Finds from the register:
2 bicentennial quarters, 1 (P) & 1 D
1944 wheat cent (kind of funny there were any pennies in the drawer, but they forgot to zero out the pennies)

And had a fake-out... a River of No Return (Idaho) quarter with some gunk where the mintmark was... cleaned that part off, and sadly it was a D, not a W. But I'm still looking!

 

I got this 2000-D Maryland quarter in change this afternoon. Very deep, strong strike, and the reverse is positively prooflike. Kinda cool. I even took pictures of it, just for fun.

 

The quality and finish of the Denver business strikes are superior to the Philly strikes. They do look like a hybrid strike; proof like.

 

Bicentennial quarter and got another 2026-D Emerging Liberty dime from a customer. First time I saw the person spending it rather than it already be sitting in the drawer.

 

Finds today: 2 bicentennial quarters, and a 1952-D wheat cent

Finding pennies at all kind of feels like it qualifies as a find now lol.

 

I agree. Getting cents in change is becoming uncommon.

 

Still plenty were I'm at. Only started seeing stores rounding in the past two months or so. I toss all my change in a cup until I have time to go through it, one's on the top are from today.

 

Still finding copper cents occasionally. This one is from today.

 

Been working on trying to get all the different quarter designs from pocket change. Here's what I've got so far in state quarters.

 

That’s a fun project. Good luck on that endeavor!

 

Two nice upgrades for the Jefferson nickel album:
A really nice 1949-D, at least AU, maybe even uncirculated; at any rate in great condition for a 77 year old coin and a lot better than what was already in the album.
A nice 1976-D possibly AU or even uncirculated with a slight amount of yellowish/goldish toning on it. I'm not even big on toning, but this does look nice, and better than the one I already had in the album.

 

Pocket change for today, another copper cent.
