Pocket Change Finds; Post Your Results

Unfortunately, this specimen spent time in a parking lot. But an older specimen from Canada nonetheless.

Just wait! One day, Im going go have something big on here! lol. Thanks for your knowledge. I truly appreciate it.

 

Not actually found in change (FIC), but found on the ground (FOG) in the parking lot when I replaced my shopping cart on Tues. At first I thought it showed die chips on the obverse, until I looked more closely. The 2 "dimples" at Washington's neck and bust line-up with the 2 Dot Peen Marks on either side of the eagle's neck on the reverse. Just PMD, but I'm ultra happy it's sliver.

 

I recently got a Canadian penny back in my change from a store in Alabama.

 

I am sure you will. The thing is that a pocket change find may have numismatic interest or personal interest. I recall the first time a received a button battery. Obviously no value…but quite unexpected. Even a ‘shiny penny’ catches my eye so you never know.

a couple of weeks ago I was in Arizona. I was smiling by all the Denver minted coinage. Nothing rare in the bunch but there were some shiny/higher grade coins with D’s to add to my Denver rolls. I started roll sets for nickels and cents years ago when I did CRH.

 

Well I will keep trying. I found this 1989 today. Is this just damage or something else?

 

what I see here is deterioration. It becomes more obvious as the die ages as the outer/edge devices seem to slide towards the rim. Sometimes it appears as die trails but are different.
