My oldest roll find to date today. Looking through a roll of lincols, I found a 1919 Wheat and a 1935 wheat. The 1919 is in sad shape, but hey, it's still old!!
Today at Culver's when the cashier handed me my change, I heard a peculiar sound, not the usual clink of cupro-nickel, or even nickel from Canadian coins. But that distinctive resonance that only a more noble metal possesses. And yes, it was silver A 1958-D quarter. First silver quarter in a few months.
I got a 1963 Roosie in my change form Mc Donald's today. it is in high AU condition. I wonder if someone's kids took it out of their collection.
got one i found a 2002d sacagawea dollar. but it was heavily used. anyway. it was my first sacagawea dollar that was intended for collectors only.
in the 8th grade, (about 2 decades ago!) I raised money for a trip to D.C. with my class by hawking candy bars between classes. I sold lots of candy bars for Susan B Anthony dollars, and really old nickels and such that I think I still have... It was always the same kid buying, and I was naive then, but now that I'm a little wiser, I'm sure he was sneaking into his daddy's coin collection to support his Snickers habit. I also have 2 silver certificates that I was given when I've had yardsales. Selling crap for silver certificates! yeah baby.
I found a 1944 quarter, a 1962 dime, and 1947 dime all from the same grocery store, in the same month. i found the 47 dime the day after the 62 dime. i thought that was wierd.
$116 worth of halfs from all banks in 60 mile stretch and took almost all day. No one has anymore on that 60 mile route. Guess what I found. Nothing. Some person (rolls marked CBH) is in MY territory. Guess I'll have to hit some more remote banks. I'm that much closer to finding silver. YAY
I bought a roll of nickels yesterday from a bank and what was interesting about this roll was that while there were three from the 1950s, there wasn't one nickel from the '60s. It would be nice if something like that happened with a roll of quarters but I think I would have a better chance at winning a super lotto first!
I live in a small senior park. We've had a few burglaries lately and things that were stolen included coin collections. They will probably show up in the local stores as well. My find lately was 1944-d wheat RPM.
I just got 2 in one day - a silver quarter in the coin return for the pop machine at work. I didn't even by a pop, just noticed it as I walked by. Then a silver dime in my change at the gas station.
Got a 5 Euro cent coin from the Netherlands yesterday where I work... person who paid with it mistook it for a penny.
