corkykile Posted November 19, 2007 Report Share Posted November 19, 2007 It has finally happened! My hubby gave me four Lincolns this morning. Now, remembering what I said about turning in 278 rolls of Lincolns to our bank? I got at least three of them back in his change. There are two 69s bu Lincolns that I bought in rolls and have searched thoroughly, and decided to recycle the ones that did not meet my criteria for collectables. Â Living in a small town it was bound to happen. But so quickly? Â Oh, and yesterday, due to Dustin's star note mention, I checked my wallet, and voila! I had a 2003 series star note L00868588*. Now I know what to look for. Thanks Dustin. Â Corky Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scottishmoney Posted November 21, 2007 Report Share Posted November 21, 2007 Not really a circulation find I guess, but tonight I pulled out a book from my bookcase to read at dinner, and $8 dropped out of the book. They are all older notes, series 1963A and 1977. Have no idea why they were in the book, or for how long. The book was my Grandmothers and maybe she saved them, have no idea. Haven't seen one of the old style fivers in a while now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TreasureGirl Posted December 1, 2007 Report Share Posted December 1, 2007 Woohoo! A 1980-S SBA and a 2004-P Sac without even trying. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thedeadpoint Posted December 1, 2007 Report Share Posted December 1, 2007 pretty cool find actually. i saw it in a tip jar, asked to exchange it for a $20 bill. It was a double eagle. the glint of gold was distinctive of course, even if it was really really dull and worn. I can barely read the date. I'd guess 1930something. maybe 33. Â meh. whatever. its probably just worth melt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was begining to think you reverted to "noob"ism and didn't understand the significance of a 1933 $20, let alone ANY 1930 gold coin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jtryka Posted December 3, 2007 Report Share Posted December 3, 2007 Not all 1930s gold is rare, just look at the 1932 eagle, common as can be! Today I fould a 1939 nickel in change. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scottishmoney Posted December 6, 2007 Report Share Posted December 6, 2007 Yesterday a 1944 cent, today a 1939 sitting in a take a penny leave a penny tray in a Mexican restaurant, curiously the 1939 cent had been rubbed by the date to see what the date was, but they spent it anyway.

Â Â With all the attention that the 1933 $20's get, people neglect that the coins were also minted in 1929-1932 were minted in larger numbers but never released for circulation, all that exist today were purchased over the counter at the mint. Now a BU $20 from those years starts at $20K. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Art Posted December 6, 2007 Report Share Posted December 6, 2007 My sister-in-law brought me a dateless buffalo nickel that she got as part of the payment at the store she works at. A nice find for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now a BU $20 from those years starts at $20K. Â Exactly what I meant. I think one of the date/mint $20 issues is actually rarer than the 1933 issue (assuming there are a dozen or so as suspected) because of the melting during the depression. Looks like its the 1927-D that only has 6 or 7. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In general 1929-33 are rarer gold coins (remember 1933 Indian $10 have always been legal to own, though expensive), though it is not universal. In general for $20 they are all rare, for $10, the 1932 is common, the 30-S and 33 are rare (none were minted from 1927-29), for $5 and $2.50, they only date minted in that span was 1929, and both of those are fairly common.

Scottishmoney Posted December 15, 2007 Report Share Posted December 15, 2007 1967 Kennedy that I spied in the coin tray at the bank this morning. First silver in a few months. Yesterday I bought a box of 2500 cents and came up with the following: Â 1941 x 2 1942 1944 1945-D 1945 1946 1947 1950 1951-D x 2 1955-D 1956 red uncirculated 1956-D 1957-D x 2 Â 1969-S 1971-S 1972-S Â Canada GVI 1952 Â 16 Wheats in the box was not a bad haul, nothing too exciting, but the last time I sorted through a box I only found 4 Wheats.

Dockwalliper Posted December 24, 2007 Report Share Posted December 24, 2007 I found a 1949 GVI Canadian nickel on top of the pop machine at work. I often find coins(that the machine rejected) on top of the machines. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
