Finn235 Posted March 13, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 13, 2011 Notable finds of the last week or so! Yesterday, I found a 2006 masonic penny in my till. I know nothing valuable, but cool nonetheless! I did some research, and it looks like they are given as a keepsake to anyone who joins the ranks of the Freemasons. Anybody have anything else to add? And today, a 1918 penny! Oldest coin I've ever found in circulation! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Art Posted March 13, 2011 Report Share Posted March 13, 2011 Nice finds. A 1918 penny must have "fallen out" of someone's collection. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Finn235 Posted March 18, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 18, 2011 Disregard that last post. New record: 1916-S Received this one as payment from a customer today. Reverse looks to be in significantly better shape than the obverse; makes me think it was used as a filler for an album until a better coin was found. Still, oldest and rarest penny I've ever found in circulation! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Finn235 Posted March 20, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 20, 2011 Top all of that off with a nice '46 wheatie and a '46 silver roosie in my till yesterday! I was disappointed that my bank locked up their vault before I could get a box of nickels--I was feeling lucky! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Finn235 Posted April 6, 2011 Author Report Share Posted April 6, 2011 Found a series '85 $1 bill recently, serial E99162817A. One heavy fold down the center, but otherwise in nice condition. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Finn235 Posted April 12, 2011 Author Report Share Posted April 12, 2011 Picked up 4 rolls of dollar coins because the bank was out of nickel boxes. There were 2 each of the '09 and '10 Sacagawea coins, 5 Lincoln dollars, 10 near-UNC '01-D Sacs, and a literal pile of '00 Sacs and miscellaneous presidents, mostly Jackson-Fillmore.

I never find any keepers when I get the dollar coin rolls but they're nice for spending. I especially like them for tips and such. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I especially like them for tips and such. Truth be told, I don't think anything except the '02-08 Sacs could be considered true "keepers." I keep a couple of each president, but none are particularly hard to come by. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Finn235 Posted April 17, 2011 Author Report Share Posted April 17, 2011 Coins have been excruciatingly slow for a while, but finally some new developments on the dollar-bill side! Three days ago, received a Series 1969-B $1, SN: D15129208A. The bill is clean, but looks like it was used for some sort of origami some time ago. And today, the first bill in my stack of 25 $1 bills was my *second* 1963-B Barr note, SN: E48784714F. Medium-large tear across one portion of the bill, but I'll take it nonetheless. Also, on a side note, I have managed to amass nearly 3 full rolls of 1964-D and 2 rolls of 1964 nickels, all marked in bold sharpie. I am probably going to start spending them around soon... hopefully I will stir up some curiosity! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The thing with 64 Jeffersons is to keep anything that is in really good shape with a solid strike. Lot harder to find than people might think.

Lot harder to find than people might think. I've noticed that as well, and I have managed to snag several in near-BU condition '64 nickels. I've also kept my eye out for the '64-D with motto "E PLURIDUS UNUM" but haven't found any. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Finn235 Posted June 27, 2011 Author Report Share Posted June 27, 2011 Finally some non-nickel updates from work. Aside from the usual smattering of wheat pennies (1938-1957) and occasional Canadian change, some interesting/noteworthy finds: $20 bill with the lowest serial number I've ever seen: 00000211. I made a comment about it, and the customer simply remarked that he got it from his work, and he's seen everything... including somebody who paid a $3,000 bill entirely in varied series 1950-something United States Notes. My first ever 2009 cent with the Presidency reverse. And I've seen more than $100 worth of pennies since 2009. Various ATB quarters, including two '11-P Gettysburg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Finn235 Posted July 14, 2011 Author Report Share Posted July 14, 2011 1980 proof dime in my till today! That makes the fourth proof overall, and the first in almost a year! It's obviously seen some heavy handling, but the fields are clear of major contact marks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
