Pocket Change Finds; Post Your Results

Unfortunately, this specimen spent time in a parking lot. But an older specimen from Canada nonetheless.

Just wait! One day, Im going go have something big on here! lol. Thanks for your knowledge. I truly appreciate it.

 

Not actually found in change (FIC), but found on the ground (FOG) in the parking lot when I replaced my shopping cart on Tues. At first I thought it showed die chips on the obverse, until I looked more closely. The 2 "dimples" at Washington's neck and bust line-up with the 2 Dot Peen Marks on either side of the eagle's neck on the reverse. Just PMD, but I'm ultra happy it's sliver.

 

I recently got a Canadian penny back in my change from a store in Alabama.

 

I am sure you will. The thing is that a pocket change find may have numismatic interest or personal interest. I recall the first time a received a button battery. Obviously no value…but quite unexpected. Even a ‘shiny penny’ catches my eye so you never know.

a couple of weeks ago I was in Arizona. I was smiling by all the Denver minted coinage. Nothing rare in the bunch but there were some shiny/higher grade coins with D’s to add to my Denver rolls. I started roll sets for nickels and cents years ago when I did CRH.

 

Well I will keep trying. I found this 1989 today. Is this just damage or something else?

 

what I see here is deterioration. It becomes more obvious as the die ages as the outer/edge devices seem to slide towards the rim. Sometimes it appears as die trails but are different.

 

Spanning a few generations in change from the self-checkout:

 

And another study in contrast, both from the same transaction:

 

Ok…I continue to have success at the local DD…for whatever reason. I think they are on to my collecting ways!!

 

Here is one of my last pocket change finds. Greaser

 

That’s a fine specimen too!

 

Cash register find: 2018 Panama 1 centesimo de Balboa; a reverse design I didn't have before that had the words "un centesimo de Balboa" instead of the national seal.

And not sure if this counts for anything but getting change from the bank to do laundry got 2 solid rolls of 2025-D Stacy Milbern quarters. Will save one at least, until such time as a I have a reason to spend them. ($9 worth got spent doing laundry lol.)

 

It counts. We collect what we like…no judgement from me.

 

A couple of new quarters.

 

2 wheat pennies from the cash register today:
1957-D & um... not entirely sure, date is pretty badly worn. Thought I saw a D mintmark but it almost seems like it's not in the right place. Might be 1910 or 1916 but wear and damage make it hard to tell for sure.

OK been staring at this thing too long... I don't think it has a mintmark at all, just a coincidentally "D" shaped scratch but it's too close to Lincoln's shirt to be a mintmark.

Date might be 1910 or 1918... I'm kind of convinced it's more likely 1918.

 

Fun finding a well worn specimen still in service!! Likely 100+ years of service if your crossed eyes aren’t deceiving you!

 

Cash register find today: 1974 Canadian cent

 

Dunkin continues to deliver!
