Dave Posted December 7, 2010 Report Share Posted December 7, 2010 This morning I was sifting through a change jar at home getting a couple quarters for the soda machine at work. As I was sifting through it in the dim light, I saw what I thought was a canadian and I picked it up again, then thinking it was a barber design, and then as I turned it over, I saw a nice big V. It's pretty worn, and not wirth anything, but it was nice to find this 1912 V nickel in change. I believe my exact words were "No freekin' way!"

TheCoinCzar Posted December 9, 2010 Report Share Posted December 9, 2010 I love stories like this! I found a 1923 buffalo nickel in my change purse at a coin club meeting of all places when I was putting some money in the Kitty for refreshments. Gee was I stoked!

Finn235 Posted December 9, 2010 Report Share Posted December 9, 2010 How did it get in there? This reminds me of the time that my friend asked me to go through his loose change jar for anything valuable before he rolled it and took it to the bank. I found 8-ish 1940s wheat pennies, a few nickels from the '50s, and one battered 1909 wheatie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ColinG Posted December 10, 2010 Report Share Posted December 10, 2010 Cool. In the middle ages coins would circulate for centuries. Now it's rare to find something 30 or 40 years old in your change. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
