    I find a lot of bicentennial quarters in the change i get when i go to the party store by my house. But i just pass them on as a common quarter (after looking them over ofcorse)

    Yes, I look at every coin that passes through my hands. The best I've found was a Jefferson nickel with retained struck through copper shards.

    That sounds like a crazy looking coin.

    Got a 1945 quarter back in change at a gas station one day. I knew there was silver in the handful of change just from the sound.

    Have found 2 1998 WAM lincoln cents too.

    Pardon me for asking but what is a WAM cent? I am kind of new to collecting.

    Oh ok. I still am unsure what is good to save and what to put back into circulation. Gotta start somewhere lol

    It is. It didn't photograph well, so posting it here didn't go over too well. One of these days it's going to NGC.

    Yes, I look at it but rarely find anything. The last old coin I got in change was a 1958 Lincoln a few months back.

    I find tons and tons of 60 and older Lincoln cents.

    This was some years ago, but I once received in change--as a dime, in Maryland--a shilling of George V.
