<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Lord Geoff, post: 1640935, member: 42001&quot;]OK perhaps I exaggerate I&#039;m sure there are some greater...But I doubt in my lifetime I will see anything less likely.</p><p><br /></p><p>I was thinking to myself it had been awhile since I had found anything interesting since the war nickel that got me into this hobby 6 months ago. Bought a muffin and checked my change and noticed that one of my &quot;quarters&quot; didn&#039;t have Washington on either side. Got to my cube and discovered it was a 1987 Canadian quarter worth about 25 Canadian cents. Cool, anyway <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>I was telling my sister about it and she (who has no interest in coins) decided to rummage through her purse to check the change she got in Vegas. A 1965 quarter (not silver) and a 1942 S wheat cent (bad condition). Pretty cool.</p><p><br /></p><p>I go to the card store last night and sitting on the table randomly is a 1953 (I think) Cayman Islands 5 cent piece in MS condition. I give $1 for it and find out later it&#039;s worth about $.10. Still cool! No one has any clue how it got on the table.</p><p><br /></p><p>Here&#039;s where it gets weird. My housemate walks in the store and is like &quot;Hey is this worth more than a penny?&quot; Hands it to me, I see it&#039;s a wheat. I say probably 4 cents. Flip it over, and 1942S. What?!!</p><p><br /></p><p>So after months of no finds, on the same day 2 foreign coins show up out of nowhere and then 2 people across the country from each other both find a wheat penny of the exact same year and mint.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
