Vfox Posted April 20, 2010 Report Share Posted April 20, 2010 I finally found my first shield cent as well. Also lightly circulated but much better looking than this miserable scan shows, haha. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ScottO Posted April 21, 2010 Report Share Posted April 21, 2010 yea its the 1988 pound coin, pretty hard to come across but thats the only year of the design only 7,118,825 minted, but they just NEVER appear its also a very interesting coin, as this one MIGHT be 8 over 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Stilson Posted April 21, 2010 Report Share Posted April 21, 2010 What do you think of them, Mark and V? Kind of like them. But then I like simple designs. BTW 4 more in change. When it rains it pours. These are brand new shiny though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thedeadpoint Posted April 22, 2010 Report Share Posted April 22, 2010 Wow! The 2009 and 2010 coins are coming out of hiding! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dockwalliper Posted April 22, 2010 Report Share Posted April 22, 2010 2009 Puerto Rico quarter at Taco Hell today. Only my 2nd 2009 quarter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Finn235 Posted April 23, 2010 Report Share Posted April 23, 2010 I did my part to help those quarters get out into circulation. About 8 months ago, the cash office at my work got an entire BOX of '09-P DC quarters. I kept two rolls for myself (one unbroken and one cherrypicked from pre-broken rolls) and ended up giving two more rolls out to a lady who explicitly said that she planned to use them at a laundromat. The rest of them slowly leaked out to our customers, and I really haven't seen too many since then. I'll find an occasional Virgin Island, Puerto Rico, or American Samoa from time to time, though. I'm beginning to think that 2009 and 2010 will eventually become a semi-key date for modern coins. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saor Alba Posted April 24, 2010 Report Share Posted April 24, 2010 Another pretty decent find to round out an exciting week with the discovery of the 1901 Indian in the cent roll on Tuesday, this time I got a 1949-S cent along with 1941, 1942, and 1959 nickels, and a 1964 YH Canadian 5 cents and a 1976 Canadian 5 cents. I don't ordinarily save Canadians unless they are YH or worth more than melt in the case of both of the 5 cent coins. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vfox Posted April 25, 2010 Report Share Posted April 25, 2010 Junky silver nickel today along with a 1/10th Balboa masquerading as a rosey dime. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ccg Posted April 25, 2010 Report Share Posted April 25, 2010 10p as a quarter. Haven't had that happen for a while, but 10p as 25c and 1p as 1c are not too unusual occurances... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corina Posted April 28, 2010 Report Share Posted April 28, 2010 found this 1958d Wheat penny in my change today Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ikaros Posted May 20, 2010 Report Share Posted May 20, 2010 Speechless. I am speechless. This came out of a roll of nickels. The photo doesn't do it justice. Also turned up a 47, 57D, 58D and 59D. All are now in a 'retirement home'. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saor Alba Posted May 20, 2010 Report Share Posted May 20, 2010 My 14 year old son found 26 of them just lying on the ground around school today. I will sort them out and list them later. I am still amazed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thedeadpoint Posted May 20, 2010 Report Share Posted May 20, 2010 Wow! Amazing, Ikaros! That's why I loved the nickels! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saor Alba Posted May 21, 2010 Report Share Posted May 21, 2010 My son had 26 wheat cents in his wallet when he came home from school this afternoon. He was picking them up walking around school, apparently someone must have busted a collection - probably one of the Whitman folders, because all the cents are from 1941-1957 with all different dates and mintmarks including several S mints. He said that it appeared as though someone was then throwing them around on the floor at school. I loathe to think that a collection was broken up, stolen etc. Several of the 1950's dated cents are BU, well were. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ccg Posted May 21, 2010 Report Share Posted May 21, 2010 That nickel's better than the one in my type set! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ikaros Posted May 21, 2010 Report Share Posted May 21, 2010 That nickel's better than the one in my type set! Heck, it's better than the one I have in my nickel set! I got a better image of it and updated the Omnicoin image... should show in the original message now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ikaros Posted May 21, 2010 Report Share Posted May 21, 2010 Oh yeah -- I got several rolls of pennies, too. Quite a few in the 60s and early 70s in high grade, and a couple have some incredible blue and magenta toning going on. Pictures when I finish sorting through them!
