[QUOTE="Randy Abercrombie, post: 3168630, member: 92655"]There are a few pocket change coins that I still find semi regularly. [LIST] [*]Wheat cents. Minted prior to 1959 and was what started this lad collecting many years ago. [*]Dimes or quarters minted prior to 1965. These are 90% silver. Still show up from time to time and are worth maybe 11x face. [*]Silver nickels minted during 1943. These too are primarily silver and identifiable by the very large mint mark above Monticello. [*]Surprisingly on vacation this year I was given a Liberty nickel 125 years old in change from a coffee counter. [/LIST] Keeping focused on potential finds like this are realistic and will get you grounded in the greatest hobby in the world. Forget about the “get rich” pocket change claims.
