Burks Posted September 7, 2005 Report Share Posted September 7, 2005 Cracked open two more rolls of pennies. Roll #1 - Two wheaties from the 40's Roll #2 - BU 1971 D, wheatie from 20's and one from the 40's. Two silver Kennedy's in change. 8 Silver Rosies Not a bad week. Going through coin rolls is fun and passes the time between classes. I get enough stares at the library because of it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dockwalliper Posted September 9, 2005 Report Share Posted September 9, 2005 Not exactly circulation...more like 5 inches down in a local park. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grifter Posted September 9, 2005 Author Report Share Posted September 9, 2005 Nice find Dock. I take it you were using a metal detetor. I think that would be fun. Too bad I can't afford one right now... Saving for Ipod Nano, and of course that beautiful 1908S IHC at the coin shop... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ccg Posted September 9, 2005 Report Share Posted September 9, 2005 I've never actually seen a mintmarked IHC (well, there's only two dates...) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UncleBobo Posted September 9, 2005 Report Share Posted September 9, 2005 1970 Quarter Dollar It's a notable find because the top of the head is so warn down it now looks more like Gavin Macleod then George Washington. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JayKay Posted September 10, 2005 Report Share Posted September 10, 2005 Nothing good in the last couple of weeks, but since early summer: > '63 Roosie and '62 Washington, both VF, from the change box for the office coffee fund > '40 nickel, maybe in F > Three war nickels: a '43-P and '45-P, both VG, and another very worn '45-P, AG at best The war nickels all came from an automated change dispenser at a local supermarket so I assume someone must have dumped them, either accidentally or on purpose.

Scottishmoney Posted September 19, 2005 Report Share Posted September 19, 2005 Done well with wheats this week, a 1947 again, and 1951. The 1951 actually was handed to me with the rest of a payment from a customer, I saw the wheat stalks when it was in the customers hand.

daggit Posted September 19, 2005 Report Share Posted September 19, 2005 1919 wheatie from the Chevron gas station in Chilliwack Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scottishmoney Posted September 19, 2005 Report Share Posted September 19, 2005 1919 wheatie from the Chevron gas station in Chilliwack I got a 1918 from a Chevron in California once, I think it is my earliest coin ever from circulation. On that trip, about 2 weeks, I came back with several early Jeffersons, a silver dime, and several wheaties. I worked for Chevron for 7 yrs so I think they owed me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jmpearso Posted September 26, 2005 Report Share Posted September 26, 2005 about a month ago i got an 1899 indian head penny. 3 months ago i was metal detecting up in some small town in the hills and I stopped off to buy a soda and the lady gave me back 2 mercs, so I asked her if I could get some more change. I ended up with 9 mercs and 2 silver rosies....i have been back since but no luck...I even asked her to check her quarters. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dockwalliper Posted October 5, 2005 Report Share Posted October 5, 2005 1962 Quarter from the vending machine. Nothing special other than its silver. Strange how the machines give them out as change but won't take them...same thing with Canadian coins. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Burks Posted October 5, 2005 Report Share Posted October 5, 2005 Strange how the machines give them out as change but won't take them...same thing with Canadian coins. I've never had a problem using Canadian coins with machines whether it be arcade or washing machines. Odd isn't it. Went to a coin shop today and bought a Coins magazine. Got back a bicentennial $0.50. The guy said they give out coins like that to gain more interest in the hobby. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
syzygy Posted October 5, 2005 Report Share Posted October 5, 2005 Went to a coin shop today and bought a Coins magazine. Got back a bicentennial $0.50. The guy said they give out coins like that to gain more interest in the hobby. I have also received some interesting coins in change from coin shops. I always thought that it resulted from them buying collections and separating the coins that they would not be able to sell. Same effect, I guess, but slightly different motivation - who knows.

Being a border town all the machines here are set to reject Canadain coins. Otherwise they would lose money because everyone would use them to get the "discount". Only place that I know takes them at par are the toll baskets on the Thru-way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
