Still looks really nice though. I'd throw it in my Mason's jar that I fill with random uncirculated coins.
Thankyou everyone but i will not be putting it into a jar to get scratched up by other coins for sure a coin flip
As a new guy asking, could it be a previously uncirculated coin, from a set,thrown into circulation? This way it would not have suffered the handling a circulated coin normally would have?
Because it would be worth 10 cents in the jar and outside the jar. The jar is just for recent coins I find in circulation that look nice. If they look like MS68/69 I'll put them in a slip. Or, if they are old.
It doesn't have to be from a set. I have Mint rolls of uncirculated Westward Journey nickels that are 14-16 years old, and other people have Mint rolls of State Quarters that are 11-21 years old. Sooner or later, some of these get released into circulation looking like they were just minted yesterday.
Do you have a point, or are you just giving me a hard time? I keep BU coins if I find them. Not any different tht pulling out wheat cents, except the BU coins are more abundant. It would probably cost more to put the 50 or so coins in flips than to just put them in a jar. And also, I do put coins in slips. But only if they are exceptionally good. I put the coins in jar for 2 reasons. One, in the future, I predict that they will be worth more. And 2, they take up much less space than if I were to put them in slips.
My point is if you don't want them for your own collection, why don't you put them back in circulation so someone else (whose standards might not be as high as yours) may have a chance to find them and add them to their collection.
Then, the jar makes no sense. Just laying next to other coins with even the slightest movement will cause them to wear.
I'm one of the goof balls that don't spend coins. I don't care what they look like, I throw all of them in jars, a jar for quarters, a jar for dimes, a jar for nickels, and a jar for cents. I also have a jar for half dollars that was in circulation. I went into a 7/11 to get gas. The gas cost me $19.25 and I gave him a twenty. I got a Washington quarter and a Kennedy Half dollar. The quarter went into the quarter jar and the half dollar went into an empty jar. To date, that is the only half dollar I have gotten in change. At least in the last 40 years or so. I keep hoping I can get a brother half dollar in change to put in my half dollar jar. (There is nothing meant by this, but it is evident that the cashier had been in the US a short time because of his accent.) I told the cashier to save any weird coins for me in the future, which I have gotten a gold platted quarter, an IHC, buffalo nickel and a mercury dime. I also got a two dollar bill. He thought it was fake. I gave him $3 for the $2 bill. We are great friends now.
