Yesterday and the day before for the first time in years, I received something worthwhile in my change! Yesterday I got a 1936 Buffalo Nickel! The first I have seen in years! It seems that the tough economy draws a lot of these older coins into circulation. But as I was putting my change in my pocket a nickel that I had dropped the day before (at the same drive thru mind you) was now at my feet near the pedals. I picked it up and saw that it was a 1943-P Jefferson. I had to wait until I got home to check for the overdate, but to no avail. It was still thrilling! I never see these kind of coins in circulation any more!
Cool finds indeed! I work around 18 registers some days and, it can be weeks before I find coins like that in a till.
Funny how such a little think like that can make your day. I got a 1934 wheatie yesterday (from a roll, not in change), and it made me smile. Congrats Mike, especially on the buffalo.......those aren't found often!
