Occasionally the pocket find is in paper currency. Aside from the Star Note I shared a while back, there are some fun serial number sequences to...
Better get a handful before they are gone. ;-)
Left and right bookends...sequential. 10 book max. ;-)
@CaptainMac snagged a West Point find from the wild - First West Point Quarter Find! | Coin Talk Mac - if you go back a page, you'll see others...
It could be. Almost looks raised...but I'm undecided. Stains and shadows have gotten me in the past. @Felicia04 - You have too much glare...
What’s that by the L in LIBERTY?
I guess I had it in my head from your first post that it was copper...which sounded like a copper slug. I've found those in the past...knockouts...

I agree with the slug theory...I've found plenty of them over the years. Odd to be in a solid roll of BU quarters...but possible I suppose. As...
Feeling like this definition might fit better - Dual Misalignment Of Both Dies (error-ref.com) Off-center strike going in different directions.
I released 7 cull V Nickels I got on trade with a fellow enthusiast some years ago. Definitely not one of mine (each was clipped/damaged).
That was unfortunate to say the least. Bypassing the checks can be costly. I know a few missing part of a digit. And they weren’t necessarily...
The thickness catches many folks but this is a normal cent. You’ll see this thickness on zincs and coppers. I’ve not found 002 in the wild yet, so...
Some silver in the wild - https://www.cointalk.com/threads/pretty-sweet-find-today.395221/ Fun finds @Gam3rBlake !!
