    Look for more of these in different categories. They do fit a lot of them.

    Lets keep the theme going a little longer

    This thread is making me look at my coins more carefully and see many small details I passed over before. May as well continue with same theme. 1988 Jamaica 10 c obv.JPG 1988 Jamaica 10 c rev.JPG

    I assume these flaws on the surface of this coin are from die cracks. 1780 H 2 s obv.JPG 1780 H 2 s rev.JPG

    Here is a (dateless) Buffalo nickel I dug up, early in my detecting career. It appears to have a die break (cud) on the reverse. Note the raised area where "F" in "FIVE" should be. There's another apparent crack/cud near the top of the Indian's head. I'd have guessed a lamination on that, had it not been for the filled area around the "F" in "FIVE" on the opposite side.

    Regardless of what the actual error(s) are, and the fact this coin likely has very little numismatic value as-is, it was a fun find.

    For our next theme, post a coin you found rather than bought through numismatic channels. This could apply to metal detecting, coin roll hunting, or circulation finds, whatever - even just something you picked up off the ground. It can be something nice ... or nasty. Just any kind of coin you found.

    I don't have a metal detector, though I wish I did. I do get a few rolls of LMC's from small town banks I run into.

    Found this one in a CWR a while ago. Not very valuable, but it is an in your face RPM. It's on Wexler's Top 100 list. 1959D002.jpg

    Same theme please...Something found.

    Maybe the segments of that bracelet were made from shillings like this? 1954 AU shilling obv.JPG 1954 AU shilling rev.JPG

    I once dug a 1940s Aussie sixpence that had been domed out to make a comvex button.

    Lots of Australian silver pieces were made into love tokens and charms and similar souvenirs and were brought home from the Pacific theater of WW2 by US servicemen.

    I for the most part forget the parks, and other common places.
    Because of the laws for rite of ways here in CO. a lot of folks think I am trespassing, until they call the police and find out they are wrong.
    Then it's just a matter of how bad you pissed them off! Most of the time I am ok, unless I am to close to the hood.

    Pocket change in Japan is what got me started on my adult coin collection:

    (and doing the slabbed type set probably has had a grader at NGC scratching their head over the literal pocket change I've sent in a time or two).

    Muzyck Rabbits!

    Here is one I have like that. Pocket change from a trip to Athens and Corfu when I was in my teens in the late 70's...

    Owls are a theme dear to my heart. :)

    My other owl coin--until I get one more like the @lordmarcovan variety:

    Next, a coin with the designer's name on it. (Going by the looks of it, looks like France had a hand in this coin's production).
