday. I pulled out a silver earing, a sharks tooth, 2 1 francs made into pendants, 7 silver rosies, and a 39 merc in Vf. I was a happy little camper! Â Oh, and I forget if I mentioned this, but I found a 1939 10 cent from the Netherlands on the floor in my store. I cannot even imagine how it got there, or who had it with them to drop in the first place. But I was really happy to find it! Blows my mind sometimes lol.

Â To think what happened in the Netherlands the year or two after that 10 center was minted... Could that coin have been held in Nazi hands? Or maybe used by the resistance to bribe someone.

Phoenix21 Posted April 16, 2007 Report Share Posted April 16, 2007 Got a star note the other day, along with a 1977A $1, along with a 1940 S nickel! All at different times. The neat part of it all was it was on Friday the 13th. Â Phoenix Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I still have a bunch of Dutch 10-cent coins from a trip back in 1996, and they have got to be the smallest, most annoying coins ever minted by man!

Â WOW Â I wonder if McD's is giving out coins as prizes with each purchase. And like their Monopoly game, you have to collect them all to get some good prize...

KevinCali25 Posted April 21, 2007 Report Share Posted April 21, 2007 I got a couple of the mid 90's design $5 bills recently. Both very faded... Found a 1964 penny on the ground yesterday. And at the bank yesterday, I got 4 1985 $20 bills. 2 of them were in great condition and were even from the same bank and started with the same first 3 serial #'s...I just thought it was weird getting 4 of these old 20's at the same time...I hadn't seen one in the wild in quite some time.

Scottishmoney Posted April 22, 2007 Report Share Posted April 22, 2007 I guess it cannot be a circulation find, but maybe a what was it doing and why was it there find... Yesterday while going through a WPM catalog looking up Hungarian banknotes, I found a series 1963-A Barr note, which I must have gotten out of circulation years ago and used as a bookmark and forgot about it.

thedeadpoint Posted April 22, 2007 Report Share Posted April 22, 2007 Oh the wonderful irony... Â Got a Bicentennial Quarter and a 1944-D Nick in the same handful of change today. I noticed the nick right away (old ones are so easily spotted) and then a few minutes later I noticed the quarter. Â Why irony? Look at my above post... This nickel is perfectly 3 times my age! 63 years old! So cool! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TreasureGirl Posted April 23, 2007 Report Share Posted April 23, 2007 I have NEVER found a silver nickel. Nickels from '39 and '41, yes, two silver dimes and two silver quarters, yes, but no silver nickels. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Capt-AWACS Posted April 23, 2007 Report Share Posted April 23, 2007 while joggin the German/Dutch border trail here, near myhouse, I found a 1977 Deutsch 10 Pfennig. Once I wiped the dirt it wasn't half bad. I think it got kicked out by some farmers or something.
