Older Lincolns Showing Up in Change This Week

I pretty much use cash for any purchases I make. I get lots of change which of course I always look through!

Haven't found anything silvery in a while, but all of a sudden a bunch of older Lincolns and a Canadian cent in the past few days!

That half gallon milk jug weighs probably 20 pounds or more. Maybe I should do a guess the dollar amount post!

 

That 72 looks like a die crack. Have fun. My dad had a full one like that.

 

I just noticed that die crack after you mentioned it! Interesting.

 

Looks like it goes under liberty.

 

Gallon milk jug? $48 bucks.

 

This half gallon milk jug is probably $250 in change, 3/4 full!

 

lol! Ok he will have to hand count it!

 

Yes, I'm not familiar with die cracks or errors, but it does look unusual!

 

It looks like it to me from that photo.

Die Crack Errors:
Instead of a piece of metal breaking away from a die completely, this error results when a die simply splits (or cracks). Instead of a “blob” of metal, these will show as a raised line on the coin.

 

I usually coin dump at the coin star machine and just get a no fee Amazon credit! But maybe I can talk my four daughters into counting them out, my eyes aren't so good anymore!

 

Coin star sounds better than hand counting lol!

 

Yes, but my girls really enjoy sorting through coins and I enjoy watching them finding something special!

Last time we went through a box of half dollars everyone found at least one silver (40%), and my youngest daughter had one she set aside for some reason, it was a '64 Kennedy!

 

A crack like this?

 

Coins from the 60's!! Wow, I feel old now.
BTW: I don't see a die crack on the '72. Just some staining.

 

Yikes!

 

That one is on a 52'

 

That’s awesome!

 

I thought it looked like one.
