Interesting Find From Circulation

Or get to be good friends with one. Shortly after moving to my small little burg in western PA, I walked down to the local bank branch. I asked the tellers to let me know if anything "odd" turned up. I'd come buy it out of the till. They've been pretty good about it, but I haven't gotten anything really rare yet.

I see a lot of 64 nickels. Today I got a 1942 S and a 1957-D, along with 55-D and 57-D wheat pennies.

 

oh man that would help pay for my college tuition. Way to go, I'm jealous too.

 

i just found a 1961-d silver dime in ym coin jar while collecting coins from it for my lunch tommorow :goofer: heh

 

got a 1968 roosie and 2 1965 quarters today!

 

1968 silver roosie? ?

 

wow, i'm really really really tired.

 

Found a 1942 Canadian Penny in my change from market.... looks to be Fine F-12.

I'll post a pic once my scanner is replaced.

 

Edit 1938 Edit oops nickel, and 43 P silver nickel. Also a 1952 D silver dime.

 

1955 Lincoln that looks like it just might be a poor-man's DD.

 

1979 Canadian Quarter AU

Also, 1998 JFK Half, D, AU, Received in change t a convenience store.

 

I found a 1988 Roosevelt Dime that appears to be missing the clad layer.
I'm not sure if it's good, but I'll weigh it to see if it is real. It looks similar to a penny, and the inside of a dime is copper. Never know!

 

2005 Bi-Metalic Mexican peso

 

Yesterday found a 1963-D dime in my lunch change at school-my only silver dime I have-
Bill

 

At work a 1937 Buffalo Nickel in good condition. You can see everything on the coin, but it has some green rust? on it.

 

1963-D silver Roosevelt dime today in the drawer, first silver in quite a while. Seems to be the silver dimes that show up all the time, lol, never found a silver quarter (though did find a silver war nickel once).

 

A couple years ago, got lunch at Wendy's and in my change was a restroom token. I'm sure it was mistaken for a quarter, I didn't complain though. (not as good as the one in my profile picture though.) Now when I go to fast food places that use restroom tokens I take one for my collection. And that incident at Wendy's is what got me started on it. One would never think that there were so many different designs.

 

1st post
I have been collecting for about 6 months. 3 weeks ago I got some rolled coins at the bank to look through and found a 1868 3 cent piece in a roll of dimes. It is the size of a dime and made out of nickle. I suppose the reason it was still circulating was because it sounded like a dime and it was in good condition. At first glance I thought it was a Canadian dime, then after looking closer I saw United States of America and the date.

 

Thats great!! :high5: I wish I would find something like that in a roll. The best Ive found was some walker haves in my searching. Mabey I'll have to try rools other than halves.

 

My Wife Got A V Nickel A Few Weeks Ago In Change.she Has Also Recently Got Several 90% Silver Coins In Change. The Best I Got Was 2005 Bison And Ocean In View Nickels.
