OK, first thing I found at work, in Register #1, was the toned dime. its a 2006-D - and its crazy! I can't get good pictures right now, that will have to come later. It looks like it was someones experiment, but at the same time it could be natural- somehow... lol The other thing I found, in Register #2, was this 1942-S War Nickel. Stuck out like a sore thumb, just as the toned dime did. Here it is, its quite worn down. hehe good day today :thumb:
Yeah, its definitly fun to be able to search through lots of money, both paper and coinage and Im still working on getting pictures of the dime, haha. Batteries ran out of juice.
Congrats! Maybe it will be just the tip of the iceberg. Wouldn't it be nice if someone cashed in an old jar of change and there's more yet to be found. I'm still finding one or two war nickels a day since the huge find I had 10 days ago. I'm almost up to a full roll of silver nicks and 13 Buffs.
Nice find, I think the 1942 Nickel's actually contained no nickel as it was needed for the WW2 war efforts. Sliver was used instead of copper and the war nickels contained .560 copper, .350 silver and .090 manganese. The silver content was approx .056 oz. just think how many people ignore pocket change, even a "wheatie" in poor shape has got to be worth at least two cents if not more.
Mostly correct Harry, it started in 1942, but it was only the 1942-S and P, the 1942-D was actually a normal one... but anyways, the silver content makes it worth about 95¢ by the way folks, here's the dime. I'll try again tomorrow to get even better pictures. Getting the toning is difficult!!
Nice dime and thanks for the correction, which is why i have learned to start my posts here with "I think" A great place to learn here, glad i joined. Thanks, Harry
Dont worry, I didnt know either until I opened why whiteman folder to put the coin in... and saw that 1942-D, which I had, was a regular one. lol
