Your best find in circulation?

Rono:
We used to get some neat things 'back in the day'.
I remember getting a Barber quarter from a customer on my paper route, at first I thought that it was a foreign coin.
Very neat, and it really launched me into reading up on coins.

Hi Ruben,

Yeppers, the 1921-D Walker is running between $450 in VG and $650 in F.

It's one of the key dates for the series.

Hi Frank,

Back in 3rd Grade our teacher started everyone collecting a year set of pennies. This would have been in '55-56 or so as I was born in '48.

Back then you could still find indian heads in bank rolls on a fairly regular basis.

I'm not much for having regrets, but I guess I do sort of regret that I didn't stay with collecting continuously all these years. Sure, I kept my coins, but collected off and on thru the years. Think if I'd just been buying a mint set and proof set all these years and ACTIVELY collecting.

Where I DID make out like a bandit was in the mid-70's when I was running restaurants. Went thru ALL the change and bought all the silver for face value. Cha-Ching! When I went back to school in the late 70's the Hunts were cranking the market and I was able to very nicely augment my GI Bill by selling junk silver.

I may not have been a consistant collector over the years, but I've always been a weasel. ;-)

take care,

rono

Alas,

 

Mine is a 1912D Barber Half in XF condition. Second place is a 1960 Franklin Proof (with no noticable damage from being circulated)


As for the kid that spent a $100 platinum coin, I think it's pretty obvious that kid isn't going to college.

 

1877 IHC in a roll!

Grades AG,no damage,tops of 7's showing,in penny roll found in 1959. Tucson,AZ
