<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Numismania, post: 1924616, member: 28971&quot;]Congrats, Jay, on a great find!&nbsp; Though, are those carbon spots, or does it just &#039;need a bath&#039;?&nbsp; And, when you say &#039;just found this&#039;, did you find it &#039;in the wild&#039;, or did you cherry yourself??&nbsp; Either way, I&#039;m assuming it only cost you a penny (or less if you cherried yourself), making it a REALLY great find, and it IS in great condition!</p><p><br /></p><p>All I found today was from the CoinStar machine at the supermarket.&nbsp; Among 13 mutilated Lincoln Mems, I found a &#039;43-S steelie!&nbsp; Not a BIG deal, but a &#039;43 San Fran steelie, found in a CoinStar in Mass, roughly XF, even wear, not damaged in the slightest?&nbsp; What a trail it has taken, and the stories it could tell!!&nbsp; Not worth much, but it made my trip to the market &#039;worth it&#039; (won&#039;t pay for any of my groceries, but knowing things like this are still out there....still gives one hope of possibly finding something rarer).&nbsp; It was funny, as I showed my exuberance over my find, and NOONE&nbsp; could understand why I was getting so excited about finding &#039;only a penny&#039;..lol....non-coin collectors, I&#039;ll tell ya!..lol&nbsp; It was especially &#039;sweet&#039; for me, as I am a &#039;twenty-something&#039;, and never experienced finding 90%, Wheaties, Buffs, etc, on a regular/semi-regular basis in pocket change, as a lot of you &#039;more seasoned&#039; (<img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie2" alt=";)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> ) members can remember.&nbsp; Now, I hear CoinStar&#039;s are &#039;on the way out&#039; (this store HAS moved the machine from the busy part of the checkout area to the most out-of-the-way place in the whole store, so, it may very well be true).&nbsp; This means I&#039;ll only have the &#039;self check-outs&#039; to check for change, now.&nbsp; Boy, the stares you get when checking change slots nowadays!![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
