Seeing if the 'thumbnail' will reveal the date better...


It did.

 

picked up ten rolls of quarters from the bank and low and behold found #3 and #4 so far this yr.so i figured i would thank the teller by giving her one of them for being so helpful.

 

Nice! I wonder if she even knows...
Although this should be in a CRH thread, not pocket change

 

We can let this slide...@igotchange has 'change' built right in!!

 

This turned up in change today...

 

So you can't see the date with the naked eye, but you can with a pic, interesting... thanks for the tip!

 

Got this in change at the hardware yesterday. Surprise.

 

My long time friend shared a recent pocket change find with me. He is an avid collector but not into social media. This Jefferson find is sure pretty for its age.

 

Found this in my wife's pocket change.

 

Actually, easier to see under a lighted magnifier and harder to get a picture of. I put it on an angle to catch some shadows to bring out a date. But then I pickled it somemore and was able to get a detectable date without to much lighting trickery. The thing about pickling the nickel is finding the point where to stop...where a date is apparent and where the risk of etching it to a point where the date is no longer recognizable. The series above catches three separate soaks...inching my way to a better photo. Of course it ruins the coin, but it's a spender anyway, so at the very least, the next person to look at it will see a date in-hand and realize what they've found. Perhaps even create a new collector...one who will come visit your listings and items for sale! We can only hope!

1939 D with '38 Reverse. That's a nice find!! Could have been a liberated coin that was taken out of a folder of a deceased collector and put into the wild. Especially given its condition. Suggests that it was in a safe place for a few decades.

 

That reminds me...I haven't checked the wife's change in a long while. I wonder what I've missed!! Nice find!

 

Always great to catch a little unexpected silver!!

 

I’m liking that weeks finds

 

I like your idea, but I think metal detecting finds is more interesting. That’s just me

 

You lost me. Can you clean it up a tad

 

PM me. I’ll send you a W quarter. Bet you found one already

 

How come nobody finds 1938 nickels

 

Is that the year they minted both?
