I don't even like that. Don't get me started on the "talk to text" feature messing up!

On the what???

 

It's called "Talk to Text". It's where you just say what you want in the phone, and it types out your words for you but often it gets the wrong words, and it can be really interesting.

 

You gotsta be the best at this

 

Late last month I treated myself to a box quarters (a first for me). I have been slowly going through them, and about half-way through, this is what I found so far (sorry about the picture quality -- or actually the lack of quality): two Canadian quarters (the 2008 one is very nice looking), a West-Point mint, an S-coin, an Arizona with the extra-leaf just being to grow, and a 2023-D (which may not seem exciting, but given my physical location, I usually have to wait a lot longer before I find one of them).

 

Gees That a good haul

 

Where is the extra leaf on the Arizona quarter?

 

@meandyou4ever0 …I believe it is the die chip-looking thing above the designers’ initials directly above the M/UNUM. I found one about 2 years ago and that’s where I remember it to be located. The fully developed extra-leaf partially obscures the designers’ initials…imo…Spark

 

Found a war nickel in a Take a Penny Leave a Penny.

Replaced it with a quarter! Always a fun find!

 

In my post I noted that I had found an extra-leaf Arizona quarter.

@Spark1951 said it well. (Go Hogs! Woo Pig Sooie! I started my coin collecting activity when I lived in Arkansas many, many, many years ago.) In the picture below, on the left, the red circle highlights the critical area on a regular coin. There are two leafs below the cactus, a clear space, and then the initials JFM. In the coin I recently found (top right, arrow) I noted that the extra leaf was "just beginning to grow". Below that is a pic of a coin I found a few years ago... the leaf there had grown bigger.

same here, I have been cleaning up after all the storms that have passed through my area. This weather is insane.

 

Yup, that is an amazing find!
