Interesting Find From Circulation

Do you mean 1942 non-silver Jefferson, since they only made silver in 1943. If on the otherhand the date is definitely 1943 _and_ it doesn't have a large mint mark on the back, it could be a rare counterfeit nickel which would be a pretty wonderful find!

$100 Star note

Well folks, I never thought I woul dbe lucky enough to post in this forum but here we go:

Sold a lot of coins that weren't worth much more than melt value to a local dealer this evening. All in all for the 2 of us, it was a little over $2000 worth. Being the anal retentive NCO that I am, I was placing the $100 bills they paid me in in serial number order.

Low and behold as I was puttign them away I see a $100 Star note from the 2001 series. CF00036760*

Anything I shoudl rememebr later on in life about this bill?

 

Got a 1948 silver dime in the register at work today.

 

Lucky! I'm a kid and have no job, and my parents don't work with change (nurse and home improvements) so I never find anything good from circulation

 

Got a $1 star note in change today: 2003 F04890673*. And Friday at work found a crisp, AU - maaaybe CU - old style 1990 $50 bill.

i live in europe and because of having euros there isin't many interesting coin finds, the most exciting finds i've had was a 2 euro coin from some other far away european country and a 20 euro note on the floor.

 

Yea, that's nice on euro that you can make a collection of coins from all the countries... similar to statehood quarters in US

the 20 Euro note was a nice find i only ever found one note on the ground, it was worth about 60 US cents

 

The only problem with collecting euros( at least 1 and 2 euro coins) is to get tempted and use them, actually i'll maby collect euro cents, that would be interesting and not to dificault.

 

1963 Canadian cent.

 

This. Clearly a 44D. I have nothing to do with this coin, but I wanted to tell someone.

 

seems that this seller is innocent here (though ignorant). I contacted him to let him know it is a fake and he said that under a glass it shows an outline of the 4 still so he is contacting the person who sold it to him and he's removed the listing. He's an upright seller afterall.

 

Oh, no doubt.

 

France. 1960. 1 Franc. About Fine.

Looks to be about the size of a quarter.

1927 Lincoln cent in VG+, couple of other wheaties.

 

my first Nebraska quarter

 

Got another silver war nickel today, this time a 1945.

 

I got a 1958 D quarter and 1963 dime at work.

 

My best find from "circulation" was a mule / non-mule / mule changeover triplet, Series 1981 $1 FRNs, star notes on the Kansas City FRB, in CU condition. It was from a pack of new notes I got through my register at the place I worked in the early 1980s. I still have them.

This should give you some hints on just how old I am and how long I've been a paper money geek.

 

Walking by a CoinStar machine yesterday, I noticed a cent on the ground. Stopped to pick it up (of course) and it was a 1948-S wheat!

 

1976 JFK, BU.
