Massachusetts is pretty brutal on coins. The ground is often on the acidic side. I've had a couple hits that ended up being a nice pile of green...
I popped open a bison nickel (bank) roll the other night and was happy to find 41 nickels in it. Nothing major, but it did make up for the end...
No more odd a place than a previous post of mine....on the top of candy/soda vending machines. Alot of the vendors are in the habbit of throwing...
Nice finds on the buffs! Can you read any of the dates? I seriously doubt you'd have the same luck with "people wrapped" coins. People are more...
Hmmm...sounds like 3 days to go search coins ;) Congrats.

Is this a sintered planchet? See the comparison.
hmmmm.....I'm curious, its it possible this is post mint damage. I only ask b/c last night I was experimenting with ways of rapidly toning...
