    My son, nephew and I searched three sealed bags of 1995 Lincolns and found 31 Double Dies. We found 31 in the first bag we searched, but the remaining two bags contained no DD’s (that was discouraging). Still have them today, can’t seem to let them go since we found them.

    Mine is probably a Mercury dime I got in change over the summer. I have found a few Walkers in rolls though.

    That would be the 1887 IHC I found in change in 2008.

    I was a retail manager while in college and I had many great finds, but the best one has to be a Standing Liberty Quarter with no date in 2006.

    The double post thing is getting annoying/distracting and splitting the audience.

    It's bad form for the forum, please stop.

    Mine was a 1911-S I found as a kid. It still had hints of red on it. ANACS called it 53. I think somebody (or somebody's kid) spent it by mistake.

    Cool, I found a 1912-S in real high grade with red on it. Same thing, looked like someone spent it that wasn't supposed to.

    One of mine was finding the Quarter pictured below in my pocket change. I then put it on Ebay took the money and purchased an Eisenhower Dollar Variety with a estimated mintage of 10,000 :eek: I thought that was pretty cool trade off for pocket change:hail:

    A friend of mine is a bartender and got a whole roll worth of wheats in her drawer one night and one was a completely red 1956 D. She gave me all the coins and I was amazed because I have never seen a wheat in circulation that was bright red and pretty much MS with no marks. This was about 10 months ago and the coin was absolutely perfect which leads me to believe somebody was spending collectibles as a result of the recession.
