Penny found in change from store ....

 

Nice one Sal!! Fun when they are over 100 years old!!

 

Looks like theres a ghost B 1 below the 21

 

2 cash register finds from the 70's!

1974-S proof Jefferson nickel
Series 1977A $5 bill (see the paper money forum for the picture)

 

My first impaired proof was a 1975 S...looked like a basic circulation find. It had to have been in circulation for decades before I found it.

 

A 70S small date not in the best of shape, this is the first I have found in pocket change.

 

First I’ve ever seen posted. I don’t know if I’ve seen one posted from a CRH event.

Terrific find!!!

 

I believe I posted one some time ago.

 

I had to keep myself from saving 1970-S nickels because I started to accumulate too many lol. Last year San Francisco minted any pennies or nickels for general circulation. (I can't speak for dimes and quarters. Do know the last thing they ever minted for circulation was the 1980-S SBA dollar.)

 

I take back my statement here. Mine turned out to be a large date. Oops

 

It’s a hard find. Along with the 1960 SD LMC. It seems that it should be possible with volume but a challenging find. Like the 1969 S DDO.

 

Today’s change -

 

These came from my laundromat change machine. They are both nice looking. This is the 1st 2024 like this I've found. Seen all the other ones I think, unless there's a newer one I don't know about. View attachment 1650879

 

I think that the Dr Mary Edwards is the last for 2024. It is the latest style I have been receiving.

 

It isn't; it's the 3rd release of 2024, and was followed by Celia Cruz and Zitkala-Sa. The 4th and 5th seem pretty rare in circulation though.

 

I haven't seen either of those.

 

I have one Celia Cruz from circulation. None of the other 2024 issues.

Here's a coin I got this week. Yes, it's only worth face value but I still get a coin geek thrill getting a 60-year-old copper that still shows mint luster

 

I like that…. Coin geek thrill. With your permission I would like to use that because it totally describes me. I picked up a wheat cent out of the parking lot last week and that was precisely what I felt.

 

I guess I get that geekin thrill also. I love finding older coins in circulation.
