I just sat there and stared at it for a few minutes. The box was looking slim (I only found 4 wheats in the entire box) but towards the end I...
I have 3 VDBs but this is the only one I found in a roll.
Thanks for the kind words. Along with a 1909 VDB (no mintmark) cent and a 1943 war nickel, this is one of my top three CRH finds so far (and I...
1965 quarters (and for a few years after '65) do indeed have a different look to them. When they are in a pile of shiny clad quarters, they can...
Doug Rogers: I have noticed the abundance of 1964 nickels that they have become the bane of my existence. Also, when you mention collecting for...
I save anything from 1960 back including 1960s. I hoard these nickels, no matter what condition they are in. Some of the loveliest coins are the...
I love me some coins with patina...and those nickels are gorgeous.
[IMG] [IMG] \ [IMG] [IMG] I also found a war nickel but apparently I didn't take pictures of it.
My 3 best huntin' finds have been a 1905 Indian head penny, a 1909 VDB wheat, and a 1943 silver war nickel.

I'm the same way. I think if I held a small date in my hand, I would quickly learn the difference. On the other hand, it's easy to tell the...
I pulled this out of a roll that was near the bottom of a box. It is the nicest Indian head penny that I have found out in the wild. It hasn't...

I found this one in a box of BWR pennies: [IMG] [IMG]
I was getting near the bottom of a box of BWR pennies lamenting the fact that I hadn't found much in this box (there were only 4 wheats in the...
If that is true, I should be finding as many 1981 cents as I've found 1980 pennies.
Oh man, don't get me started on the plentiful 1965 quarter. Or the common 1964 nickel.
I also find a lot of 1964 and 1968 one cent coins.
Billions of pennies were minted at the West Point mint from 1974 to 1986. Unfortunately, they didn't have a mintmark. Why didn't they put a W...
