Aside from that, keep up the good hunt bugo!

 

Tonight I found a lot of pennies and nickels. The pennies I found included a 1946-D, 1953, 1953-S, 1960-D (3). I found five nickels: a 1939, a 1940, a 1948, a 1954-D, and a 1959, I also found a 1980 Canadian penny. The find of the night was a Series 1957 B silver certificate. A customer spent it.

 

Here's the United States Note:

 

I haven't found much lately besides wheat pennies, bicey quarters, pre-1960 nickels and star notes, but I was looking through the nickel collection that I have been adding to for most of my life and found a couple of key dates I didn't know I had: 1951-S and 1955.

 

I found a 1950 nickel in a roll today. I turned it over hoping for a D mintmark but there was none. It's still a good find.

 

I've found 1949-S and 1950-P nickels in circulation in the last week. Semi-key finds with mintages under ten million. Not super rare but not common in circulation. I've also been finding a bunch of well circulated $1 and $20 star notes. I bought the $1 notes just to carry around in my pocket to spend, but I passed on the $20s because I just didn't have the money and I don't like the modern $20 bills anyway.

 

I destroyed the card and put it in the garbage. I was curious about what was on the card, but not curious enough to put my computer at risk.

 

Tonight I found 1951-D, 1958-D, 1959-D (2), and 1969-S pennies; 1940-S, 1956-D, 1957, 1958-D, and 1959 nickels; a 1964-D dime, 1971-D and 1990-D half dollars, a 1998 Bahamian 5 cent piece, and a Bubble Town token. The silver dime is the second silver coin I've spotted in the last two days. Yesterday I heard a customer jiggling change around in his pocket and I heard that telltale sign. I asked him if he had maybe a token in his pocket and he said "just dimes and quarters". I then asked if he had a silver coin, he pulled out his change, and I saw a 1964 quarter. I tried to buy it off of him but he wouldn't sell. Oh well.

 

Tonight was slower than last night. I spotted 1942, 1959-D, and two 1960-D pennies; 1952-D, 1952, 1957-D, and 1959-D nickels, a 1995-P half dollar, and Canadian pennies from 1976 and 1986. No silver.

 

Your "slow" is something some of only dream about...!

 

I wonder if some of these are Chinese fakes.

 

Chinese fakes?

 

Today I went to the coin shop I brought back 1918-D, 1920, 1926, 1930-D, 1937, 1937-S, 1941, and two 1954 wheat pennies; 1969-S, 1978-S, and 1979-S proof nickels; 1962 and 1964 proof dimes; and a 1962 proof quarter. The 1979-S nickel is marked "type 1". I have no idea what that means so I'm going to get out the red book and load up Google and find out what it is. It was only 89 cents so I couldn't pass it up.

 

Tonight was a fantastic night for coinspotting. I found 1920, 1938, 1944-D. 1947-D, 1952-D, and 1958-D wheat pennies; a 1960-D penny; D-minted nickels from 1948 and 1960; a 1990-P half dollar, a Series 1995 $5 bill, and the find of the night, a 1900 penny. This is the second Indian head penny that I've found so far in 2014. I found the six wheat pennies early in my shift after opening a few rolls. I found the 1920 penny and thought to myself "this is going to be the find of the night." Two rolls of pennies went into the second register, which was barely used because I was doing things most of the night and my co-worker ran the other register. I decided to look through the pennies again, and found the Native American cent. I don't know how I missed it the first time, but I'm glad I looked a second time.

 

I like the photos. Nice finds!

 

Thanks! I am quite pleased with my stash for the night. All eight pennies cost me a total of eight cents.

 

Tonight was a slow night but about 2 hours before I got off a customer came in and paid with a bunch of dimes. I immediately spotted the silver dime in his hand but didn't get my wishes up too high but when I got a chance to take a look at it I noted that it was a 1964-D dime.

 

You are pretty darn lucky! I've logged over 1000 hours as a cashier and I've only found one silver nickel, no silver anything else.

 

My silver dime count has to be up to at least 35.
