I live in the south central part of the USA (Oklahoma) and I rarely ever see S minted coins. I see Ds and Ps all the time. Is it possible that S...
The other day, I bought a full roll of uncirculated 2013 pennies, because 2013 is the year that my interest in coins was revitalized.
I opened about 5 rolls of nickels last night and only found a '58-D and a '60-D.

Tonight was a slow night. I found a 1959-P penny, a 1958-D nickel and a 1960-D nickel, and a Tulsa Transit token.
I hated the design of the Ben Franklin half until one night, I was working at the store and a customer spent a '52 and a '53. I fell in love...
I'm looking for some junk silver quarters. I want them so I can jiggle them together to make the beautiful ringing sound that only silver coins...

Thanks to everybody for their input. I like hearing stories about how things were in the past. Hopefully this forum will exist for many years,...
How can you tell it's thin by looking at some poor quality pictures?
For what it's worth, I have found 3 Franklins, 0 '64 Kennedys, and probably 8 or 10 40% Kennedys since I've been working at the store since March.
All these coins were plucked from circulation. Replated '81-D half with golden colored eagle: [IMG] [IMG] 1962-D silver Rooskie dime, complete...

I've read that pennies have virtually disappeared from Canada since the government quit minting them and started melting them down. I live in the...
