Interesting Find From Circulation

Had another good day! Got 1 more box of Bison Nickels, 1964 Silver Half, and a 1943 P silver war nickel!

RE: Bags

I called them up, becasue I atleast wanted a bag of each change type.
But they said they use them for there coin machines, i think that's what see said. So, I lucked out on that!

We get nothing as exciting in change, certainly no silver.

Last time i pulled a 1940s coin (or rather a whole pile of them) out of circulation was back in June 1993, but that was nothing out of the ordinary back then. 1948s turned up regular as clockwork.

Up until 1997 the oldest legal tender coins around were dated 1969 then even they were demonetised.

Now i have to make do with the oldest coins being dated 1971. I quit change collecting in 1993 and moved to buying all my coins at shops.

 

Hey, I just searched my first box of pennies, all from one person (I know because they had the person's name on them), and I know it had been searched for wheats because there was only one ugly one, but I did get $2.50 in pre 1959-1969 pennies, is this about usual? Also, how many wheats do you guys average per box?

 

lol with my luck 1 or 2 per 7 rolls id say so in a box of $50 itd be 7 to 14

 

opps i belice itd be 14 to 21

 

or 14 to 28!!!!!!jeeze its too late for me to do math

 

Thats a good amount of wheats! I hope my luck will pick up!

 

I live in England, but for the past two years I have taken a two week family holiday in Orlando Fl (just returned last week and still suffering withdrawal symptoms). in the space of 4 weeks total, I am amazed at the amount of collectable US coins I was able to find. Perhaps the Orlando area is coin-rich due to people holidaying from all over the States. However, in the space of these two short holidays I have been able to obtain no les than 36 different State Quarters up to the California issue (this figure does include 14 from the Denver mint). SCA dollars 1979P (both wide and narrow date) and 1979D together with Sac 2000P and D. The Post Office stamp machine gave me all of the dollar coins in one load of change this year when I needed some stamps for post cards and only had a $20 note. I have also found the peace, keel boat and 2005 buffalo nickels and was given a 2003 series $2 bill shopping in St Augustine. Many thanks, with change finds like this I will not need to visit too many dealers to keep my USA collection flowing.

Regards,

PAB.

 

I'm going to Orlando next week. Maybe I can finally get some of the D mint state quarters I'm missing from my pocket change collection.

I got a bison nickel yesterday in change, first one I've seen in circulation. Maybe it's one of the dozen I took to work to hand out to co-workers. Maybe I'll start engraving my initials on them.

I still haven't seen a 2004 nickel in circulation.

 

Latest 2 of the new Buffalo nickels and a 1954S Wheatie.

 

u havent seen a 2004???? WOW im surprised

 

My daughter gave me a 1906 Barber dime from her cash drawer today. It is in pretty good shape.

 

wow nice find for her

 

Its snowing today so I decided to stay in today and go thru a pile of pennys and found this also found one with a missing collar. Any clues what that is beneath and to the side of the D. The D is also to the left of it's normal position. Glad it was snowing or this would of passed unnoticed.

 

It might be another D but I'm not too good at this type of thing...neat find!!

Speedy

 

I compared this with another 83d and the mark on the right is where the D should be, it looks (the definite D ) to be about 1/16 of an inch to far left. Took another look and the extra mark is copper, and the e in e-pluribus looks kind of strange. Maybe I'll send it in to coppercoins and see what they say. Thanks.

 

Hah! I'm some what color blind so I can't see the sil. color. I'm by no means an expierienced variety collector and will have to rely on others opinion in that area. What got me into looking for them after coming across some odd looking coins lately. I've got a very odd quarter I would like your opinion on and will flip up a picture in a few days. By the way A few wks. ago you recommended that I send my prf. set to NCG well thats were it's headed, a dealer told me that it has corrosion. Thanks
