Cool The list- finally!

Ok- finally! Here's the much anticipated ( ) list of the goodies I've found while working at the bank. Let me just preface this list by saying that if I do find anything that's valuable and I know who brought it in I always ask the owner if they want it back. Most of what I've found is junk silver, but there's been some pretty good stuff too. This is by no means a complete list- that'd take days to type! Ok- here goes...

Cents: It's not much of an exaggeration to say that I've found thousands of wheat cents. I've found as much as $18 dollars worth in one day. I have found pretty much a complete date-and-mintmark set of Lincolns, minus only the 1909-S, 1909-SVDB, 1914-D, 1922 Plain, and the 1931-S. I do have a 1891 Indian Head cent and a 1972 DDO. It's not one of the more spectactular ones, you need a magnifying glass to see the doubling, but it's there. One of my co-workers found a beat up 1898 Flying Eagle cent.

One dateless, nearly worn slick 2-cent piece!

A handful of Buffalo nickels, one with a partial date and two with actual readable dates.

I'm only missing the 1942-D for a date-and-mintmark set of wartime Jefferson nickels. For some reason the D's are few and far between. The 1943's I have outnumber the rest of the dates 2-1, but no 3/2's...

Four Mercury dimes, and a nearly complete date set of silver Roosevelt dimes. I'm only missing a 1949 and a 1955. I also once found a Seated Liberty dime that I returned to its owner. The guy said "I've been looking for that- it's my golf marker!"

I have half a date set of silver Washington quarters, missing most of the early dates. I do have a pretty decent 1935-S.

Three Franklin halves, including one 1949 that someone cleaned almost to the point of oblivion. I have a complete set plus some of silver Kennedys, there are as many 64's as the rest of the dates combined.

One 1979-P Near Date SBA dollar, one Morgan dollar (returned to owner), and one 1922 Peace dollar (owner let me keep!).

Now the foreign coins- I have coins from 34 different nations. I'll list them if anyone's interested- here's the highlights.

A partial set of Irish euros- 10 euro cent, 5 cent, 2 cent, and several 1 cent.

Lots of UK coins, including new pence, old pence, half penny.

German euros, Finnish euros, Italian euros.

It still amazes me that I've found coins from every continent (except Antartica of course... ). The coins from Liberia, South Africa, and Zambia I'm especially proud of.

Lots of cool Canadian stuff: two Loonies, one Twonie, several Centennial quarters and cents, several silver quarters and dimes, half of the 1999 Calendar series, half of the 2000 Millenium series, a Vol dime, a Golden Jubilee dime and cent, and a 1928 cent.

Also an old German game token, and what I think is an old Indianapolis bus token.

That's about it- hope this didn't get too long winded for everyone!

Rachel
