<p>[QUOTE=&quot;mike98024, post: 273988, member: 10019&quot;]Having worked with cash registers 20+ years, the list is kind of long. A full roll of 64 Kennedy halves Unc, several IHC from 1897-1907, 3 Buffs, tons of wheat cents, quite a few war nicks and many silver dimes and quarters and several silver certificates. The only one that stands out was an AU 1944 D/S Lincoln (the less valuable one) that was covered in gunk. I carefully washed it off with soap and water, found the over mintmark and it turned out to be a better example than the one in Cherrypickers guide. (Probably an earlier strike since the S was a bit more formed) I sold it on Ebay for $90 and the buyer was thrilled. If I hadn&#039;t been broke at the time, I would have kept that one!</p><p>&nbsp;My crew thinks I am the worlds biggest geek for keeping a magnifying glass handy, but it is a simple pleasure that breaks up the day.</p><p>&nbsp;Things I have tried to find but never have: any Web notes at all, any state quarter errors, any presidential dollar edge errors, 1994 DDR Lincoln, 1980D/S Lincoln, any paper money errors at all.</p><p>&nbsp;This week a youngster came in with his dad and spent 4 rolls of mixed wheat and Memorial cents. There were 43 wheats including a 29-S and a 1918 both in VG or so. I will give the kid a few dollars next time I see him to encourage him to collect coins. My impression was that he and dad raided dad&#039;s old Whitman so the kid could buy the game he wanted.</p><p>&nbsp;While that list may seem long, it is based of of thousands and thousands of hours behind the til, and some of those finds happened in the late 70&#039;s. Silver halves came around fairly often back then, and the 40% guys were common even 10 years ago.</p><p>&nbsp;Keep looking and learning. Finding the 44D/S was one of the coolest moments I have had and you will have something like that come along if you watch carefully.&nbsp; Mike[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
