<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Hookman, post: 4155299, member: 99642&quot;]Does your husband have access to the register till at his work?</p><p>He could find many different coins in that till.</p><p>Some things to watch for are silver dimes and quarters. Wheat leaf and Indian Head pennies. Wisconsin state quarters with the extra corn leaves. Alaska? state quarters with the bear fishing with the extra claw.&nbsp; The 2009 Lincoln Cent Lincoln Birthday commemoratives have some things to look for, including the &quot;Skeleton Finger&quot; on his left hand holding the book.</p><p>Have him bring home all of the Sacagawea, Presidential Golden, and *what&#039;s her name* coins he finds and check them for proofs, missing letters and mintmark, and the near and far rim on the *what&#039;s her name* coins. ( I forget her name).</p><p>All of those are possible to find in store/restaurant tills. After you search them, resell the nonkeepers some where other than your till(s) that you&#039;re searching so that you won&#039;t &quot;contaminate&quot; your search areas.</p><p>He can also check for collectible currency for you, such as Silver Certificates, Star notes, old notes with &quot;other than green&quot; seals (red, blue, yellow, brown), and of course the Fancy Serial numbers.</p><p><br /></p><p>Here&#039;s a link for the Fancy Serial numbers :</p><p><br /></p><p><a href="http://www.coolserialnumbers.com/FancySerialNumbers.aspx" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.coolserialnumbers.com/FancySerialNumbers.aspx" rel="nofollow">CoolSerialNumbers.com - Fancy Serial Numbers</a></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>All of that ought to keep the two of you busy for awhile.</p><p>Now the only thing you have to do is......Promise to post pix of anything good you find !!</p><p><br /></p><p>Edit :&nbsp;&nbsp; I forgot about one of my favorite coins Silver War Nickels. From mid 1942 till the end of 1945, nickels were made out of 35% Silver. These are easy to spot and to identify because, first they all mostly look dirty and greasy and second, their mintmark is very large and directly over the dome of Monticello on the reverse. These can be found in tills.</p><p><br /></p><p>Good Luck[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
